Thank you!

Great feedback here over the last few weeks has helped us a lot and we're happy to see 9.2 Beta going live on labs.opera.com party

In other good news, Adobe has announced Creative Suite 3 where Opera is used by several components as a rendering engine.

Hmmm... download link seems to redirect me to te 9.10. Looking for Linux version...

Is it the same as last Fridays?

Jeldert Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:00:14 PM

Nodata, if you click the UNIX build 617 link on top of this page it will download the latest version (9.20 Beta 1).

Antipatternnodata Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:01:19 PM

What a shame... Thank you!

Also, a big thanx goes to the developers!

Ar1Pear1pe Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:02:28 PM

Thank you again. Works beautifully!

rxbbx Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:05:43 PM

Thnx.. waiting for the Final smile

StormbringerStoB Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:14:29 PM

What's the build number?

berend ytsmaytsmabeer Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:20:07 PM

@StoB: build 8762,
The same as the last weekly

David Shamloo EkbladdAEk Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:33:49 PM

@borg: Thank you (the entire Opera team)! wink

Thaks a lot for the fix of the cross site scripting vulnérability smile

Ahui886 Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:07:13 PM

good news!
thanks!

Tamil Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:14:18 PM

Thanks.

Serpher Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:17:36 PM

Upi! New Opera! Thx wink

Charlie ClarkMuzzlehatch Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:24:33 PM

Great stuff!

When do we get the one with the bug-fixes to the mail client? Love speed dial, Opera and even M2 but can't wait for the rewrite. Having to manually insert blank lines on quoted text is a real drag!

Charlescalande Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:37:19 PM

Cool deal! smile

The preview of my bookmarks when I open a new tab is perfect! Thanks a lot!

How long will it take before other browsers copy this functionality?

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:42:39 PM

Zajec, one opera you are running is a static, and the other one a shared build? And I guess the "awful" one is the static? smile

grogge Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:55:17 PM

Huh?!? Beta already? That was (too) fast.

Still no usable search engine manager... sad

cybcode Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:56:36 PM

After opening/closing tabs a few times, Opera becomes EXTREMELY sluggish: I need to wait about 500ms until a tab gets focused (after clicking it). I need to wait for the mail client to focus too, and for mail messages to open. (I didn't have to wait in 9.1.)

The sluggishness persists until I restart Opera. It seems that the more I open/close tabs, the slower Opera gets.

Hiding Speed Dial doesn't help.

I had to revert back to 9.1 because this problem renders 9.2 completely unusable for me.

I use Ubuntu 6.10. I installed the relevant .DEB package. My machine is very fast (Core 2 Duo).

Rafał MiłeckiZajec Wednesday, March 28, 2007 2:58:00 PM

@csant ahh, get it now :-) thanks

Soul Of DoinelSoulOfDoinel Wednesday, March 28, 2007 3:02:27 PM

Is the same of 23 March 2007 ?
When I install ask me to repair not to reinstall the new version, and the build number is the same.

kiaM Wednesday, March 28, 2007 3:15:13 PM

Thanks, nice Beta. Speed dial is awesome!

Twilo Wednesday, March 28, 2007 3:19:13 PM

thanks for this beta :-)

Andrew G.consalt Wednesday, March 28, 2007 3:22:36 PM

I'm confused. The page zoom tool doesn't work properly at _Beta_ version. Such little bug doesn't fixed at Beta version?!!! IMHO, it's terrible! sad

Haavardhaavard Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:01:10 PM

Yes, it's a beta version. That means that there will be lots of bugs.

RicardoRicardoB Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:13:02 PM

Missing Portuguese (Brazil) language. Installation and localization file.

Buttons on webpages are not being pressed/released (there is some problem with those button's states animation). They are working normally for their functions however.

rogerpe Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:23:46 PM

www.xbox.com is totally broken

João EirasxErath Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:34:59 PM

www.xbox.com is totally broken


No it's not. Id as IE or FF.

FataL Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:35:02 PM

Adobe has announced Creative Suite 3 where Opera is used by several components as a rendering engine.

What version of Opera engine they used: 8 or 9?

Kc4 the Greatklingoncowboy4 Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:36:51 PM

Nice yes

Johan Borgborg Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:45:35 PM

@FataL: 9

Jareknoizz Wednesday, March 28, 2007 5:09:08 PM

Is there a place where I can learn a bit more about the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 components' that use Opera?

Ken45140 Wednesday, March 28, 2007 5:15:33 PM

Speed dial is an interesting concept. I like the idea of Ctrl-# to jump to really well used sites. However, without the option to automatically open in a new tab (Target = blank), it is a non starter for me. Can this be considered for an upgrade?
Thanks.

illiad Wednesday, March 28, 2007 5:22:27 PM

consalt: you mean this bug?? (weekly 8746 - 8762 sad )
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/829708?startidx=100#comment2657669

Andrew G.consalt Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:11:32 PM

illiad: Yes, this one.

Cyro Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:27:04 PM

About the beta changelog. What does "Images with broken exif data now display" mean?

illiad Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:40:12 PM

consalt: lets hope they fix it before final! - would you wear a badly-fitting shirt to see the queen??

'exif data' is special data stored in the picture, eg shutter speed, exposure, etc... and opera uses it *own* process to display graphics..

Chr. Bohr-Hallingcbh Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:49:53 PM

@Cyro: guess there has been a bug regarding img info, http://www.exif.org/

(to see exif-info: right click on an image and select 'image properties'. Example image at http://www.ruc.dk/dat/undervisning/foraar2007/ )

Rijk Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:51:12 PM

@Cyro: apparently there was a bug reported on that.

@Ken45140: you could press Ctrl+T first.

@rogerpe: to help us here, please try to give more details. Like, did that site work in previous versions?

@RicardoB: no worry, pt-BR will be back in time for final. Not sure what button problem you have...

@consalt: page zoom is working fine, but the zoom widget often shows the wrong value.

@SoulOfDoinel: yes, this is the same build as the last weekly.

@cybcode: might this be related to the shared memory changes for Linux? Did you try the earlier weekly builds?

@Charlie_X: see http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/759403 for our roadmap.

rogerpe Wednesday, March 28, 2007 7:28:40 PM

Rijk: didn't work with the previous desktopteam build. I uploaded the html I got here: http://up.servut.us/dl/954

vladaa Wednesday, March 28, 2007 7:30:20 PM

I found some mostly small bugs in Opera. Please look at the current list:

http://www.profiserver.cz/opera/operabugs.htm

illiad Wednesday, March 28, 2007 7:32:21 PM

Rijk: my bugreport *did* state that zoom 'works fine', but the indicator does not... you have to move the mouse to the web page, then it will 'go back' to '100%' (while the page is obviously 200%.... )

- and peeps! bigsmile dont just tell us, report it properly!!

rogerpe Wednesday, March 28, 2007 7:37:48 PM

Great list, vladaa

AlexandrZybex Wednesday, March 28, 2007 7:40:36 PM

What about classic installer?

vladaa Wednesday, March 28, 2007 7:45:25 PM

@rogerpe: Thank you. I hope someone from Opera developers will take a look at it.

predatorian Wednesday, March 28, 2007 7:49:32 PM

Works great except for the lack of brazilian portuguese under languages.

FataL Wednesday, March 28, 2007 8:04:14 PM

@vladaa: nice list of bugs indeed! up
Especially I like "blackout" one (bug #247193). bigsmile
Your bug #245113 seems very similar to this one.

illiad Wednesday, March 28, 2007 8:27:34 PM

Zybex: yes, I'm using it! (Beta is *identical* to 8762 weekly)
