that's a good question

But 9694 is a 9.5 preview, 9.25 is 9.2 last release.
More stability for 9.25 but no new 9.5 features.
Am I wrong ?

64 bit is a new feature for the 9.5 linux builds. 64 bit is not available for 9.2x and unfortunately there are no 64 bit builds for vista at all...

Any chance of making the new flash plugin work on linux? It's rather annoying that it doesn't work...

devil_kin, have you tried the 9.5 snapshots?

It's very unfortunate that Adobe broke compatibility with the current stable Opera releases... On the bright side, you might want to give the 9.5 snapshots a try, they work with the latest Flash release :smile:

was hoping that Opera Link would be in 9.25 release :frown: Will have to wait a bit more.

Does this break ACID2, or is something wrong on my installation?

EDIT: Apparently, there is a problem on the ACID2 web site.

Installed it to be up and running; though I use 9.50 weeklies for all my surfing. Hardly touch the 9.2x series.

By EricJH, # 20. December 2007, 00:23:07

9.25 doesn't pass ACID2 for me either, but ACID2 also breaks under Firefox 3 and Kestrel builds. The misrenderings appear identical. Did someone change ACID2?

By Gyrobo, # 20. December 2007, 00:49:41

That is strange, whats up with the ACID2?

By Chase-san, # 20. December 2007, 03:09:01

Ha-ha, Microsoft fix acid2 for IE8. Now IE8 pass test (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2007/12/19/internet-explorer-8-and-acid2-a-milestone.aspx). But only IE8. No others! :smile:

By consalt, # 20. December 2007, 06:54:55

avatar
The test is currently broken, so if the current version is the one IE8 is working with it doesn't pass Acid2 after all.

Here's a proper version of Acid2:

Wonderful! Thank you! Been using 9.23 for a time now becaus of the textexpander-bug.

I have a problem, after installing this Opera all my mail and RSS accounts are gone :frown:

How hard could it be to code automagig update system, like firefox has?
Surely it keeps browsers better up date.

By Jazmo, # 20. December 2007, 14:44:28

TuPLaD: Did you choose Upgrade or Separate install? You apparently installed it separately in different folder. Search your old Opera folder and copy your old profile dir into new Opera folder.

By Micky, # 20. December 2007, 15:07:49

avatar
TuPLaD: Did you install any other versions of Opera between 9.24 and 9.25? Any 9.5 alphas, betas or snapshots?

Jazmo, an automatic update system is hardly suitable for a minor security release, but wait and see... :smile:

How in Opera can I merge open windows to one window?
If it's not possible yet, could it be added?

By xet7, # 20. December 2007, 18:39:11

xet7, open «Windows» panel (hided by default), select with shift all pages of one window and drag-and-drop it to another.

Easy to update and faster than Firefox (a friend asked me why I use Opera, yesterday)

bug-264187:
The text duplication bug when using Microsoft Japanese IME on Blogger compose/edit field, has returned with vengeance. Strangely Gmail compose, the other site which I filed this original bug report for, seems unaffected.

When I filed bug-264187, I thought the same bug affected both Gmail compose and Blogger compose/edit, but I was obviously wrong. Should I file another bug report about Blogger issue only?

Edit***

My bad. The bug already existed in ver 9.24. Shows how often I update my blog. I did not have this problem when I last posted in September with 9.23. So it came back with 9.24.

Still a question to the dev people. Should I file a new bug report for this issue regarding Blogger only?

installed 9.25, switching back/forward to last 9.5 weekly..

Both 9.25 and latest 9.50 weekly fail the Acid2 test.

Not good, considering Firefox and IE are suddenly making such a noise about Acid2 this week...

IE, yes, but as for Firefox, you're one year late.
Besides, the test is currently broken. Opera and others still pass it.

Well, you should never install final releases on top of a beta, let alone a snapshot release (which is what you've done). And I don't think it will be possible at all to downgrade from 9.50 final (when it is released) to a previous release for a couple of reasons, one being the new mail backend.

Please read this: http://snapshot.opera.com/faq.html#what-snapshot

YAYY!!!

Almost reported a bug from 9656, but you great, wonderful people SQUASHED it! Seems many "people" pages from IMDB were crashing 9656, but these all now work:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0154665/ Paddy Chayefsky

Acid II is broken in 9.25 but not in 9716. Why?
ACID II

Edit: The problem has been caused by Fit to Width again :cry:
Works well now.

zoquete, Acid2 is discussed above. Try Ctrl+F :wink:

haavard, it was your information and it was a wrong one. That's all. I did not read everything....

I hope as well, that if Acid-II-test would be updated or manipulated in any way, there would be some information about it about and about the reason for this step.

haavard,
1) Next time check better your information sources
2) For searching in a page I use slash|dot-shortcuts
3) I am able to read Operas keyboard-shotcuts page even when my English is not without bugs.

By zoquete, # 23. December 2007, 20:09:56

The Acid2 test was actually broken, but it was fixed again very recently. Again, a search might help, so as to avoid duplicating discussions.
