I should add (though all the regular forum people know this already) - it isn't official until it's announced. There's a chance that someone could find a bug, and they have to redo it.

Having said that, I got it from

I really thought people would have been more crazy about this release

people will be crazy about this release. Having played with all the betas and previews, I'm finding it hard to drum up any excitement over the final. It's great and all, it meats all of my expectations, but this has been a long time coming. But that's just me, I get excited over previews and betas much more than final releases.

Aye. I actually have a really hard time explaining to people what the new stuff since 7.5 is.. hehe. haven't used 7.5 since last summer.

I really thought people would have been more crazy about this release

Well, the thread in the beta forum was the first one though..

Does anybody know...
Is Opera 8 a free upgrade where we can use our rego code from 7.54?
Or will we have to pay for this one.
Thanks..

Well, it didn't ask me for a new reg code anyway (Linux).

Its a free upgrade.

Here's the answer;

Thanks for the quick replies..
That is excellent news and as usual a generous gesture by Opera.
I hope it lives up to everybodies expectations.
As you can see I've been using Opera for a good while now and never looked back.

I expect Sue will let us all know on the mailing list soon enough..
(although I haven't seen a post from her in ages.. I hope she's still with us?)
Good Luck and happy browsing to everyone!

p.s.
Being that it's a final.. can we install it over 7.54 so our mail stays in the correct place
e.g. Sent mail in Sent folder??

Judging by the downloads so far, "crazy" is an understatement in that case

G/day Haavard.. I'm still with you all.. mellow as ever..
Greetings from Australia...
Long time no see...

Woohoo, way to go Opera, 8 rocks already

How do I install the voice option?

I actully took 3-4 FTP servers (spread over the world) and posted them on Neowin and tons of forums so that ftp.opera.com could survive.


Whats the download count?

Hrm, where is the little button though?

Still busy.. Opera's public FTP must be screaming from all the hammering

from what i can tell, opera 8 is just completely wonderful. congratulations and thank you to everyone at opera! and what haavard said is just great news. i sure hope opera will get the recognition it deserves. and you have done it on your own terms...well done and congratulations once again.

Opera is Amazing, no doubt.

I first found out about it on www.searchlores.org ,it had
a good comparisson and reasons on why it was superior for
the seeker.

It will slow down in a while, try the mirrors, I used the one from Ireland, was pretty fast.

I had one ask me for a username/login. What was that about?

And when do we get one for Mac?

When will we get version 8.1? I want it now!

Click the "glasses" button first (on the right of the adress bar).

better than nothing.

Aha, there wasnt such a button, I added it. Thanks

That would've been too easy. I used the one in the mac forum too.

I couldn't get to the FTP site with the browser, but didn't have any problem using my FTP program, went right to it.

Finally!!! Opera, how many downloads until now?

And where's the so called "BIG feature" in final version?

Yep, I'm wondering what is the expected killer feature?

May I enquire how to remove the RSS news icon from the address bar?

That would be cool if they provided a compiled version in Brazilian Portuguese

There's only German, English, Dutch and Polish so far

You cant you probably should be able to though. Roll on Opera 8.1

Voice support is not available for Linux, correct?

Correct. IBM does not have ViaVoice libraries for Linux, last I heard.
