9.2 Ready for the world!

, ,

Finally! 9.2 is launched today. Thank you all for valuable help in making this happen!

9.2 is not only an important update with bug fixes and the new Speed Dial functionality, it's also a milestone in spreading Opera to new users around the world: Opera 9.2 for Windows ships with 31 languages :yes:

The latest addition is Macedonian, so if you know the language, feel free to post a small celebration message in the comments section :hat: Remember that we also have a number of forums where you can discuss Opera in your own language.

If you haven't done so already, please go to opera.com/download and get your brand new Opera.

all good things…Current work

Cool! Perfect timing - today is my birthday :smile:

underman 11. April 2007, 15:01

I love the speed dial function, very nice and smart idea!

Always nice to see new updates for my favorite browser, big thanks to the dev team =)
No gonna go check the web, see if things work better on some sites ^_^ :crossing fingers:

Rijk 11. April 2007, 15:15

Raistlin: please don't post the complete bug mail address. Just mentioning the number will prevent spam to that address.
The issue is know - you can work around it by not using multi-word nicknames.

Lali 11. April 2007, 15:16

Good works!
But i have some problem...I use(first) this opera and windows say:opera stopped.... Here is the errorfile:
http://bartosslajos.atw.hu/letoltes/download.php?fname=./opera/d1d7_appcompat.txt
What was the problem?

Nils S. Normann 11. April 2007, 15:18

I'm looking forward to the "Kestrel" weekly on friday. :smile:

Hulkur 11. April 2007, 15:24

Let the complaining begin :wink:

Widgets:
What version do i have ? Is it latest ?
Automatic update ?
Options (ex: gmail login info) ?

Compare to FF add-on manager.


What's that blue icon in address bar ? Something about widgets i presume ? Hints please ?

This orange one is something about RSS feeds. Which one ? Can i get an address ? Maybe even a title (if available) ?


Ok, enough for today, don't want to scare you :smile:


What are your plans for build 10k ? Big party ?

The Red O commands you ! DON'T try to resist !

Andres 11. April 2007, 15:30

I'll see, build 8771...why isn't here in the blog ? mmmm, so you have to go to www.opera.com and download the release.

Soul Of Doinel 11. April 2007, 15:33

Great.
Now I, but I think we, are waiting for "kestrel".
Great.

pavlac 11. April 2007, 15:40

OK, next version and still the same bug. Opera still wants to download files that not supose to.
Here's example
http://www.microsoft.com/poland/windows/ie/using/howto/oe/setup.mspx
Opera will open that address only if I download setup.mspx like Opera wants. That's makes me crazy!

Moises Lima 11. April 2007, 15:44

Thanks ! :yes:

szh 11. April 2007, 15:49

good work...that was fast :D

Johnny 11. April 2007, 15:54

From the changelog:


Manipulating content inside about:blank will now change the address of about:blank to match that of the manipulating page.



What do they mean by that?

Thanks for the release anyway!

song hye gyo 11. April 2007, 16:06

have an issue with the speed dial.. when you type just digit [1-9] in the address bar, the corresponding page stored as speed dial will load..
however, what if i've got a bookmark that's with the nickname of digits [1-9]?
the speed dial page will load but not the bookmark with nickname of that digit..
tiny chink..

Zoli 11. April 2007, 16:09

Hi!:smile:
I'm really a beginner in Linux (Ubuntu), but i've downloaded the debi package and there's an error message

Conflicts with the installed package : Opera ;

I can't install/refresh my Opera :frown:(

illiad 11. April 2007, 16:23

pavlac: you still using M$ %*#& ???

GeekK: I am sure I saw on the community forum, delicious showing how opera can use it's bookmarks...

Lali19871014: please send bug reports here..

and crash reports here..

mabdul 11. April 2007, 16:45

i have a biiig problem o.O

my hdd is full and when i download a file, opera only stops and give me the information that there is: an "error".

but what and why? after 15 minutes i found the reason.

can you change the message of the advance-status "error" to "full hdd" or something more useful in the download-manager ?!?

Oleg 11. April 2007, 16:45

Hooray!!!

