Ready for another build? We've fixed a few crash bugs, and Carakan has been updated to made sure Acid3 shows 100/100. Middle-click scrolling should also be working.
If you are having problems with Java, please check that the Java plugin is listed in opera:plugins, and that you are using Java 1.6 (not 1.4 or 1.5).

snapshot opera
We're still working hard on getting a beta version of Opera 10.50 ready for Windows. Here is the latest snapshot with some nice bug fixes. This includes the return of Java.
Opera is now using the Java Plug-in instead of native Java.
If you encounter reproducible crashers, please report a bug:
https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/
Please remember to enter as much information as possible about the crash in the crashlog dialog if you encounter a crash.

We're not there quite yet, but we are close to releasing the official beta version of Opera 10.50 for Windows.
Please focus mostly on potential showstoppers. If there are any bugs that you believe are important enough to block a beta release, let us know. Take a look at the list of known issues first, though.
There likely will be Mac and Unix snapshots next week, but right now we're working overtime to get Windows ready for beta.
Please keep your comments relevant to the Windows version this time around.

snapshot, build, Opera
Hey
As you have noticed we are fixing tons of bugs, so now a new build for you guys to test.
One new thing to notice is the new zoom control (only on win yet, but will come on other platforms soon)
Don't forget to report bugs in the
bug wizard.. Look out for regressions since 10.1 those are highest priority!
Highlights
- Facebook is working again
- A new view button to the right on the status bar adds a zoom slider (Windows-only for now)
- Work on tab management (MDI)
- Skin fixes, such as a glow on the personal bar to make the text readable (Windows 7/Vista)
- Stability fixes

10.50
This spring we are doing everything a bit different. Firstly we have staffed up our desktop engineering team with a large number of great engineers. This means we are moving faster than ever before. Secondly, as you know, we are undertaking some massive changes to the platform integration that will give significant improvements for all three desktop platforms. The current estimates for the remaining work for Opera 10.50, however, indicates that we will reach final product quality earlier on Windows than on the other platforms. As such, we have decided to not let Windows users wait for the other platforms to catch up, and rather push it out earlier than the rest. You will notice this in the near future as we will reach the beta milestone for Windows, while Mac and Linux will reach beta around the time Opera 10.50 reaches final on Windows. When the Windows version hits final we will focus our attention on bringing the other platforms to the same quality as soon as possible. We also expect this to be an exception from how we work, meaning we will once again ship final versions for all platforms at the same time in the future.
Return of the penguin and Widgets for Desktop
This snapshot contains a new core update with a large number of fixes for regressions. Many features in 10.50 are more stable or work again like in 10.10. Widgets will also run as standalone applications again, as previewed in 10.20 alpha. And finally, Linux builds are back!
Other highlights:
- Upgraded Carakan engine
- Search box enhancements
- Bookmark fixes
- Improved stability
- Restructuring of the Opera menu
- Return of UNIX builds

stabilization, bugfixes, crashes
With a third snapshot this week, you might have figured that we're very busy stabilizing and improving 10.5. Also this snapshot includes a major update of Presto with over a hundred of bug fixes and improvements. And to make it even better we expect to release more new milestones next week that will fix most of the regressions in 10.5.
Who knows, there might be a new feature next week too :-)

The Mac team has made a lot of progress with the Cocoa migration, and here is the snapshot release (and a
screenshot) to prove it! It should be a much smoother ride now….

unkind, performance, 10.5, crash
...
Now that the New Year has really started and the Opera employees are flooding back to the office (not to escape their families I might add, but rather because Opera is so much fun!), the hard work begins on making Evenes more functional, and ... umm ... less buggy!
