Google is moving along at a fast clip updating its open source Chrome browser. Now, as noted on the Google Operating System blog, there is a pre-beta version of Chrome 2.0.156.1 available. This version is intended primarily for developers, but you can get it bysubscribing to the developer preview channel here. (Note that if you are subscribed to this channel, the iterative developer updates will be pushed to you as they arrive, which you may or may not want.) There are a lot of updates to the browser in this new release, and a post on the Chromium Developer Blog outlines them. Here’s what’s under the hood.
Chrome is based on the open source WebKit rendering engine, and the new version runs a new version of WebKit. The Chromium Developer Blog notes that previous versions of Chrome ran the same version of WebKit as Safari 3.1 runs, but there are a lot of improvements in the new WebKit. The new version supports many new CSS functions, including gradients, reflections, and full-page zoom and autoscroll.
There are also new Form Autocomplete features in the new Chrome, which will help remember what you’ve typed into fields on web pages. (You can disable this on the Minor Tweaks tab of the Options dialog.)
There is also new flexibility in spell checking in version 2.0.156.1. You can enable or disable these by right-clicking in a text field.
For quite a few other enhancements, see the Chromium Developer Blog post. Keep in mind that this is a pre-beta release, but it’s good to see development of this open source browser moving along quickly. I also continue to be impressed with how steadily WebKit improves, which is an important trend since WebKit underlies many more browsers than just Safari and Chrome, including many open source browsers.

Short Message Service (SMS)-capable phones are the most common digital-access devices in the world, with more than 2.5 billion devices sold to date. Unfortunately, much of the great data and functionality based in PC networks has been unavailable to SMS-based phones. Just as a PC can be used as a Web server, this technology enables anyone with a Windows smartphone and a PC to create an SMS server, thereby bridging computer networks with that of SMS. In particular, we are excited about this technology because it enables small organizations such as schools, microfinance organizations, and even a lone IT staff worker to experiment and deploy SMS based applications cheaply. They can build these applications using Visual Studio or Excel. Additionally, this technology does not require that a developer gain permission from the local telephone company. The developer just plugs in a phone and pays for any SMS messages her program generates or receives. Sample applications we expect people to create: Schools can SMS hundreds of parents simply by filling out an Excel spreadsheet. Organizations can make their corporate directories easily available to any employer with an SMS cell phone. Sales representatives can SMS a customer name or number to their company’s SMS server and receive that customer’s ERP information. This is mostly an enabling technology that will help many developers to create SMS applications easily and cheaply. We believe that this platform providing SMS “server sessions” is the first of its kind and will make it easy for developers to create dialogue-based interactions via SMS, essentially enabling people to create interfaces as robust as an iPod UI.

F# is a variant of the ML programming language for .NET and has a core language similar to OCaml. F# is a mixed functional/imperative/object-oriented programming language excellent for medium/advanced programmers and for teaching. It also can be used to access hundreds of .NET libraries, and the F# code can be accessed from C# and other .NET languages. This release of F# includes a command-line compiler; “F# for Visual Studio,” which provides interactive syntax highlighting, parsing, type checking, and intellisense for F# code inside Visual Studio 2003/2005/Orcas; and “F# Interactive,” a command-line, top-level environment for F#.
