Opera 10.5 for Sparc Solaris

Opera 10.5 for Sparc Solaris

When is Opera 10.5x to be availble for SPARC Solaris, and if it is presently available where can I find the download? I am asking this topic here as I am unable to create it in the Unix section. Trying to create a message there takes me in an endless loop always requesting I log in but at the same time indicating that I am logged in.

Be patient. The number of Solaris users is less than other OSs and does not get the priority. BTW, I'm using OSOL. The UNIX versions are being completely rewritten to eliminate the dependence on the Qt libraries. Links to the snapshots of the latest Linux/UNIX versions can be found on the Desktop Team blog http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

You're not the only one. I believe I saw a comment previously about there being possible uncertainty regarding the next Solaris version, but I hope that just meant that the Opera people are considering how best to approach the subject, not whether to support it at all...

Solaris 10/Sparc user here (Solaris @ work, Linux/Win7/MacOS @ home).

If it is any consolidation this was not taken lightly. We debated this for a very long time and indeed some builds of 10.5x have been produced internally (though not in a state that we could share them).

I would also stress that this is not what any of the UNIX team would have chosen in an ideal world. However, I do fully understand the why we had to go down this route.

Thanks for your support thus far. If you also run Windows, Mac, Linux or FreeBSD (or any of the many non desktop environments we support) I do hope you will continue to consider using our products.
