A preface:
This is neither development or a question. This is simply an informative post that needs to be in the development section to save many users issues. (also most people looking for custom roms dont look in general section)
I did not create this.
New official CWM v5.8.2.0 (link below)
A few of us have confirmed that it now properly backs up and restores the boot.img
This Helps with the following issues
-Possibly fixes bricks (by properly restoring boot.img)
-Correctly comes with Staging/System unmounted
-Nandroid Restores properly the boot.img (of backups created with this CWM). This means no more issues when restoring a Rom if you are coming from another from (for example, if you are restoring Virtuous after wiping cm9)
Additionally:
-Backups are now about 10x faster
-Restores are a bit faster (not as dramatic as backups)
Still no go:
-External SD Card (Pretty sure)
-Reboot into recovery (probably a software issue within OS anyway)
Manual install:Here is the link to the file if you prefer to manually install (EASY WAY BELOW) -Must have unlocked bootloader
------
Easy Install -Must have unlocked bootloader.
Use Rom Manager:
Install Rom Manager from the market -> Open -> First Option: 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'-> Done.
This can be done over your current CWM (if you installed it via ViperMod) or manually)
If you have issues installing via RM try this

This is no more or no less development than this thread
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510983
This cwm is more up to date and will prevent many end users from making the mistake of installing an outdated version. These 2 threads can (and should) be merged as long as the thread title has the latest CWM in it and the OP has some information regarding it.
Thanks

I think he is referring to this THREAD/ToolI had the same issue, when I first tried to install CWM via Rom Manager.
I solved it by installing the version that installs via the Prime Time Root program. Then installed the Rom Manger version without a hitch.
or
you need to update the superuser binary. open the superuser app and go to the top right wrench icon. click it and scroll down to "Su Binary x.xx" click it to update, do it a couple times for good measure. re-install rom manager after uninstalling it from market. open it up and try again.
