Opera Next 1372 - Smile!

Opera Next 1372 - Smile!

Surprised no one has posted it yet ...

Yesterday's snapshot adds camera support to Opera 12.00. We had a Labs snapshot back in October with camera support (and also native pages, no word on that one yet), and actually Opera Mobile 12 has camera support, so it's finally making its way into a mainstream desktop build.

Not that we don't have a slew of bugfixes as well, you can read the changelog on the Desktop Team's blog.

Looks like I'll have to sit this one out, I have some really weird visual effects on the screen ...



If you can't tell it, that's the portal page.

same as all the previous 64 bit builds for me. Crashes on mail checking, crashes on bookmark import and no i cant open it without it crashing.

sticking with 1328 till they sort this out.

Another bad release from my point of view, while others may be happy to find their reported issues have been fixed.

Too slow on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit + SP1, freezing almost every time on any site. Minimizing the opera window and then restoring it messes the rendering totally. After that I have to kill the browser. The constant freezing make the browser totally useless, how do I test the fixed bugs

It hurts to see your favorite browser dying a slow death.

i thinked best version was:

1328 is stable & no freezings?

Looks like a severe HWA-related issue, seems like a lot more work and testing are needed before that can be called a feature.

POP hangs up trying to download messages, and also crashes, but I got IMAP to work just fine.

Most definitely. It does work if I use Notepad to edit operaprefs.ini and disable HWA ... (I'm posting from it now)

I just started using 12.00 1360 a few days ago.
It hung with 50% CPU utilization on the UPS.com store locator function. Had to kill browser. Lost lots of tabs. There is no way I will install another release until this bug is fixed.

Yes, I know it is beta (maybe alpha) but it is way too long with the hang and crash stuff.
For it to hang on a world wide company site like UPS.com means that there is not even the beginning of adequate testing.

This has been a problem with all Opera 12.00 release and most Opera 11 releases.
Please stop adding cameras and other goodies until you fix the hang and crash problems.
Many of us just want to do our email, online banking, browsing, etc.

If there is any way I can help you to fix this problem please let me know.
Must I again go back to Opera 9.64? Or to Firefox?

Thanks

How come Build 1360 was really good at the Microsoft Fish Bowl test, but this build is terrible at it? I enabled WebGL and Hardware acceleration. Clearly I'm missing something important.

I also agree with the guy above, generally, that fixing bugs is more important than adding features which very few people will use. Many software authors take this approach which I think is self-destructive.

Confirmed on 1380, I needed to disable HWA by manual editing of operaprefs.ini.

I have to agree with you, please don't release any more updates until the crashing is fixed.

I wonder who wants HWA'ed browser in the year 2012, when most people have at least 4 core CPUs in their computers.
If it's so awesome how could we live without this awesome feature for 20 years?

There's a first time for everything.
Speaking of HWA, a modern GPU can be far more efficient in some calculations than a CPU (even a quad core), plus why does the GPU has to be idle while the CPU does all the work?
