Is it 8808 ?

Stifu Wednesday, August 15, 2007 12:50:49 PM

Yes, it's 8808.
Thanks for deleting the usual "Woohoo I'm 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc" comments. p

Martin RauscherHades32 Wednesday, August 15, 2007 12:56:43 PM

Hey and what about my (4th)? bigsmile

Anyway, thanks for your work!
I think this is an appropriate build for a final.

PS: Will any post concerning 9.5 and Kestrel be deleted?
PPS: Please don't delete me!

Bug #276397 still present on this release sad

Alexeif1avalanche Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:19:29 PM

Is it the same 8808 that was released some time ago?

kiaM Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:25:03 PM

Yes, it seems to be the same build as the weekly build 8808.

Tim AltmanJunyor Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:39:24 PM

@Hades32: Comments about Kestrel are off-topic for this blog post, so yes, they'll most likely be deleted.

FavDjiXas Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:44:32 PM

Is it exactly the same build which was released some time ago? Or something is different even build number is same.

Madiseestlane Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:45:23 PM

There's no need to update from latest weekly then, right? (Yes, I take that risk and install weeklies over stable releases.)

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:51:03 PM

Will anti-IE (fixed getElementById/Name) changes make it to Merlin?

This build is the same as the previous 8808 build. A build number means the binary was compiled from source. The build numbers are automatically incremented. If the build numbers are the same, there are no changes.

Is that a hint? 9.24, 9.25, 9.26 etc here we come! We're only 27 "steps" away from that which we do not speak of.

(Hey kids, guess what!? Its downloadable from opera.com/download/. You know what that means? I told you they wouldn't forget. I knew I trusted them for a reason.)

kiaM Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:54:37 PM

The page http://www.tui.com/de causes my Opera to use up to 99% CPU usage. I have to kill the process via windows task manager.
Can someone confirm this behaviour?

FavDjiXas Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:57:02 PM

It's a second time (not 100% sure) when we can get "final" as weekly. Just wondering if they want to give more time and test before making it "final" or other reasons...

Madiseestlane Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:58:52 PM

kiaM, confirm! Though I managed to close the tab.

jonnablaze Wednesday, August 15, 2007 2:06:16 PM

And now let's move on to Kestrel.

thobi Wednesday, August 15, 2007 2:10:05 PM

uh, bad jonna wink

@kiaM
confirmed sad

kiaM Wednesday, August 15, 2007 2:14:54 PM

hint from opera-info.de :
turn off javascript to solve the problem with http://www.tui.com/de

Dustin WilsonKhadgar Wednesday, August 15, 2007 2:34:46 PM

Nice job, guys. Mozilla's fuzzer was quite a nice tool. Still waiting patiently to get my greedy hands on The-Build-Which-Should-Not-Be-Named bigsmile

Cyro Wednesday, August 15, 2007 2:39:29 PM

Khadgar: The-Build-Which-Should-Not-Be-Named = TBWSNBN

Edmund BlackadderHypnotoad Wednesday, August 15, 2007 2:46:14 PM

@kiaM: Confirmed

(wish you'd mentioned it before 9.23 went final wink )

kiaM Wednesday, August 15, 2007 2:58:06 PM

@Hypnotoad: i found out by accident. never used the site before.

Edgar P. NashNetegrof Wednesday, August 15, 2007 3:02:07 PM

The site http://www.tui.com/de kill my Opera and I have to close with the task manager because blocked the browser and my computer.

nbarriga Wednesday, August 15, 2007 3:17:02 PM

@kiaM: Confirmed in linux also, 100% CPU use, but I can close the tab easily.

TopiMrFukov Wednesday, August 15, 2007 3:21:55 PM

"And now let's move on... "
Yay, finally. \o/

Thanks for hard working team. It's really nice to see how fast Opera is evolving.

physisissed Wednesday, August 15, 2007 4:14:07 PM

kiaM, also confirmed on Mac OS X, CPU hits 101.2% :S
Had to "Force quit" Opera

Can anyone load it?

I get

"The Smart Ads demo requires the Adobe Flash player.

Please make sure to enable JavaScript in your browser."

