Opera Desktop Team

Approaching 9.2

By feldgendler. Friday, 30. March 2007, 15:24:54

Привет всем нашим пользователям! Сегодня моя очередь объявлять еженедельный выпуск, поэтому я напишу по-русски. Спасибо пользователям из России за поддержку! Теперь у вас есть свой человек в Desktop Team. :-)

Самое важное в новом выпуске — исправления, касающиеся Flash 9 под Linux. Теперь видео с YouTube можно смотреть в полноэкранном режиме! (Ещё можно закрывать надоедливую Flash-рекламу.)

Другие изменения

Добавлен автоматический поиск из адресной строки при вводе более одного слова;
Оформление Speed Dial оптимизировано по скорости;
В запросах BitTorrent появилась поддержка необязательного «ключа», это означает, что больше торрентов будут работать;
Исправлены проблемы с прозрачными областями в некоторых виджетах под UNIX;
Появились пакеты .6 для архитектуры ppc-linux, которые будут (ну, должны) работать на PS3, если вы поставили туда Linux!

Now in English…

Hello to all our users! Today it's my turn to announce the weekly build, so why don't I post in Russian? Thanks to the Russian users for your support. Now you have an insider in Desktop Team! :-)

The most important is that we've fixed some issues with Flash 9 on Linux. This means that you can now watch YouTube video fullscreen! (And close annyoing Flash ads.)

Other changes

Added support for automatic search from address bar when entering more than one word;
Some speed optimizations in the Speed Dial skin;
Added support for the optional “key” in BitTorrent requests, should make more torrent downloads work;
Fixed issue with transparent areas in some widgets on UNIX;
we have now ppc-linux .6 packages: that means that they work (okay, should work) on your PS3! — if you installed Linux on it.

Thanks Alexey, I have not even believed my eyes at first that i was reading in russian on the desktopteam blog.

What happened to solaris/sparc build, we did not have any for a while.

hurug # 30. March 2007, 16:25

Thanks for the good work.

DimiON # 30. March 2007, 16:26

Yeah, they went missing in the beta as well, unfortunately - due to some issues we had in the build system. But things are fixed now - and you'll most certainly get sparc-solaris in the final. Until then, please be patient

dogans # 30. March 2007, 16:26

In sovjet russia, opera loves you!

FataL # 30. March 2007, 16:31

Ура, на русском! Спасибо, Алексей!
Hurray, in Russian! Thanks, Alexey!

Added support for automatic search from address bar when entering more than one word

It's must have! Thanks a lot!

Даёшь выпуск 9.20!

Seems I spoke too early

Please check, sparc-solaris builds should be there within minutes

Soleen # 30. March 2007, 16:40

csant,
Wonderful! I will enjoy the rest of my work day with this new build.

y0r1c # 30. March 2007, 16:46

класс, наши люди есть везде :)

wow, we have our own desktopteam member

ПС: отдельно порадовала типографика, кавычки, тире… супер :)

LNX-FX # 30. March 2007, 16:47

I can't watch YouTube videos on Linux. I can only see "Loading..." even if video is fully loaded. I have Flash 9.0.31 installed.

(process:16706): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:16706): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
Adobe FlashPlayer: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying to call gtk_init(0,0);

csant # 30. March 2007, 16:49

LNX-FX,

those messages are printed by the Flash Player. Do you have a problem with *all* movies, or just with some? Could you please post a link to one that fails to play?

calande # 30. March 2007, 16:51

Opera is red, like the former USSR!

Spacibo.

yuku # 30. March 2007, 16:55

"Added support for automatic search from address bar when entering more than one word"

Finally!

I have been tired seeing error messages like

"Error! Invalid URL
The URL http://one plus one is not two contains characters that are not valid in the location they are found."

when I forget to place "g " in front of them.

FataL # 30. March 2007, 17:01

отдельно порадовала типографика, кавычки, тире… супер

Да, отлично! Я тоже это заметил. И англицизмов нету...

Good typography in this post by Alexey!

calande # 30. March 2007, 17:02

Fixed issue with transparent areas in some widgets on UNIX;

It doesn't seem to have been fixed:

Thank you, I've been waiting for this for a long time.

SoulOfDoinel # 30. March 2007, 17:04

Only an half word:
THX

alexs # 30. March 2007, 17:05

Added support for automatic search from address bar when entering more than one word;

can disable this in opera:config?

FataL # 30. March 2007, 17:07

can disable this in opera:config?

