10.70
New week, and a new snapshot.
We have fixed the mail panel regression introduced with the previous snapshot, and improved on dialog modality on Mac. Mac users on older system will also find a very pleasant fix for ‘the slow typing issue.’ (Will be available in an upcoming Opera 10.62 update for the PowerPC crowd too.)
Known regressions
- DSK-311905 [Mac] (Text input can be slow with a large number of bookmarks)
- DSK-311564 [Windows] (The MSI installer may fail when upgrading an existing installation)
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.Download Note: If you are looking for a PowerPC build, please see
our previous blog post.

powerpc, next
We have some sad news for the 0.1% of our users who are still on the PowerPC architecture.
Starting with the Next version of Opera, as of the next snapshot release (due sometime later today), we are
discontinuing the PowerPC architecture on Mac and Linux. Opera 10.6x will be the last release with support for this architecture. This is unfortunate, but with third party vendor support dwindling away, we can no longer keep developing Opera for this architecture.
After ending support for PowerPC, we will be able to focus more on our high quality browser to make sure that it meets the need of the modern web browser user on the popular architectures.

10.70, bugfixing, stars, build numbers
A nice bunch of fixes coming right up!
We are now using the same build number on all platforms. This should make it easier to coordinate your bug reports and comments (hint, hint) as we’ll know for sure you are all talking about the same build.
Known regressions
- DSK-311417 (Crash on expanding items in the mail panel)
- DSK-307161 [Windows] (Mouse navigation buttons not working)
- DSK-311545 [Windows] (HTML5 video element doesn't work because of missing GStreamer files)
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.Reminder: Please keep the comments relevant to changes in this snapshot. File other issues in the
BTS and requests in the
wish-list forum.Download

It has been a while since we added something to
Opera Link, but with this "10.70" snapshot, we are introducing synchronization of the
content blocker. This makes it easy to build and maintain a list of blocked items anywhere you go.
This snapshot also has a few Linux/FreeBSD fixes.
Known issues-
Existing URLs might not be synchronized: If you already have a list of blocked URLs before enabling synchronization, you might have to add a URL to the block list through the content blocker for synchronization to start working after logging in to Opera Link

It's been a few days since the previous 10.70 snapshot, so we decided it was time to do another one.
If you look at the build numbers, you will notice that Mac and Unix use the same number. We are currently working on synchronizing build numbers across desktop platforms, and this is the first step. Windows will hopefully follow in the near future.
Note: There are no Linux PowerPC builds this time.

Continuing with 10.7 (or whatever it will eventually be called) and 10.62
The bugfixing continues ;-)

stability, rc, 10.61
Here is a further 10.61 release candidate. The changelog below reflects only changes since the last 10.61 release candidate (not since the last 10.70 build). So, let us know if you spot any regressions since 10.60 or 10.61 RC2.
And remember missing fixes/improvements from 10.70 are not regressions! 
Thanks in advance for all your help testing!

We have another Presto (Core) update for you. This update should improve performance in some cases, and it fixes a few crashes and freezes, some memory issues, and we have also removed the -o- prefix for CSS3 text-overflow. Widgets should be working again as well. There are some more quite important fixes in there, so take a look at the changelog for more details.
Let us know about any regression you may find compared to the previous 10.70 snapshot.
WARNING: This is a development snapshot of Opera. It is released for testing purposes, and there may be serious bugs and unfinished features.Download

Yesterday's "10.70" (not necessarily the final version number) snapshot contained a new batch of Presto fixes and even web standards improvements. Today we're focusing more on the desktop side again.
But before I continue, I just have a quick note regarding the addition of
object-fit and
object-position from the CSS3 Paged Media Module properties in the previous 10.70 snapshot: These are currently only supported with the -o- prefix, but we recommend that you also add them without the prefix as well if you choose to use them on a page. It should also be noted that the specification may not yet have been updated to reflect that
image-fit and
image-postion have been renamed.
Returning to this snapshot, there are quite a few crash fixes, and we have improved the Add Bookmark dialog when you try to add a site that's already in your bookmarks by letting you change the folder, and adding a message letting you know what's going on.
For more information about the fixes in this snapshot, please take a look at the changelog.
