That is great! But where could we find changelog??

Woah, that was fast. And 9.5 is fast. This is great I guess RC was mostly a last check for major show-stoppers.

I upgraded from version 9.27. I want to use opera link feature, but there is missing synchronize opera in menu File.

Whoa I put a comment before Tamil did o_o

12 Pizzas in one day? Wooeeee I hope there are more than half a dozen of you

Congrats!

thanks everyone.

i was waiting for a new snapshot on friday

Horrible. I can't use it for many many purposes Opera 9.27 was capable of.

Example:
https://millionenklick.web.de/spielen?sid=___MILLIONENKLICK_NICHT_ANGEMELDET____

Just have a look at the playfield that does not get loaded... no problem with 9.27. (Plugin is installed, of course.)
This bug has been reported many many weeks ago.

Favicons do not get displayed properly - at least not in the bookmarks and personal bar (sometimes, after closing and reopening Opera, they are there).

Closing tabs takes loong, whatever they contain.

Logging in on SSL-Sites still (or better, again) takes very very long occasionally, that was better in some previous 9.5 builds.

And, finally, that black look is so silly, reminds me of star wars, nothing for the masses, in my opinion.

Yeah, that's all great but richtext editor in www.Open-Xchange.com still dosn't work (I can't edit my mails). I think this release should be beta3 maybe even rc2 but not final..

Congratulations and thanks for this amazing piece of work!

the tabs color is so horrible and unmatching the address bar. can you hire real designers?

YEEEEEEEEHA

I was hoping that the QT4 version would be finished for the final relase of 9.50. The current qt4 build is still statically linked and looks for the QT4 style in the wrong place if no -style argument is given. It was kinda hard to figure out, but at least in Ubuntu Hardy, QT4 style settings are in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf instead of ~/.qt/qtrc (which stores the QT3 settings). This needs to be changed in the opera startup script. Interface fonts and font sizes are another accessibility problem. It would be very good to make Opera use the fonts the user selects centrally using qtconfig. Changing the fonts through the Opera settings is kinda redundant...

Opera 9.5 rocks! Since one of the first nightlybuilds I have used this Opera version as my default browser.... keep up the good work and move over Firefox! :-D

@Tamil, I mean, the changelog from 9.50 RC to 9.50 final. Not all the changelog...

Damn, it's fast!

I like Windows native skin more than default. Tools - Appearance - Windows Native.

Thanks, good job

Sorry but rushing with "stable" version is just stupid. This build is beta max:
- jre doesn't work with x86_64 (i386 and amd64),
- there's no qt4 version of x86_64 or shared qt4 for i386,
- 83 pts in acid3 (with all that boasting about 100pts few months ago),
- etc.

One more thing. I want to download i386-qt4-gcc4, why do I have to check every distribution on your download list to find which will redirect me to build I want? Wouldn't be easier to make http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/snapshot-2042/ dir with all the builds?

some other time, i would say "HOOORAY" too... but this is just a rushed work.. with so many annoying bugs, far from RC2, even more far from final.
If it was done just to be there FIRST (comparing to ff3), then good job, you done... but how?
I just see how there are 9.51, 9.52 every week instead of weeklies just to fix the bugs...

/me disappointed

ohh great ,thanks.

Great guys! Next long term step.. Opera 10!

@Devs
The changelog is lacking the entry for Content Blocking that mentions the new filter/search feature.

@Everyone
Digg this here:
http://digg.com/software/Opera_9_5_released
..spread the word!

There will always be bugs Pitris. If they held back the release until it was 'bug free' even in the tracking system it would never be released. Ever.

You always release with bugs; you just release without known showstoppers and as few major ones as possible.

Ok, nobody told, but this build version: 10063

Changelog between final and the last weekly?

Opera devs,
thanks for all your hard work!

Why does the acid 3 test fail ?
Nevertheless welldone for this version. The new appereance is great !

Acid3 was never on the path for this release Shaffe.

why does acid2 test fail - does that test matter anymore?

It is the splendid result.

I continue using it from the first version, but cannot part anymore.

I expect further development.

great Thanks.

Thanks , I installed , also took the background image of the first page to set as my desktop wallpaper, which looks great.

Congratulations on this release! Many thanks for all the hard work you've put into 9.5 for us

I still miss Vista's default explorer windows for Saving files and a new Opera-icon. I mean, you made a redesign of Opera's look with "Sharp" but you forgot those icons? Those icons are the same since Opera 6, so please change them soon. You can't just advertise the new sharp look of Opera and then forgot those details...


But nevertheless, thanks for the new skin, I really love it!

Thanks for listening to the several hundred comments people left about the same few things in the new theme. Oh wait... you didn't.

I'm not upgrading. I don't like my programs to look like zebras.

@Bill

For me it is a pass

http://acid2.acidtests.org/#top

I know that you want to know about new bugs only... but for me, this one is critical.

Any Opera 9.5 build I know of, whether it be a beta or the current release, does not allow me to import client certificates.

I tried with both a free personal certificate issued by Thawte (and this CA is not an unknown...) and a certificate signed by our internal corporate CA.

Opera seems to be able to decrypt it (it only reprompts for the password if it is incorrect), but then it just plain refuses to install the certificate saying

"The key of the certificate was encrypted using an unsupported method, possibly one that is not considered strong enough."

I mean, come on, you consider it's not strong enough, so what ??

It's a *client* certificate, not for the server, the key is encrypted with 3DES and a passphrase and it should be *my* responsibility to keep the certificate secure.

Only Opera 9.2 could import them, but Opera 9.2 does not run on Mac OS X Leopard.

This is not acceptable for a *release*.

Instead of releasing in terror of the burning fox, you should consider releasing it when it's done.

On a side-note, I believe that tab switching using <Option+Tab> formerly also worked when you then used the arrow keys to navigate.
Now it does not.

@Bill_P
Acid2 passes just fine.

I thought the Acid 3 postings here were clear enough - those were experimental builds. 9.5 does much better then 9.2 on Acid 3, but getting the last of the changes in the normal builds requires more work to make sure the rest of the web doesn't break while we change things for that test.

I can't find any report with 'millionenklick' in the URL in our bugs database. So nobody filed a report on this.

You are apparently using a customized menu, see 'Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Toolbars'.

It was a nice ride with opera desktop team. Thank you and hope we will see you soon - let say for opera 10.0 alpha builds?

@catapulted: Check this, might help: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=235428

CONGRATULATIONS OPERA!

- Graphical glitches of the menu bar haven't been fixed.
- Fat bars are still fat (Menu bar, Tab bar and Address bar).

Fat bars are taking too much screen space from actual web page, especially if you have small monitor and lower screen resolution. Why is it so fat? It should be lighter, people like compact. It is very disturbing. Too bad this is final. It makes me upset.

CONGRATULATIONS OPERA!

However, I still have a problem with the Opera Link synchronization. The first time I run 9.5 and put in my login details, it synchronized correctly. But instantly after that the status reverts back to 'Synchronization failed'. This happened during most of the 9.5 beta weekly builds. Is there some kind of troubleshooting page for Opera Link?

So when will the next alpha or snapshot be released? (serious question)
