내가 Virtual Box를 블로그를 통해서 소개한지 꽤 오랜 시간이 지났다.
가상화와 관련된 제품들이 많이 나오고, 또 앞으로도 유용하게 사용될 것이라는 점에 대해서는 크게 의심하지 않는 바이다.

내가 이 제품에 대해서 관심을 갖게 된 이유로는 무료로 사용할 수 있으면서도 기능과 버전이 빠르게 올라갈 만큼 사용자가 원하는 기능들을 지속적으로 개발해 나가고 있었기 때문이다. 더군다나 메뉴와 도움말을 한글로 지원하기까지 했다.

이 제품은 원래는 Sun에서 개발하던 제품이었는데, 오라클로 합병하면서 오라클에서 제공하던 오라클 VM 서버 제품군과 중복이 되어서, 추가 개발이 이루어 지지 않을지 걱정했었다. 선과 오라클과의 합병은 개인적으로는 별로 바람직한 방향이 아니고, 단지 비즈니스적으로 주도권을 유지하는 측면으로만 진행될거라 예상했고, 실제로 이러한 우려와 예측은 틀리지 않았다.

이러한 와중에서 며칠전, 지난 12월 22일자로 Virtual Box의 새로운 버전인 4.0 버전이 Release 된것은 굉장히 놀라운 소식이었다.

4.0 버전으로 릴리스 하면서, 추가된 기능과  변경되 몇가지 주요 Feature들은 다음과 같다.

인터넷에서 크롭의 정식이 임박했다는 소문이 흘러다니더니, 결국 어제 1.0 버전이 Release 되었다. 

나는 몇가지 브라우져를 동시에 사용하지만, 사실 Chrome을 기본 브라우져로 사용하지 않는다. 이유는 정식 버전도 아니고, 단순하고 빠르지만, 여러면에서 불편했었기 때문이다. 이번에 발표된 1.0은 이러한 부분들이 당연히 개선되었을 것이라고 생각한다.

새로운 버전을 받아서 설치하려면, 아래의 Google  Chrome 사이트에서 다운 받아 사용하면 된다.

   - Google 크롬: http://www.google.com/chrome/

아래는 내가 사용 하였던 0.4.154.29 버전의 Google 크롬의 정보 창이다.
어제 회사의 크롬을 설치하였고, 오늘은 집에 있는 PC의 크롬을 설치 하였다. 하단에 "새 버전 설치 중..." 이라는 Text가 보인다. (새로운 버전으로 Upgrade 하는 있다.)


새로운 버전의 설치가 마무리 되면, 아래와 같이 브라우져를 새로 시작하라는 메시지가 나타난다. 새로 크롬을 시작 시켜야 한다.



새로 설치한 크롬의 버전이 0.4.154.29에서 1.0.154.36으로 변경 되었다.
그런데 신기한 것은 중간의 "154"가 같다는 것이다. 시실은 0.4.154.36 버전이 아닐까 쉽다.


구글의 한글 블러그에

지난 10월 30일에 Spring Framewrk 2.5.6버전이 릴리즈 되었다.
지금 내가 하고 있는 프로젝트는 Spring 2.5.5를 기반으로 개발하고 있는데, 현재 개발자 테스트를 시작하고 있는 중이다. 프로젝트 종료가 올해말로 예정되어 있기 때문에 현재 구성되어 있는 개발 환경을 바꾸지 않고 올해 말까지 진행 하기로 하였다. 

그래도 변경된 부분을 살펴봐야 하기에 로그를 살펴 보았는데, 여느때 보다는 수정된 목록들의 개수가 적었다. 그 만큼 많은 부분들이 안정되어 간다는 말일 거다.

오늘 ZdNet을 보니 구글 크롬이 새로운 버전이 릴리즈되었다는 기사가 떴다.
관련된 기사의 링크는 다음과 같다. http://www.zdnet.co.kr/news/internet/browser/0,39031243,39174206,00.htm

크롬은 물론 아직 정식 버전이 아니다. 하지만 많은 가능성을 내포하고 있는 브라우져이다. 현재 정식 버전이 아니므로, 시장 점유율은 아직 미약하지만 어떤 식으로든 많은 사람들에게 배포될 것이다.

아래 구글 크롬의 Release Note를 보면 그동안 알려진 버그들이 고쳐졌음을 알 수 있다.