I have js and flashplayer installed... Few seconds ago surfed site with flash (and it loaded). Works with FF and IE...

Andresandresruiz Wednesday, August 15, 2007 4:30:10 PM

Wow, 9.23 Final. Tks a lot.

Damiel Wednesday, August 15, 2007 4:32:01 PM

Thanks for releasing v9.23 at the same time in the debian repo smile

FataL Wednesday, August 15, 2007 4:34:55 PM

Don't forget about Torrents option when downloading. wink

All who ask for Kestrel should first read (and watch) this...

Yagotta B. Kiddingyagotta Wednesday, August 15, 2007 4:44:55 PM

@desktopteam

The Gecko engine renders webpages for printing better than Opera. Therefore, I'll keep K-Meleon for printing, especially into pdf file, and Opera for run-of-the-mill surfing as long as Gecko is clearly abreast of M2.

Take the web page here:
> http://linuxbraindump.org/2007/08/13/the-10-commandments-for-new-linux-users/

And try to print it from M2 into pdf driver courtessy of Adobe, Inc. NO WAY!

But, the very same web page renders from Gecko 1.8 to pdf flawlessly (K-Meleon). I suppose Firefox (and any other browser using Gecko) would work as well.

Opera won't.

Dear DESKTOPTEAM, I'll love to use just one browser, say for consistency. In a word, I like Opera better. But if it won't print, what am I to do?

Keep the good work going.

With best wishes to the Opera-desktopteam
YBK

Thanks for making 9.23 final. We are one step closer to TBWSNBN. Hopefully the noise levels from the construction across the street get better.

It's good to have been able to find some security holes using Mozilla's fuzzer. Don't you guys already have your own fuzzing tools, too?

Joseph33 Wednesday, August 15, 2007 5:33:00 PM

Wow, 9.23 Final. Grazie !

Galileo Wednesday, August 15, 2007 5:53:07 PM

Good work on 9.23, it is very stable. Lets hope the construction will finish soon... smile

zombie Wednesday, August 15, 2007 8:11:29 PM

Build 660 was freezing my system solid (hard boot required). I had to downgrade to b657 to get a stable system again.
I'm using Fedora Core 6 on an IBM Thinkpad.

Sergio Uribesuribe Wednesday, August 15, 2007 8:39:16 PM

great! the shared version! spock

Works fine for me. bigsmile

Version? System? Anything else that might help others identify the problem? The site has about 600 coding errors, it's full of forms and large images. Opera renders it in quirks mode and still, here and elsewhere, it stops systems or brings them to a crawl.

PhoenixP3Kphoenixp3k Thursday, August 16, 2007 12:33:13 AM

I love that new build on my Vista PCs smile

Thanks a lot. Keep on the good work too.

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Thursday, August 16, 2007 1:09:09 AM

In response to FataL's comment..
I'll be seeding the torrents for 9.23 for all versions on my fast connection at school. Do enjoy. bigsmile

NEOAethyr Thursday, August 16, 2007 5:43:29 AM

I found a bug, but I'm unsure if you could even call it that, that is, I don't know how other browsers act about this.

Still, here goes.

Re: RSS feed displaying source code:

It's done that for me ever since the first Opera with RSS support. Long time. Never thought about it before, but yeah, that is kinda annoying.

NEOAethyr Thursday, August 16, 2007 9:15:53 AM

Oh crap, sorry about that.
I'll edit my post and link the src instead wink.

Update:
I shoud'nt of reported a prob, lol.
There is a prob but for some reason it can't allways be reproduced.
I did the exact same thing, .1 > .2 as an example.
Padding as the setting used inside it instead of display, worked fine.
Screw it I guess smile.

Wade Thursday, August 16, 2007 12:09:07 PM

flash still not working with opera as it should be in unix build, will you fix it ever?

Arup Roy ChowdhuryArup65 Thursday, August 16, 2007 1:39:00 PM

Flash and youtube works fine on my Opera PCLOS build 9.22 without any hitches. Opera 9.23 works great on my 2K and XP64 as well without any problems.

Thanks Opera.
