Turbo in 10

Opera Turbo included in 10
If you have a laptop, use slow wifi or mobile networks it's time to start using Opera 10 snapshots: Opera Turbo is now included! Since the labs release, a number of improvements have been implemented
  • We introduced a new (experimental rolleyes) Turbo setting: Automatic. If you enable this feature Opera will turn on Turbo when the network is slow. You can enable automatic mode in the Web Pages tab in the preference dialog. Opera will also show you a special notification when you are on a slow network and Turbo is not yet on.
  • Fixes to downloading of images
  • Impossible to click links on some sites
  • Gmail problems solved
  • Improved performance

New file layout in installation and profile directories
Traditionally the files installed by the Opera installer are named and layout differently per platform. For instance on Mac, preferences are stored in "Opera 9 Preferences" while on Unix and Windows this file is called "opera6.ini". In Opera 10 these differences will disappear. If you upgrade to this snapshot, the files will be renamed and moved to the new location.
WARNING: Please only test upgrading if you have backed up your Opera profile!
Known bugs when upgrading:
  • favicons are missing after upgrade
  • speeddials are empty after upgrade

New sprelling cshecker
In this snapshot Opera now uses the hunspell library as spelling checker. This provides better spelling suggestions and improves compatibility with several dictionaries.

Crashlog reporting, now on Linux!
In the previous post on this blog we asked you to upload crashlogs generated by Opera. Please continue to send logs, several crashes have been fixed thanks to your help!
Linux penguin builds now also automatically create crash logs. You can find them in /var/tmp

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.

I hope .deb will come today ....

Charles SchlossChas4 Friday, April 3, 2009 3:51:46 PM

Are the build number under LATEST SNAPSHOT the correct ones?

Is Macintosh 6284 or 6343 the current build for the Mac Intel Alpha?

arghwashier Friday, April 3, 2009 3:53:11 PM

I hope we will finally see 64bits qt4 builds, qt3 is rapidly losing support in the new distros....

Anyway glad to see a new snapshot, eventhough I cant try it because 64bit is not up yet..

ps:is there some way to get favicons and speeddial back

YOKEYyokey Friday, April 3, 2009 3:53:49 PM

"If you upgrade to this snapshot, the files will be renamed and moved to the new location."

Care to elaborate? i know its a snapshot build but we still need to know whats going on,and "mgillespie" comment doesn't look good at all.
I'm not sure to install it now.No install no testing, whats up with this.

What's the difference between "old" and "new" config layouts (Linux and Windows, for preference)?

Martin RauscherHades32 Friday, April 3, 2009 4:15:29 PM

Thanks!

Kamaleshkamalesh Friday, April 3, 2009 4:19:20 PM

Is there a delay with the auto-update files (for Mac-intel build)? Or should we just manually upgrade after backing up profile?

Martin RauscherHades32 Friday, April 3, 2009 4:25:09 PM

Hmm, killed my speed-dial :-/

I'm with some problems with SESSIONS on intranet in this build.
The same application works fine online, but on my intranet all sessions fail.

The build o100s_1229 works fine.

worried

Opera doesn't copy the settings from the old .ini to the new one when upgrading.-One folder has been move inside "profile", mail, good change..i was mistaken about the moved folders i talked about before.

If you can make a post about the changes on folders naming, moving. Also DSK-248777 and DSK-248779 fixed.

rseiler Friday, April 3, 2009 4:27:45 PM

On a clean install, there are some notable differences from before. These are some:

-opera6.ini is now operaprefs.ini.
-operadef6.ini is now operaprefs_default.ini.
-Cache4 directory is now Cache.
-Images directory is now Icons.
-The "profile" directories are eliminated and the contents of them moved up one directory level.

YES. perfect! This is how Opera should be: it should have the most automatic features as possible (automatic updates, automatic turbo mode, and so on and so forth...), the more, the better.

Waiting for my update manager to hook me up with the new x86_64 build!

Justinjoeblow1102 Friday, April 3, 2009 4:38:38 PM

Besides the known issues when upgrading, everything seemed to work fine here. It wasn't a big deal to have to rebuild favicons and speeddial.

rriiicchh Friday, April 3, 2009 4:39:13 PM

Thanks for the new build, quite a jump in builds from the previous.

