Hi all. Good to be back from vacation and being able to offer you guys a new weekly build. (No static UNIX builds for now, sorry).

Fixed issue with replacing personal search engines on startup
Support for downloading search engine icons on first start and upgrade
Fixed a fair number of cosmetic issues in speed dial
Added a limit on how many page thumbnails can be in memory, should result in lower memory usage over time
Added thumbnail tooltip to the windows panel list
Enabled plugins in feeds again
Fixed a heap of prominent and non-prominent crashers
Most translations should now be up to date, please test!

UNIX

Fixed deadkeys on GMail (finally!)
Fixed spellchecker on FreeBSD (look for the right libaspell...)
Improved protection against running two instances of Opera using the same settings directory

mac

Opera now supports the AppleAntiAliasingThreshold property which allows you to turn off antialiasing (font smoothing) separately from the system setting; a bug in not respecting the system setting has also been fixed

Known issue:

Rightclicking causes crashes in various contexts.

Download:
Windows MSI
Windows Classic
Macintosh
Unix

Speed Dial closer to completionfrom the UNIX front

Awesome! You used my thumbnail in windows panel idea! Thanks!
Special thanks to Mitchman for adding that code for that feature!

This is a welcome surprise

aleksanteri # 22. March 2007, 18:27

igorditerni # 22. March 2007, 18:32

Finally... crashes in the previous weekly were too much!

Ciao, Igor

P.S.: 10th

spiffytech # 22. March 2007, 18:32

Yay! I'm glat to not have a price shopping search bar all the time.

What are "deadkeys" in Gmail? Is that the bug where Gmail would lock up?

Junyor # 22. March 2007, 18:34

Don't forget that you can discuss this release in #weekly on irc://irc.opera.com.

arzafen # 22. March 2007, 18:35

Thanks for the new weekly.

what does "Added thumbnail tooltip to the windows panel list"
mean?

ytsmabeer # 22. March 2007, 18:42

Press F4 and choose the Window panel

jleedev # 22. March 2007, 18:48

Thanks! This build has no crashers at all.

toman # 22. March 2007, 18:49

@arzafen: You can turn on the windows panel from the panel tab in the Appearance dialog.

ColKilkenny # 22. March 2007, 18:51

Already mentioned this at #weekly.
MSI installer has encoding problems with finnish language.
Letters ä and ö (and perhaps å) look something like "Ã¤" or something like that.
Anyway, it's like those UTF-problems you see at web sometimes.

Mathiasfr # 22. March 2007, 18:54

Thanks a lot !

max17 # 22. March 2007, 18:55

this is FINAL !!! bugs = 0 !!!

mata_h # 22. March 2007, 19:01

There is 9.20 BETA in opera:about. Does it mean, that 9.20 final will be released soon? ;-)

joshas # 22. March 2007, 19:02

Thank you very much.

marsu # 22. March 2007, 19:06

Did you changed something on xml-parsing?
I can't reproduce my old xml-parsing problem so far.

I'm happy

Thanks

(hmmm, the thumbnail changed ...)

andersonshatch # 22. March 2007, 19:08

When I goto manage a feed, right clicking on the feeds address crashes this build for me (on Vista Ultimate)

Josh

kyleabaker # 22. March 2007, 19:08

@mata_h
Very observant! Good question as well.

tharos81 # 22. March 2007, 19:11

I don't have any thumbnail tooltips on windows vista...

olli # 22. March 2007, 19:12

andersonshatch: Confirmed did u file a bug report?

[edit]Never mind found one [Edit]

olli # 22. March 2007, 19:19

tharos81: Works here :-)

tharos81 # 22. March 2007, 19:22

hm, strange... after restarting opera it works. weird

OperaBuddy # 22. March 2007, 19:29

Opera crashes when right clicking mouse to paste text in the mail/ signature field. Tried both upgrade then clean install...crashes every time. (Windows XP Pro)

...actually right clicking in any text input field will crash it.

Filip007 # 22. March 2007, 19:34

Opera crash when i try to paste in speed dial address...?!?

When a new tab is created and speed dial show's up again...?!?

