If you are a mainstream Chrome user, the first stable version of Chrome 13 is now available for auto upgrade.  Why upgrade?

Also, the omnibox, Chrome’s combination search box and address bar, has gotten much smarter in the latest release, making it even easier for you to get back to pages you’ve visited before. Just type part of the page’s address or title and look in the dropdown for matching pages from your history.

To manually upgrade, go to ‘About Chrome’ and hit the upgrade button (below):

Also, Linux and Windows users will now get a print preview (Linux before Mac?! oh ChromeOS :P).
