that's a good question

Soul Of DoinelSoulOfDoinel Wednesday, December 19, 2007 7:49:58 PM

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 ?

Thanks :]
Merry Christmas :]

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...

Jandevil-kin Wednesday, December 19, 2007 8:20:57 PM

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

Haavardhaavard Wednesday, December 19, 2007 8:34:28 PM

devil_kin, have you tried the 9.5 snapshots?

Peterpman45 Wednesday, December 19, 2007 9:20:02 PM

Andresandresruiz Wednesday, December 19, 2007 9:33:20 PM

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

Miczalinasevillana Wednesday, December 19, 2007 10:31:14 PM

was hoping that Opera Link would be in 9.25 release sad Will have to wait a bit more.
Merry Christmas Desktop Team smile

And still no FreeBSD-7 version... ;-/

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

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

EricJH Thursday, December 20, 2007 12:23:07 AM

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

Gyrobo Thursday, December 20, 2007 12:49:41 AM

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?

Chase-san Thursday, December 20, 2007 3:09:01 AM

That is strange, whats up with the ACID2?

Andrew G.consalt Thursday, December 20, 2007 6:54:55 AM

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

Haavardhaavard Thursday, December 20, 2007 8:30:12 AM

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:

Mathias Amnellcrawen Thursday, December 20, 2007 9:00:36 AM

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

VladTuPLaD Thursday, December 20, 2007 9:50:02 AM

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

JasmoJazmo Thursday, December 20, 2007 2:44:28 PM

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

GroovyMicky Thursday, December 20, 2007 3:07:49 PM

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.

Haavardhaavard Thursday, December 20, 2007 6:33:06 PM

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

xet7 Thursday, December 20, 2007 6:39:11 PM

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

Kirilljarinkirill Thursday, December 20, 2007 7:06:03 PM

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

MattSergej Thursday, December 20, 2007 9:29:35 PM

upgrated smile

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

Mimi's Mum (MM)mimi_s_mum Thursday, December 20, 2007 10:27:51 PM

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?

Serpher Thursday, December 20, 2007 11:01:21 PM

That news is a little delayed ;P Many people installed that version few days ago.

zix Thursday, December 20, 2007 11:18:50 PM

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

i installed this over 9.5 9694 beta.

this 9.25 opera will not run.

it will use constant 90-95% of cpu usage but not start. memory use is always 13.748 K (13 mb).

Filip MileretRedBaron Friday, December 21, 2007 10:58:42 AM

wallstreet23788: I know this, only clean install get you back into 9.2 series.

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

Micky & haavard: I install every beta/alpha that comes out on here.. I'm on linux by the way, so I do the usual: dpkg -i <filename>.deb

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/nm0460209/ Lynn Klugman
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0154665/ Paddy Chayefsky
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000034/ William Holden

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.

Haavardhaavard Sunday, December 23, 2007 1:07:53 PM

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

zoquete Sunday, December 23, 2007 7:07:45 PM

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

zoquete Sunday, December 23, 2007 8:09:56 PM

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.

Haavardhaavard Sunday, December 23, 2007 8:29:15 PM

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

1. put above on speeddial
2. right click, reload, click on No to add to feeds
3. right click, reload again, click on No; note that the No has to be clicked 2x

opera 9.25 then crashes.
