My Opera
The Christmas Edition
By Espen Sandespens. Friday, December 19, 2008 2:39:44 PM
Hi all,
This is my first release message for about four years I believe. Needless to say it is
the first on the blog. In the good (bad?) old days mail lists and usenet ruled but it
has to be a bit more fancy nowadays.
A new snapshot is available for you to try out. As usual it includes a lot of fixes and
improved features.
WARNING: This is a development snapshot: it contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.
PS: For those of you who want to use autoupdate in every single snapshot release just enable the "Download All Snapshots" setting (opera:config#AutoUpdate).
Update 2008-12-23: The builds haves not been added to the autoupdate server yet due to people going on vacation. Sorry for the false start, but we'll get back to you with automatic updates as soon as possible (depending on when people return from vacation).
Changelog
Happy holidays from everybody in the desktop team

Not sure if this is of any significance but the Delayed Script Execution prevents the Browser JS page from working (ie telling you its enabled and the timestamp) I assume this means that this option effectively disables the browserjs? Anyway tell me if a bug should be submitted on this.
As to the Acid test score, I'm not sure which setting it is but something causes me to get "Test 76 failed: expected '0' but got '100' - Incorrect animVal value after svg animation" however remember that its only really important for a clean install to pass so if you fail try with a pristine install.
