10.10 goes final

,

No new 10.10 snapshots today, the final version is ready! :hat:

We'd like to thank everyone for testing the snapshots, and thereby helping to iron out the last issues. The latest snapshot (windows build 1893) is the final release. So if your running that build you do not need to upgrade.

Are you using Opera 10.10 with Unite? Please help us to spread the word about the new release!

Stay tuned for 10.2 alpha snapshots! :-)

Something for the weekend?

, , ,

Isn't it nice getting builds? So nice in fact we thought you might want one for the weekend! :wink:

The main fix here is to DSK-271546 (After signing up for a new account, Opera isn't automatically logged in after restart), so please make sure this is working for you.

Thanks in advance for the testing!

Unite fixes and Opera Link

We're continuing our polishing of Opera 10.10, so here's a new build with some important fixes.

Opera Link should be working without having to log in every time you start Opera. We have also fixed a crash in the Unite setup wizard, and fixed a bug where the Unite password is remembered even if "remember password" is unchecked.

The default message in Opera Mail is now translated again.

Faster photo sharing, and more

Here's another Unite build for you to test.

This time we have worked on making image generation in the Photo Sharing application faster (DSK-271038), and as you can see there are a few other tweaks as well. Give it a spin, and let us know if you find any regressions since the previous build.

RC 3

, ,

At the Opera HQ we are feverishly working to fix all bad issues! The new RC build fixes a few more issues with not restarting Unite properly. Also, it addresses some more Unite problems and includes performance improvements. For Linux users, there are some fixes for the systray! As usual, we appreciate any reports about regressions! Happy testing!

Sunday build

Hey
Several people have mentioned that when restarting Opera the Unite applications do not restart. We have a possible fix.. So please take it for a spin and see if it caused any regressions.

A lucky build?

Do you feel lucky? Well do you, Opera user?

This lucky build was born on Friday 13th! As luck would have it, it became an RC for Opera 10.10. That means that you are lucky enough to get to report any critical bugs, regressions, and so on, before we release it.

This no longer installs in the snapshot/beta path, so watch out for that or you could quickly run out of luck. (The default startup page still says beta, and that is because as far as the rest of the world is concerned, the latest official version of 10.10 is a beta.)

Good luck!

WARNING: This is a Friday 13th RC. It no longer installs in a snapshot/beta folder. It contains the latest changes, but should be stable enough for release. But as an RC, it could be unlucky enough to be pulled if any serious issues are found.

Key fixes and a focus on stability

, , , ...

Time for another snapshot and also time for another team member to announce it!

Since I'm involved in UNIX/Linux testing it seems appropriate that I should be the one to announce a snapshot with some nice UNIX fixes. Firstly it seems we got around the Qt 4.5.3+ 100% CPU issue. Also a fix for freezes during DST-to-normal time switch. Finally, we noticed that a few of you were having problems getting Opera to pickup your default Qt style. If you are one of those users try running Opera with the new '-systemstyle' argument.

Of course it is not just Linux specific fixes. There are several Windows stability improvements, crash fixes, Unite fixes, tweaks to improve old features (e.g. check out the list of search engines in doubleclick menu.) ... But I won't list them all here, scroll down to the change log for the full details. :wink:

Oh, and before I go remember the Unite Apps competition!

WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

We want Unite applications, you want stuff (right?)

, , , ...

This is a teaser for a Unite Apps competition we have recently started.
Prizes will be awarded each week to the developer with the best application. The winner will be determined by a team of Opera employees. Up for grabs are gift certificates to online retailers equal the value of a Nintendo Wii or a brand new mobile phone!

If you want to enter the competition, you don't need to do anything special, just submit the application to unite.opera.com. Read more about it here.

Post-seminar Unite build

Here's another Unite build for testing.

As you can see, the changelog isn't very big this time around. This is partially due to a seminar we attended last week, but a lot of the desktop resources have been moved to the next "major" version of Opera as well. We are not quite ready to share any details about this yet, but stay tuned.

I won't go into too much detail about the seminar either, but among the subjects that were covered were some plans for the next couple of major versions of the desktop browser, and some pretty awesome news for Opera Mobile and Opera Mini users. You will have to visit the Opera Mobile and Opera Mini blogs for more on that, though, when the time comes.

Work on Unite in 10.10 will continue, so expect more Unite builds in the near future.

Unix users will be happy to know that this build should finally work with Qt 4.5.3+. :clown:
