Merlin, torrent, kestrel, security, Opera

Hey
We released 9.22 today and it's a recommended security update.
Changelogs:

* Windows: http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/922/
* Mac: http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/mac/922/
* Linux/UNIX: http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/linux/922/

Bit Torrent also received some nice improvements, so it should be quite a bit faster now.

Thank you all for participating in the weekly testing..
Looking forward to serving you some fresh Kestrel builds soon.

Looking forward to serving you some fresh Kestrel builds soon.

and we are looking forward testing them...

skydart # 19. July 2007, 14:49

We look forward to testing them "soon" too! Do you mean, "soon", as in next week? ;-)

Updated & thanks.

Nice

I hope weeklies really become weeklies one day

Yea really. We should officially change the name (sometimies, unstable builds, whenever-we-get-around-to-its, when-they're-readies, etc). If they drop 26 in a year, I'd be surprised. (There are 52 weeks in a year for those who didn't catch the correlation)

I'm upgrading... Seems I've skipped a build somewhere.

Luchio # 19. July 2007, 15:28

"when-they're-readies" LOL!

You should change the top "Windows build 8800" text

Still freezes in Sparc Solaris Static build at this page:

If you select New Hampshire.

I have filed a bug several versions back. But this bug never was fixed.

edupav # 19. July 2007, 15:41

More speed in page charge, in my opinion off course

DjiXas # 19. July 2007, 15:55

How soon? How soon? :-)

herrnagell # 19. July 2007, 15:58

...Kestrel !!! I´m horny,horny,horny,horny!

Hope it's not so crashy 8D

andresruiz # 19. July 2007, 16:10

Thanks a lot for 9.22

Nice to know about kestrel

rseiler # 19. July 2007, 16:15

8800 vs 8801: The security fixes, I guess?

drunkensurgeon # 19. July 2007, 16:21

Release is gooooood...

But beta is funnier

viniciuscubone # 19. July 2007, 16:31

I'm using it right now, feels good.

informale # 19. July 2007, 16:34

Thanks!

the_Arioch # 19. July 2007, 16:34

BitTorrent is unfunctional!

1) it seems, byte counters, received/transmitted, are always stuck to zero - at least for multifile torrents, but maybe for single files too.

2) if multifile torrent has files with non-Latin letters (for example in russian) - Opera turns the filenames into garbage.
AFAIU the filenames in torrents are in UTF-8, Opera passes them to OS file API, so filenameswould be binary UTF-8 and for the user - that would be garbage, dependent on current locale of OS.
So in Linux turned set with UTF-8 locale - by chance it would be ok, in Windows, Linux/KOI8, Linux/cp-1251 - that would be hardly accessible files with corrupt names.

jonspencerbx # 19. July 2007, 16:38

what were the changes between build 8800 and 8801? Tanks

SoulOfDoinel # 19. July 2007, 17:04

Thanks, now I hope to find a present tomorrow !!

I see that the number of windows build in the upper left part of the page is still 8800.

illiad # 19. July 2007, 17:15

I think that is because the last build **on this blog** is 8800...

go here for the final, build 8801 (it is not a 'preview', so it is not on the blog!!)

and talk about it here!!

the next one here will be 8802 or higher!!

rekkoo # 19. July 2007, 19:06

SignUp at the bottom of Opera page - I must click middle mouse button to work. Click by left doesn't work.

www.onet.pl - ok, I don't like commercials, but where they are? I like to block content myself, not by browser.

I just noticed that this latest released version as well as the last 2 weekly versions won't function at all on Yahoo's new Beta upgraded Personal pages... to get there the link is http://cm.my.yahoo.com/ and you just get a blank page...

Confirmed. I had to use FF to revert back and then deleted all yahoo cookies. Yahoo (my.yahoo.com) is becoming more trouble than it's worth.

It's the same story in 9.21...it just depends on what emulation you use. Unfortunately, Opera defaults to "Mask as FF" for my.yahoo.com, which is not the best choice (or at least it wasn't when I wrote about it in the thread below, which, of course, was ignored--I don't know how much of that information is still current, however).

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=155359

If you put your emulation on "Opera" you'll at least be told that you have an unsupported browser (something we at least expect to see) instead of getting a blank window. You might want to experiment with other emulations, for example IE, which appears to get you there.

Interesting post. Unfortunately Opera's override_downloaded.ini file has my.yahoo.com set to User Agent|Spoof UserAgent ID=4. Note: I'm assuming I can't override this 'setting'.

Rijk # 19. July 2007, 22:34

The My Yahoo beta lives at cm.my.yahoo.com, and you can set a different browser ID for this server in Site Preferences. Using 'Opera' as ID seems to work fine. This first guves you an 'unsupported browser' warning, but you can then click through to the My Yahoo beta website.

This is not a specific issue for 9.22 though, using the Forum thread for comments on it is better.

Still having problems with that site, that's about the only thing holding me back from Opera right now.

Still cant rean comments (unless using CTRL+F3 or any other browser).

Damiel # 20. July 2007, 00:16

Thanks for the new version. Please put it in the deb repo

alf245 # 20. July 2007, 00:25

Hopefully we will see devil's build (#666) on UNIX soon.

You mean Ctrl-F11 (Fit to width)

Yes, I noticed that too (some Live Spaces blogs being cut off--it's worse than just comments), though it's not specific to 9.22.

msundman # 20. July 2007, 02:03

it's a recommended security update

Apparently not recommended for people using http://deb.opera.com/ or else someone at opera would have spent half a minute updating the repo.

kyleabaker # 20. July 2007, 04:22

Thanks for the changelogs! Great work!

saito # 20. July 2007, 05:40

I didn't expect many changes in 9.22 except BitTorrent related, so very surprised and happy to get Final with many fixes including especially security issues.
Congrats, Desktop Team. Next goals are Kestrel weeklies!

Though the thing is you get that every time if the emulation is on Opera, or at least I can't get rid of it, so it would be better set on IE. But however it's set it's incredibly slow in Opera so is not really usable anyway; I had to switch back to the classic version.

6.22 on Linux.... Most flawless and stable Opera version I have used since 6.x

Cheers!

Chetto # 20. July 2007, 08:23

Fine...thanks!

But I still have two problems:

* sometimes wrong images are displayed (from the cache?)
* when using Opera on two machines accassing the same mail accout with POP3 on the one and IMAP on the other PC the IMAP account is not updated correctly. After the startup it updated and from this time on it stays 'connected' when checking mails but there are not updates when fetching the mails via POP3.

mimi_s_mum # 20. July 2007, 08:36

Hey the lagging when swithcing tabs is gone! Thanks devs, good work.

yksyks # 20. July 2007, 09:30

Still the same regression with Flash: to demonstrate run the game at http://www.onemorelevel.com/games2/bubbleshooter.swf.

This used to work in build 8796, but not before and not after.

Anyone else? Or similar pages?

zebul666 # 20. July 2007, 10:22

still the same pb with flash on linux

with a page with flash on it. just go to another tab. and you go back to the flash tab. you got grey instead of flash. (happens half the time ?)

or it happens simply when you open a new tab while still staying on the tab with the flash

even with flash 9.0.48.0

colebantam # 20. July 2007, 12:51

The upgrade installation (9.21 -> 9.22) did not "merge" the search configuration, but overwrote it :-(

Because I never had a problem with upgrades so far, I didn't make a backup of the old configuration. That was lazy ;-)