I don't like this speed dial i use my favorites in personal bar...hiden for now

Trash for closed tabs !?!
This is like history for opened web pages why don't use Open tabs list like alt+tab but selecting with mouse can be a lot better function...

sacharja # 22. March 2007, 19:34

There should be a note in the changelog, if the UI was changed. Because otherwise the user gets an error when he copies his old toolbar.ini or menu.ini "UserInit() failed => OK" (or something like). Happened here when the entry "Developer tools" was created.

GT500 # 22. March 2007, 19:41

I noticed an improvement in the Unix build that wasn't listed above the moment I launched it. The speed dial displays when Opera is launched with a blank page.

Many thanks for the build olli (and the rest of the team as well). You guys do good work.

zarkoh # 22. March 2007, 19:48

Haven't upgraded my hardware or connection, but 8758 is supersonic compared to the previous - 8746.

Gort # 22. March 2007, 19:53

Can't seem to edit Feeds. Go to Manage Feeds, select a feed, then press the the edit button: nothing happens.

Using the Linux .6 shared Opera on a Xubuntu Dapper machine.

Bug reported: bug-257391

spiffytech # 22. March 2007, 19:56

Hey! Ctrl-Z doesn't undo a tab close anymore. Now it's Ctrl-Alt-Z. Please change it back.

Crash also confirmed in Linux build 615 (bug#257390). You can add information about the crash (including a Inspector crash log) by sending an e-mail to bug-257390@bugs.opera.com

You can change it in your advanced preferences.

max17 # 22. March 2007, 20:04

olli, when 9.50 final ??

tsarhan # 22. March 2007, 20:14

Added a limit on how many page thumbnails can be in memory, should result in lower memory usage over time

So, how we can set this limit?

hermen2048 # 22. March 2007, 20:17

OperaBuddy,GT500: right-click in input field bug confirmed on Windows XP.

Dp0H # 22. March 2007, 20:18

Guys, how about google services? Too many rendering bugs to work normally (e.g. docs)

That would be a humanity crime to release the browser which can't work with google services

mattie # 22. March 2007, 20:19

"Added thumbnail tooltip to the windows panel list" : Yay!

zimmicz # 22. March 2007, 20:22

Wow, Speed Dial looks really good contrary to the previous build. But the thumbnail of Gmail is still pretty useless. Still see just "Loading" in the left top corner.

But anyway, good job.

Serpher # 22. March 2007, 20:30

Wow! The new Opera works better than previous. And this new polish translation... great!

"Fixed issue with replacing personal search engines on startup"
Finaly! I'm getted nervous when I had must seen those search engines which I hadn't choosed.
Keep it up!
Greetings

/Sorry for my bad English :/

Report the rendering bugs, and maybe they'll be fixed in browser.js (it's also possible that they are already trying to determine the problems, and add fixes to browser.js).

grogge # 22. March 2007, 20:56

irc.opera.com is down...

kyleabaker # 22. March 2007, 21:00

@grogge
I've been logged in to the irc chat solid since 2:30 or so. Still there.

grogge # 22. March 2007, 21:02

Hm, I can't login. I'm using this built's irc client. And I'm behind a NAT router... maybe that's the problem (allow incoming connections is disabled tho)? Opera's unblocked in the XP firewall.

After creating an account in Opera, I see "Fetching room list..." for a long time and then "0 rooms" in the Chat rooms window.

When I manually join the weekly channel I get this:

22:04Joining chat room...
22:05Disconnected from chat

And when I manually join the #weekly

channel, I get:

22:06Joining chat room...
USER Not enough parameters
Disconnected from chat

Do I have to register first?

EDIT: it seems so... when I add garbage to "real name", "email address" and organisation" I get the message:
"You do not have registered"...

nevermind then.

rmccabe916 # 22. March 2007, 21:03

Suggestion for Speed Dial:

How about having the thumbnails increase in size when you mouse over them so that you can see more detail in the page. It's kind of difficult to decifer the information/text in each right now.

(Sorry if this has already been suggested before.)

Pinnassog # 22. March 2007, 21:05

The Windows MSI installer seems to have international character problems. All ü ä ö " of the German text are displayed weird. It looks like when I had simple characters on my UTF-8 webpage.

groingo # 22. March 2007, 21:15

Good to have you back, took a peek at your vacation pictures...amazing stuff, looks a lot like Mayan ruins in South America the way the trees grow out and over the buildings!
