With Chrome 18 stable out the door and onto people's computers, Google is working on getting Chrome 19 from the dev channel to the beta channel. The latest dev channel release, Chrome 19.0.1084.1 is probably the first step towards that and a beta should be landing soon enough.

In the meantime, the latest dev releases fixes several issues. Users are now able to add the Gmail app to Chrome, something that was broken in the previous version. The Gmail app comes built into Chrome, of course.

Theme and bookmarks bar notifications have also been fixed in the latest update. Finally, the popup prompt for Flash plugin installs is now working as it should.

Given that Google is trying to graduate Chrome 19 to the beta channel, you can expect nothing but fixes to the dev channel for the next few releases, which should be coming more frequently than usual now.
