Opera Desktop Team

Approaching 9.2

By Alexey Feldgendlerfeldgendler. Friday, March 30, 2007 3:24:54 PM

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.

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 smile

dogans Friday, March 30, 2007 4:26:59 PM

In sovjet russia, opera loves you!

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);

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Friday, March 30, 2007 4:49:29 PM

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?

Charlescalande Friday, March 30, 2007 4:51:31 PM

Opera is red, like the former USSR! smile
Spacibo.

yuku Friday, March 30, 2007 4:55:20 PM

"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 Friday, March 30, 2007 5:01:58 PM

отдельно порадовала типографика, кавычки, тире… супер smile

Да, отлично! Я тоже это заметил. И англицизмов нету... up
Good typography in this post by Alexey! up

Charlescalande Friday, March 30, 2007 5:02:48 PM

Fixed issue with transparent areas in some widgets on UNIX;



It doesn't seem to have been fixed:

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


can disable this in opera:config?

FataL Friday, March 30, 2007 5:07:54 PM

can disable this in opera:config?

Any reason why?

Andresandresruiz Friday, March 30, 2007 5:09:39 PM

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

Johan Borgborg Friday, March 30, 2007 5:11:04 PM

@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.

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

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

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!!!

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, March 30, 2007 5:17:57 PM

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. bigsmile 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 Friday, March 30, 2007 5:18:25 PM

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

FataL Friday, March 30, 2007 5:20:37 PM

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) wink

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

FataL Friday, March 30, 2007 5:54:03 PM

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.

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

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

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

NO WAI!

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

FataL Friday, March 30, 2007 6:19:54 PM

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.

Wojtek Kowalukdodd Friday, March 30, 2007 6:28:43 PM

Finally some love for Unix version. smile

But Flash still goes blank here on Linux. sad
I cant see any transparency fixes either.

Aux Friday, March 30, 2007 6:41:47 PM

Здорово! Малацы!

P.S. Эх, закончит моя девушка учёбу, я тоже к вам рвану (:

Ctrl-[1,9] shortcuts keep opening different sidebars here and not the sites I set up for speed dialing :|

Address bar searches for multiple words knocks number 4 off my list of UI improvements:
