A smile on a sad day

Yesterday, the developers fixed a couple of issues, and Opera can now pass the Acid 2 test without breaking the rest of the web. So in todays weekly build, the smiley has clear eyes. This shows the steady progress in CSS support in Opera.

But yesterday was also a sad day. Chaals is a much better writer, I'll let him speak for me. I'll just say it's the end of an era for Opera.

Scare at the Opera

It's rather late in the evening, you are chatting on an internal IRC channel. Suddenly your boss chimes in with a frightening "OMG, what happened with Acid 2?" People go looking, and discover major regressions in the latest build! And that just after we had made such progress! Red background again, no more green eyes...

The cooler minds notice this is also showing in yesterday's build. And in Firefox the face also got a red background, which it never had in that browser... A look at the source code learns that the DATA-URLs have been replaced by simple relative URLs. Pointing to files that don't exist on the webstandards.org server. Phewwww, that's a relief. Now, after a good night sleep, the smiley has been restored to it's former glory.

Acid 2 progress

Haavard beat me to it in mentioning it in his Journal, but I've posted a screenshot of the Acid 2 smiley as shown in yesterday's internal Opera build. The OBJECT fallback behavior has just been improved, so the smiley started looking like a smiley :smile:

And a nice thing about a Journal is that you can link to images attached to Forum posts :smile:

Edit:
And here's the link to the sticky Forum thread

  • Web Apps Need More UI, Not Less

    I haven’t used Chrome yet, though I know people who work on it, and it looks like a good browser with some good new ideas. But I’m unsure of the benefits of one of its main talking points: that what web applications really need is to have less browser “chrome” around them. As I put it in an ...

  • Tested: Google Chrome vs Opera vs Safari | News | ...

    Safari isn't a bad browser, but on the PC it's not a great one, either. Whether it's arrogance, laziness or a combination of the two, the interface that works so well on the Mac looks completely out of place (the word we'd use is "minging") on XP or Vista, and while the browser itself does the essen ...

  • Intelligence in the Cloud

    There's a general misconception as to what, exactly, the "cloud" really is. I think most people imagine it as just a large cluster of computers, hooked up together as a large database or map/reduce storage system sitting behind a load balancer so that it can respond to requests as scalably as possi ...

    An academic from the University of Amsterdam is seething after the European Commission requested several reports from him, then utterly failed to mention them as it proposed a 45-year copyright term extension that he had argued against. Read More...

  • Mousers vs. Keyboardists

    Since the dawn of the graphical user interface there has been tension between those that favor the mouse and those that favor the keyboard.