Any reason why?

andresruiz # 30. March 2007, 17:09

Not much for Windows or Mac users...but a good Changelog

borg # 30. March 2007, 17:11

@alexs: No, but you can enable it for single words too, if you set these preferences:

opera:config#Network|EnableHostNameWebLookup
opera:config#Network|HostNameWebLookupAddress

The second one should contain a string compatible with the search URLs used in search.ini and available in the search preferences.

kloned # 30. March 2007, 17:13

Просто класс! Теперь можно будет формулировать баги и на русском языке! ;] А то некоторые из них слишком изощренные для простого английского ;]

gilb # 30. March 2007, 17:16

Merci!!

consalt # 30. March 2007, 17:17

>Спасибо пользователям из России за поддержку!

России, России... Тут и из Беларуси народ есть! Я, например!

Спасибо за исправление ошибки со значением масшаба страницы!!!

Translate:

>Thanks to the Russian users for your support!

From Russia, from Russia... A lot of users from Belarus are there! I am!

Thanks for fixing bug of value of page zoom!!!

kyleabaker # 30. March 2007, 17:17

Fantastic! Flash on Linux is one thing that had been making my Opera experience on Linux bad for a long time. No more..or not as much! Thanks.

*Added support for automatic search from address bar when entering more than one word;
*Some speed optimizations in the Speed Dial skin;
*Added support for the optional “key” in BitTorrent requests, should make more torrent downloads work;
*Fixed issue with transparent areas in some widgets on UNIX;

Those are some of the best items in the changelog that I've seen in a really long time! Builtin torrent support was in desperate need of work.

The transparent areas fix for UNIX will also make widgets *standable* again on my machine. That was driving me crazy, lol. And lastly (well thanks for speeding up speed dial a bit), but lastly...the automatic search change is great! I got so tired of forgetting to throw in the "keyword"..then losing all of the search phrase I had just typed. Very much needed, thanks!

LNX-FX # 30. March 2007, 17:18

I tried random videos. No video worked. Only "Loading..." appeared.

FataL # 30. March 2007, 17:20

The only search feature that I would want to see in Opera is Quick Search Suggest for search engines that support it (Google, Yahoo!, Ask): just like in Firefox, or like in one of test builds of Opera 8 (or it was 7 -- I don't remember)

oao-mazd # 30. March 2007, 17:21

Приятно, черт побери! )))

profiT # 30. March 2007, 17:41

Man, i love automatic search in address bar... Good bye, lng-hacks!

FataL # 30. March 2007, 17:54

Related to search.
Seems that I can't assign keyboard shortcut for Hotclick Search.
Some research:

it worked fine in Opera 8
it stopped showing assigned shortcut in context menu in Opera 9 TP1, but shortcut itself worked
it stopped working at all somewhere between builds
8432 (beta) and 8501 (release)

f ctrl alt
Hotclick search, 1

Is it known?
I found related thread in forums, but there was no complains about not working shortcuts.

DjiXas # 30. March 2007, 18:05

Why so poor graphics? Thought we already went away from win 95 looking software installs...

Wajo357 # 30. March 2007, 18:05

My google calendar section on my google homepage (google.com/ig) is not loading in this build.

tsarhan # 30. March 2007, 18:09

Супер.
От такого даже мега-идея появилась:
У нас есть страница с 5-15 ссылками, например, фотографии на Panoramio.com. И хочется их все открыть одновременно, а не щелкать на каждой.

Было бы Супер, если бы у нас была бы возможность выделить ссылки и нажать левой кнопкой мыши и сразу открыть все эти ссылки, как это делается в Windows, например, при просмотре фотографий.

А типографика - это наверное Типограф

So. English.
It's great! I have an idea:
We have a page with 5-15 links, for example, photos on Panoramio.com. And I wouldlike to open them at the same time, not to click on each-other link.

It was great if we could select all links what we need and click left-side button on mouse and open them, like we can do it in Windows.

And what about typography, so I think this is smb.'s handwork of Типограф.

rkm # 30. March 2007, 18:13

@tsarhan: You can already do this by using the links panel.

tsarhan # 30. March 2007, 18:16

@rkm

Yeah, your right, but it not so usefull as I suggest.

rasz # 30. March 2007, 18:16

NO WAI!

where do I sent money???????

FataL # 30. March 2007, 18:19

You can already do this by using the links panel.

But it is not so useful because it's a hidden feature and not so interactive...
So, yes, it would be great! Please post it in Wishlist Forum.

dodd # 30. March 2007, 18:28

Finally some love for Unix version.

But Flash still goes blank here on Linux.

I cant see any transparency fixes either.

mgillespie # 30. March 2007, 18:31

Fantastic, just installed this weeks build on my PS3, and it works great...

PS3 is a awesome platform for Opera. It's a shame you have to boot Linux to get Opera, I really wish Sony would ditch the below-par NetFront browser, and simply licence Opera to run on PS3....
