This week's weekly addresses some of the bigger issues still open on Opera for Linux:
Yes, you saw that right: we fixed some of the major issues with Flash 9 in Opera on Linux (there is still more to do): finally you can view YouTube videos in fullscreen, close annoying Flash ads, etc…
And we finally are happy to ship gcc4 ppc-linux builds: this means you can run them out-of-the-box on your latest PPC Ubuntu, or run them on your PS3 - after installing Linux on it! Go try it!
- we've fixed some issues with Flash 9 on Linux. This means that you can now watch YouTube video fullscreen! (And close annyoing Flash ads.)
- Fixed issue with transparent areas in some widgets on UNIX;
- we have now ppc-linux .6 packages: that means that they work (okay, should work) on your PS3! — if you installed Linux on it.

Who would want to?
The main problem with Flash/YouTube on Linux and Opera is crashing opera-plugin-wrapper which causes Flash content to disappear.
What idiot on earth keeps plugins turned on on such pages?