On OSX I am getting weird font problems on this site

http://www.macheist.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=14530

Both on this build and previous builds.


Also weird yellowing of some text in the drop down on the addressbar with some of my themes. I guess it is a problem with the themes.

Bill PBill_P Friday, April 3, 2009 4:41:24 PM

will there be any 64bit builds today or are they only delayed?

Soleen Friday, April 3, 2009 4:51:25 PM

What is 'Opera_1000_1413_in.exe' in linux directory? :-)

Martin RauscherHades32 Friday, April 3, 2009 4:53:26 PM

URLFILTER.ini is not copied, too.

snf Friday, April 3, 2009 4:53:37 PM

Thank's

Francisco Herrerafherrerav Friday, April 3, 2009 4:56:19 PM

Google Reader doesnt show navigation icons. This happens in 10 and 9.6. Anyone can confirm?

Harald Hvaalmetellius Friday, April 3, 2009 4:57:25 PM

Hm, no qt4 builds? I guess I won't be testing this build.

Jan Frode Høinesmaake93 Friday, April 3, 2009 4:57:46 PM

Favicons and speeddial was gone after upgrading but after synchronizing the new build they both came back :-)

This build seems rather unstable though, I've experienced two crashs in the first ten minutes, and it's been months since the last time I experienced a crash...

Hansapelle Friday, April 3, 2009 5:02:41 PM

Thanks for the improvements.
However the spell-check now only gives me English, while in the previous build I have several other languages installed.
What is the procedure now of installing these again?

zoquete Friday, April 3, 2009 5:02:59 PM

My statusbar's height is huge.
like .mini does not work. Could somebody confirm?

Nonox Friday, April 3, 2009 5:05:23 PM

Thank you!

I've noticed strange yellow artefacts in background on Twitter, Deezer and others websites. You can see the screenshots here : http://img24.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=twitter.tif ! I use the Mac version.

Philee Friday, April 3, 2009 5:09:02 PM

I upgraded with the classic installer over a single user profile.

Speeddials were kept.
Custom layout and menu has been reverted.
The cache folder changed.
The bookmarks somehow changed.

Suddenly I have a letter in brackets after many names.
Is this on purpose?

I will try a clean install now.

Morphdreamer Friday, April 3, 2009 5:09:37 PM

Thanks for the build! Filmweb.pl is FINALLY usable!

Philee Friday, April 3, 2009 5:13:51 PM

Another thing I realized:
after upgrade I have now three uninstall entries:

Lots of mail improvements as well. New signature editor and signature bug fixes, HTML and attachments should now work, RTL fixes, font dialog in the compose window, new mailproviders, unread count correctly updated +++

zoquete Friday, April 3, 2009 5:23:35 PM

what is the new location for diccionaries?

Please list all location / naming changes.

theonehorst Friday, April 3, 2009 5:30:42 PM

Good work, but when is the new mac skin coming?

Artur Freitasafreitas Friday, April 3, 2009 5:34:30 PM

@Hansapelle: I managed to run spell checking to portuguese language, by copying the pt.aff and pt.dic files to the %PROGRAMFILES%\Opera 10 Preview\locale\pt, then I restarted Opera.
Keep up the good work, Opera Desktop Team!

Les Friday, April 3, 2009 5:34:32 PM

Now I have 4 Installed Opera 10.00 entries - do I need to uninstall all and reinstall?

Ward Friday, April 3, 2009 6:05:06 PM

I backed up and installed it, upgrading the existing install. It worked fine. I then uninstalled it and 3 other Opera 10 installation entries on my W7 Installed Programs list.

One clean reinstall later, everything works fine, but oGet no longer installs - presumably because of the changed configuration file names/locations.

Hopefully, someone can post manual install instructions or Lex can bring us a fix soon.

Ferrisferrisnox Friday, April 3, 2009 6:05:35 PM

Congratulations!!
This is the first build in a while that has worked really well with Digg.com, comments render correctly and the login is working much better.

Thanks for all the hard work!

serious Friday, April 3, 2009 6:07:50 PM

nice, this sounds like some must-have weekly for my aspire one ^^

Ward Friday, April 3, 2009 6:09:02 PM

I've just noticed that there is a drag border between the address field and the search field on the address bar.

You can change the widths of each by dragging!
