Back on the bleeding edge...

Part of the fun of being inside a company like Opera is seeing the cool stuff first. The compensation for knowing about something but not being allowed to say it (being listed on the stock market means there are lots of things that can't be mentioned until they have been told) is being allowed to play with stuff first.
I got a new version of Opera yesterday - the latest and greatest hot-off-the-build-machine internal "we haven't checked whether this works yet but we know it is different to the last build" test version.
Which is always a scary thing to do. Backup everything everywhere (which is something that should be doneregularly anyway, of course), install new stuff and make some escape branches just in case, and then fire it up.
So far, so good...

Is Opera can be this dangerous?

@Andrew the issue for me is that I don't want to change mail client handling often, so I am not prepared to move to something that I think might damage my email.
@Ramunas, whenever you think is a good time
