Opera 9 TP2 coming not soon at all? Read all about it!

sounds like good news, though his update isn't very promissing.

Too bad. RSN sounds so much better...

I'm tired. I love Opera, and check to see if a new version pt2 has been released AT LEAST TWICE A DAY! . . . . . . to my sad disappointment.

yeah, give us a new toy

Smells good

I think this possibly is because of Opera CES2006

Just like me! I have to go back to Opera 8.5 soon if no new beta is coming, it's just to many bugs in 9b1, I can't handle it anymore.

Then you're out of luck yngvewb. There'll be a technology preview but not a beta.

When is CES2006? . . . . and exactly what is it? I'm guessing it is when they show their latest products off, no?

CES2006 = The largest Consumer Electronics Show of the year.

Which already took place...

Please fix bugs, 100% CPU coming out of standby and hibernate is my biggest issue. Then some M2 improvements. Here's hoping!!!

Well xErath, some call it beta, Opera call it preview, what’s the difference? I can’t see any difference.

And I have to confess a lie. I have never used Opera 8.5. In the last months, or maybe it’s a year, I’ve been using Opera previews most of the time…

As I understood it, preview is only what can be technically done, but it does not mean that this will find its way into a final or even beta

Opera for Devices wants to meet you at CES 2006!

I'm waiting and waiting,
but nothing happens.

add me to the list of impatient waiters!

I hope they release it soon enough. I am using 'other' browser because some of the features dont work with Opera. And the experience suck. Hope the WIR is soon.

Are you moaning about a Preview release?

Same here!

I gave up on asking as to when a realese will be out long time ago.

The answer is always WIR. It does not matter how pretty you ask.

It won't happen.

Just be patient........

I've had to switch back to Opera 8.51. This Preview is the buggiest version of Opera I have ever used, and I've used all Previews and Beta's since Opera 7. The gmail thing is just killing me. I can't use Preview 1 because it crashes insesantly when replying to e-mail using gmail. It almost made me just go back to Firefox. SOOOOOOO disappointing!, (plus, of course, the HTML screen layout while composing e-mail in gmail).

Therre is some truth in there, never had so much problems with an Opera preview like with this one.

Same here. Still using 7.54u2.

In Linux, I had to switch back. In Windows, it is workable.

I second that.

Opera TP1 had a lot of bugs to the point were it was unworkable.
I've installed it only to remove it 10 mins later, it had never happened with
any previous version.

My guess, without any inside, is that there was a lot of adding/rewriting of
the code and things broke down (things they used to work).

No reason to emulate the practices M$ is using, releasing before it's ready
even as a TP. Just fix the bugs, bring it into a par with 8.51 then release
it for testing.

No one is hunting Opera, it's to fast to catch anyway

Fill it feature a improved UI also?

Mmh, nice bug - my avatar is everywhere. You are being assimilated

Fine, where is the "attached" screenshot in my previous message?

Jeez, what part of this don't you understand?

Pre·view:
- of an experimental nature
- distributed to a limited audience, i.e. forums, newsgroups, and IRC
- should never be installed over a final release
- not to be used as a substitute for a final release

Aren't previews/betas/finals normally released on Tuesdays?

IT'S A RUMOUR

Hm... Ive used Opera 9tp1 ever since it was released. Not one single problem. Ive had far more problems and bugs with some stable versions than with this one.

Guess im just lucky ^_^

well I dont know what *%&^%$^%$ you've got on your machines, unpatched win98 is working ok, even on gmail...
and no I *never* install 'over the top' - recipe for disaster...

and linux - no probs, installs better and easier than any other software I have tried!! is it just me thats lucky, or just not using strange configurations???

Repeatedly installed over the top, old OS (NT4), old PC, setup and mail originally copied from a backup of Opera 7 or something on a different PC (just hand-changed all the paths in the INIs)...

Never any problems with 9p1 at all(*). In fact, I think it's the most stable version on this system since I first installed here eighteen months ago!

(*) Only a couple of times feeds needed re-indexing, but this is nothing compared to O8.


I have always over-installed, since a) I've never had problems, and b) as a beta-tester I actually feel that *someone* should do it (and also c) unless it really deletes my mail or something I'm okay with fixing things myself)! But I'm not stupid - I've made backups when the changelog looked sufficiently ... interesting (like for this preview).

Which is what I did, too!

It's not a good idea to install a "beta" over top of any release or even more important, a final release over a "beta". Problems crop up that are not easily explained, this is because no test release from Opera is complete. There are always holes in it, various bugs and incomplete routines as well as not being thoroughly tested for incompatibilities when upgraded.

There was a rash of users with odd problems after 8.02 came out, they had upgraded their "beta" versions of 7.xx and even though 8.00 gave them no apparent problems, the problems did catch up with them.

I thought most new releases came out on Fridays or the day before a holiday. That way the Devs could take a couple days off to party.

-- and no two systems, even with same software, hardware, etc, are ever *identical* - there are a lot more variables - surfing habits/style, ISP and line quality in your particular area(including other users/congestion/ISP problems), some CD that put something on the PC (unknown to you), a random power glitch, etc, etc, etc...... I have had a few strange ones!!

It just takes time, it will happen when you *dont* backup for some reason...

Add me to the list of the impatient. It's the "copy/line break" bug that kills Opera 9TP1 for me.

All I ask for is a hotfix......
