spiegel.de: Opera is trend-setting

, , , ...

The reputable German magazine spiegel-online published a pretty positive article about Opera on the occasion of the release of Opera9 yesterday: Inputs for the browser market (German language).

Originally posted by translation of spiegel.de:


For ten years Norwegian Opera-team is regularly trend-setting in browser market.
...
Although broad public ... most notably looks at the big two (note: IE + Firefox), the real inputs and ideas for the definitions of web browsers in the last years have come mainly from Oslo.
...
Thus, who is looking for the trends in browser market is well advised to look into the direction of Oslo.

Seit zehn Jahren setzt das norwegische Opera-Team regelmäßig die Trends im Browsermarkt.

Obwohl die breite Öffentlichkeit ... vor allem auf die großen Zwei (Anmerkung: IE + Firefox) schaut, kamen die echten Inputs und Ideen für die Ausgestaltung von Web-Browsern in den letzten Jahren vor allem aus Oslo.
...
Wer also nach den Trends im Browsermarkt sucht, ist gut beraten, nach Oslo zu schauen




In the article are some flaws on some details about Bittorent integration and Fast Forward - I already sent a letter to the editor about this.

Launch of Opera9 final on June 20th

At least that is my guess meshing up information.

Thread of weekly from 9. June 2006

Originally posted by Rijk:

Startign with this weekly, the installer is ready for 'Opera 9 final' and so no longer updates in the 'beta' directory but instead picks the last 'final' directory



  • Beta2 is already some time ago and it is quite usual to have final after Beta2.


  • The last weeklys don’t have new features and are really stable in general. Bugs are mostly known issues (and therefor half solved) and there is just about enough time to remove the known bugs.

It’s not clear whether Opera and Mozilla will work this issue out in time for the release of Opera 9 later this month




Update 17.06.2006:

Daily bugfix-weeklys: Monday, 12. June 2006, Wednesday, 14. June 2006, Thursday, 15. June 2006, Friday, 16. June 2006


All packages are compiled for (final) test in yet another daily! - my guess: this codebase is thought as final build (as long as no severe bugs have to be fixed)
