Opera 9.0 Preview 1 is now available for download
We are still at an early stage in the development of Opera 9 (code-name Merlin), however, we are very excited about the next version of Opera and are releasing this Preview to the Community to give you a taste of the new technologies and improved standards support we have been working on lately. Some of the new features include:- support for XSLT, Canvas 2D, and Web Forms 2.0
- rich-text editing on Web pages
- site-specific preferences
- a new IMAP back-end
- access to Opera's preferences via opera:config
Also in this release are new default shortcuts. We continue to make progress on our BitTorrent support and it will be included in a public release as soon as possible. For complete changelogs and download links see:
- Windows
- Unix
- Mac
We invite users to discuss the Preview in the Forums and Newsgroups. We are particularly interested in feedback about:
- speed and stability
- IDing as Opera by default
- rendering regressions since Opera 8.5
- problems connecting to secure sites using TLS 1.1

Can't wait until this is official! I'm going to start doing some SVG testing soon on this build.

+1.
Maybe I´m blind or something but I can´t find anything about Site-specific settings are now available as part of the site-specific ini settings.A User Interface for these settings is not yet available.

The ua.ini is already inside opera6.ini. Guess we just have to add the rest...
A syntax list would be nice, though
Question: is opCache, in the installation dir, just for the help pages, or anything more?
Thanks to you, Opera ASA,

TheMajor, nice to see ya outside of Tech-Forums.
Take the Acid 2 test guys, Opera is almost there. Opera:config rocks!

I think it is. Click the panel selector itself to hide the panel only.

I've been using the shortcut "Paste and go" (Ctrl+D), but now this has been changed to "Add bookmark"
Read my blog post for a simple way to return to the old shortcuts:

It's not possible to select text at the acid2 page. Like you click and drag. When releasing the mouse the selection goes away.

The syntax as used for the spoof settings is a general syntax, use it like this:
[server name] Section name|Prefs parameter
... and add the server name to the [Overrides] section.
example.org settings will be overridden by foo.example.org settings. Not *all* settings can be overridden in site-specific settings, but the most useful settings can.

OpCache is only used for Help pages (unless you change that yourself in opera:config

Nope, just install in a different directory, and remember to use the correct directory once you upgrade to the final Opera 9 in the future. Don't set this version as default, and hardly anything will go in the Registry.

I had a line in ua.ini like:
www.nwolb.com=5
which worked fine; doesn't seem to work in O9 though unfortunately. Thanks for your help!

Curious part is that if you drag the "x" button the Buttons > Panels section to the same place, the behaviour is normal, unlike the "x" button in the "default" section.

#1 Indeed. Please file a bug report!
#2 A separate choice would be nice - or maybe reuse the mail compose font. For now, change the font for 'Dialogs' in Opera's prefs.
#3 Glad you like it!
#4 I doubt we should do that.

If that is so, could you clarify how I need to mod this to make it work with my bank, since Opera 9 stopped working with it, where it was working with 8.5.

Add www.nwolb.com to the section [overrides] in opera6.ini, and add
[www.nwolb.com]
User Agent|Spoof UserAgent ID=5

One question: What means the start in the address pane?
This canvas demo works, you can draw on the big box, but the IE logotype does not appear:
http://ponderer.org/download/canvas_demo/
And now some problems (using hesido test case pages):
- pagerenderingstresstest - besides original problem with slow box movement updates, there's another one - some refreshing glitches (I thought that these would be dealt with in Opera 9, but it seems it added some more of them),
- avisitedstylingperf - not fixed
- some rich text editing controls does not work - one is in polish auction system - allegro (but it needs an account) and another one is here: http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm . Both have same issue - edit box is not editable

How I can download a skin without reinstalling? (because I saved some options and I don't want to lost them and I can't install Opera over this one because when I do that always Opera works incorrectly) yes, I can go to the customize Opera and select a skin, but like the interface is damaged I can't select anything in the dialogs!!!
Many Thanks

EDIT: ufff, solved it, I forgotten that Opera applies the skin automatically and now is fine
Guys, you are the best!Web Forms 2 rocks! Especially type=date. Wow! Test for yourself here: http://olav.dk/wf2/demo/
But I found already couple regressions in CSS rendering. Will post in separete topics.
