,

We have today released 9.23, which mainly addresses the issues found with Mozilla's fuzzer. See the changelogs:



Thanks to you guys for the usual valuable and quick feedback :cheers:

If you haven't done so yet, download Opera 9.23.

And now let's move on... :wink:

Great Job! Thanks, and keep up the good work!

dduenker 15. August 2007, 12:34

thanks a lot :smile:

Jazmo 15. August 2007, 12:46

Is it 8808 ?

Stifu 15. August 2007, 12:50

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

Hades32 15. August 2007, 12:56

Hey and what about my (4th)? :D

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!

Ready for Download and Testing :smile:

:knight:

stam1na 15. August 2007, 13:16

Bug #276397 still present on this release :frown:

f1avalanche 15. August 2007, 13:19

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

kiaM 15. August 2007, 13:25

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

Junyor 15. August 2007, 13:39

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

DjiXas 15. August 2007, 13:44

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

eestlane 15. August 2007, 13:45

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

fearphage 15. August 2007, 13:51

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 15. August 2007, 13:54

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?

DjiXas 15. August 2007, 13:57

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...

eestlane 15. August 2007, 13:58

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

jonnablaze 15. August 2007, 14:06

And now let's move on to Kestrel.

thobi 15. August 2007, 14:10

uh, bad jonna :wink:

@kiaM
confirmed :frown:

kiaM 15. August 2007, 14:14

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

Khadgar 15. August 2007, 14:34

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 :D

Cyro 15. August 2007, 14:39

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

Hypnotoad 15. August 2007, 14:46

@kiaM: Confirmed

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

kiaM 15. August 2007, 14:58

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

Netegrof 15. August 2007, 15:02

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 15. August 2007, 15:17

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

MrFukov 15. August 2007, 15:21

"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 15. August 2007, 16:14

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

DjiXas 15. August 2007, 16:19

Can anyone load it?

I get

"The Smart Ads demo requires the Adobe Flash player.
Click here to download the 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...

andresruiz 15. August 2007, 16:30

Wow, 9.23 Final. Tks a lot.

Damiel 15. August 2007, 16:32

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

FataL 15. August 2007, 16:34

Don't forget about Torrents option when downloading. :wink:

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

yagotta 15. August 2007, 16:44

@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 15. August 2007, 17:33

Wow, 9.23 Final. Grazie !

Galileo 15. August 2007, 17:53

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

zombie 15. August 2007, 20:11

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.

suribe 15. August 2007, 20:39

great! the shared version! :spock:

""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.

Works fine for me. :D

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.

phoenixp3k 16. August 2007, 00:33

I love that new build on my Vista PCs :smile:

Thanks a lot. Keep on the good work too.

kyleabaker 16. August 2007, 01:09

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. :D

NEOAethyr 16. August 2007, 05:43

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.
Edit: Reposted as an rar here so it does'nt spam people to death.

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 16. August 2007, 09:15

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 16. August 2007, 12:09

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

Arup65 16. August 2007, 13:39

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.