Tracio 11. April 2007, 16:47

Conflicts with the installed package : Opera ;



Most likely you have opera-static installed and you are trying to install the shared package. Either uninstall your current opera-static and then install the new Opera 9.20 shared package or download the opera-static build and install it instead of the shared one.

Vasil Dinkov 11. April 2007, 17:04

"Macedonian language" hehe :D

zoligrg89,tsarhan:

If you want your wishes to be **found**
then read how to do it!!


click here to post a new wish!!! :D :D

Kenneth Crudup 11. April 2007, 17:19

PLEASE throw some additional comments as to the kind of build each download choice is on the Linux page; I know I need a GCC-3.2 shared version in a .bz2 format, but I have no idea if that's "Ubuntu Frozbatz" or "Gentoo Whodunit".

Kyle Baker 11. April 2007, 17:25

What's changed from 8767?


funny that so many of you are asking this question. first of all, there was another build squeezed in between 8767 and 8771...that would be build 8769. :wink: So first check what has changed between 8767 and 8769, then between 8769 and 8771. P:

@illiad
I don't think that zoligrg89 had a *wish* in his/her post.

@zoligrg89
Did you try removing the program first? That might solve your problem. Otherwise, if your previous version of Opera is working then just open up the irc chat and you can get some live help via the opera channel.

shared .5 :wink:

Kenneth Crudup 11. April 2007, 17:37

Actually, "shared .6" Claudio- but I guess what I mean is if you go to the main download page you only see Distro names with no clue as to which build format it actually is.

It's been so long since I've had to use the FTP site 'cause of the weeklies that I'd forgotten about it, but that's where I'd eventually got Build 638.

illiad 11. April 2007, 17:40

kyleabaker: well he could say. "I get the error : 'Conflicts with the installed package' and cannot start opera! please help!!"
- but then you go on to answer his wish......
.

and as for Hulkur, :hat: :jester: I want what he is drinking! :D

Kyle Baker 11. April 2007, 17:47

@illiad
lol...about all I can say. I'm here to help...not be mr. technicality. :wink: he/she reported a problem in a very appropriate place and I intend to aid them. So as you say, I..

go on to answer his wish......

illiad 11. April 2007, 17:56

no probs!! :D just pointing the direction for others...

Claudio Santambrogio 11. April 2007, 18:00

Nope :smile: .6 packages require libstdc++.so.6 which is built by gcc >=3.4, gcc <3.4 builds libstdc++.so.5 which is the lib the shared .5 build needs.

Soleen 11. April 2007, 18:04

Still segfaults without XSHM set to 0 :frown:

Жарко Христовски (Zarko Hristovski) 11. April 2007, 18:04

For Windows Vista: either fix the widgets 'Always below' option or rename it to 'Invisible'. p:
Don't know about others but i use only that mode of widgets display. Reference: Bug #259707.

sasdesas 11. April 2007, 18:12

Hi there.
In my case "the fastest" is more and more slower than FF.
Since the great 8.x things slowed down ... I see now js menus running significantly slower than FF let's say (see menus from nvidia site). I saw some interesting js speed test claiming that Opera's js implementation is actually the fastest there is ... but still ... what I feel is quite the opposite.
I do not have benchmarks of any kind to back up my claims. I only state what browsing feel like from subjective point of view.
Simple things like going to yahoo mail logging page (I don't mean entering the creepy beta) shows Opera spending significantly more time in negociating the secured session than FF is (and is not because site checking!)... about three times slower (negociating a lot at about 80 Bytes/s from +100 kB/s available is a bit strange ... ).
I used to be convinced that Opera has the best rendering engine of them all but I see sites like looneytunes (reported on this blog before) taking opera to the "crashing zone" and FF still holding fine.
And the settings/tunnings should not be to blame ... I use the default settings available in both browsers. If something is to be changed than it should have been already in defaults.
So, what is wrong with this picture?

