[RQ] New Next snapshot with every non-Next release

To quote Olli:

Opera Next, basically a dev channel for snapshots

I think a fresh Next build should accompany each of the other snapshots. The last few releases seem to be a good example why to do this.
Otherwise it doesn't look much like a "dev channel"...

P.S. Although this is a request, it concerns specifically the beta testing, so i post it here.

The devs need focus on the 11.60 builds if next builds would also appear now, people will download and test them.
While 11.60 has priority now

As far as I know, Next differs from the other builds just in that it defaults to a different installation path. You can always have a portable install of a snapshot running alongside a stable version.

The current situation is temporary, we don't plan on keeping this up after the 11.60 release. But for now indeed, Next snapshots will lag a bit to encourage use of the 11.60 snapshots by the desktopteam blog readers.

There's also the matter of hardware acceleration and the new themes. Apart from that, there's currently no difference.