Crossing fingers for first 64Bit linux release on friday

maybe something like pre pre alpha 9.5

:headbang:

Arthur Wilkinson 11. April 2007, 18:35

Nice to see an announcement. I was downloading this at 2:30AM EDT, and wondering why there was no official announcement yet... :lol:

Schneemann 11. April 2007, 18:50

You still haven't fixed the error message for emails :frown:
("Don't show error dialog when failed checking mail")

Of course you have limited time and can't take care of all wishes at once, but I consider this one issue more like reporting a bug than requesting a new feature.

For the rest of this version, I will have to explore...

Twilo 11. April 2007, 18:57

Hello

I need a 64bit version for debian etch :smile:

Vygantas 11. April 2007, 18:59

No offense, I do respect your work but I think it was released to public too fast... Now everyone will review it, found many bugs and nominate firefox as best browser again cause opera is buggy... Like last time with 9.1

Vygantas 11. April 2007, 19:01

Build 8769

Help > Check for updates

Opera is up to date... (yeah...)

Latest is Windows build 8771, isn't it?

Rafał Miłecki 11. April 2007, 19:02

@cbh: I can not. There are not language files for Opera 9.20 :-|

@borg: You are looking in it? You definitely have to slow down. I have only something about 5 wishes left, need time to think about next before you made my 5 ;-)

HanSheng 11. April 2007, 19:06

nice,thanks! :jester:

Vygantas 11. April 2007, 19:10

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/846744?startidx=50#comment2681655

Not fixed yet, not sure what you have modified in that version, but it doesn't wor since then :-)

I might give you some permissions into my admin panel so you can check yourself or so...

Kenneth Crudup 11. April 2007, 19:18

@CSant: I misspoke- I meant GCC 3.4+ builds (I've been using .6 builds for a while, having upgraded to GCC 3.4 last year; I build my own Qt).

shoover 11. April 2007, 19:19

@DjiXas:

I'm using the 9.10 release, build 8679, and it tells me the same thing. ;-)

Sander Evers 11. April 2007, 19:29

DjiXas, that might be some sctipt breaking the back button.

And to the others complaining that site x doesn't work (correctly) that's for 90% because of bad coding of the site's pages. Most sites are created to be viewed in IE or FireFox, and other browsers will/might show them incorrectly. Recently, I had a strange bug on my site. But after checking the code twice, I figured that it was my own fault. So, if it's your site that works incorrectly, check your code. If it's not, contact the site's administrators.

And to the Desktop Team, Good job guys! I love the new version :D

Vygantas 11. April 2007, 19:43

elf_sander, script wasn't modified since today :-) Worked perfectly for 1y++ :-)

bob mackaucksky 11. April 2007, 19:54

Thanks but when will be able definetely turn off this bloody error console, for god's sake ? :frown:

If anyone won't Slovenian language...it's here

http://www.the-cannibal.net/slopera.html (main page)

LNG link: http://www.the-cannibal.net/slOpera.rar (WinRAR archive)

It's not my translation but i started the translation request and i posted on Slovenian RN forum under Opera users...
http://www.racunalniske-novice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34146&highlight=opera

It work's and read perfect.

No offense, but why can't you at least have the decency to mention these horrible bugs that must be fixed right now, instead of some vague complaint that doesn't make sense to anyone?

I can't think of one single really CRITICAL bug that MUST be fixed ASAP.

Also, all software is "buggy", and released with known bugs. It is a fact of life. Firefox is always released with known bugs, just like Opera, and just like all other programs.

Problems with Java on the latest build (8771):

The test page at http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp correctly displays:
Java Runtime Version1.6.0_01

The Java test at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml is lacking the "dancing Duke logo image".

The route planner at http://rp.rac.co.uk/ never finishes loading the interactive (Java) map.

The page http://map24.com/ causes Opera to hang or shutdown.

All of these work in IE7.

Anyone else could confirm?

(Windows XP SP2)

J.Z. Herrenberg 11. April 2007, 21:38

@yksyks

I use Java 1.5.10 on a WinXP SP2 system and don't experience any difficulty.

Perhaps the 1.6 version is to blame for your difficulties? I seem to remember on the Forum people saying something along these lines.



For the rest - I like 9.2, although I'm still wedded to my Start bar...

Grega 11. April 2007, 21:40

@yksyks
I don't have any problems with mentioned websites. Everything works perfect!
