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 ) 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

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.

'< auuuuuuuuuuu

Yes, thank you.

brunocesar # 3. April 2009, 15:40

Thanks Opera Team for this build, really impressive speed.

I hope .deb will come today ....

Chas4 # 3. April 2009, 15:51

Are the build number under LATEST SNAPSHOT the correct ones?

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

arghwashier # 3. April 2009, 15:53

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

yokey # 3. April 2009, 15:53

Turbo up speed i work happy

mgillespie # 3. April 2009, 15:57

Upgrade did not keep anything for me.

Lost:

Bookmarks, Wand, Speeldial(known), Mail Accounts everything.

I used the MSI installer, and had Multi User=0, Windows 7, and my profile on D:\Opera

lwiczek # 3. April 2009, 16:01

Any chances on relative paths in configuration files?

VarunM # 3. April 2009, 16:03

"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.

hurug # 3. April 2009, 16:09

Great ! Thxs

sebt # 3. April 2009, 16:13

Yay

Sterkrig # 3. April 2009, 16:13

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

Hades32 # 3. April 2009, 16:15

Thanks!

kamalesh # 3. April 2009, 16:19

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

mgillespie # 3. April 2009, 16:22

Small comment, clearly the installer did not obey the Multi User value in operadef6.ini as if I open operaprefs_default.ini it shows a different value. Setting it back to 0, and my missing items reappear..

Hades32 # 3. April 2009, 16:25

Hmm, killed my speed-dial :-/
Setups has problems with UTF or something: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/152575/StuffToStay/UTF_Opera_Setup_Prob.png

nom4d3br # 3. April 2009, 16:25

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.

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 # 3. April 2009, 16:27

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.

kyleabaker # 3. April 2009, 16:37

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

joeblow1102 # 3. April 2009, 16:38

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 # 3. April 2009, 16:39

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_P # 3. April 2009, 16:41

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

Soleen # 3. April 2009, 16:51

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

Hades32 # 3. April 2009, 16:53

URLFILTER.ini is not copied, too.

snf # 3. April 2009, 16:53

Thank's

fherrerav # 3. April 2009, 16:56

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

From Neptuno

metellius # 3. April 2009, 16:57

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

maake93 # 3. April 2009, 16:57

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 # 3. April 2009, 17:02

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 # 3. April 2009, 17:02

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

Nonox # 3. April 2009, 17:05

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 # 3. April 2009, 17:09

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 # 3. April 2009, 17:09

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

olli # 3. April 2009, 17:09

zoquete: known

Philee # 3. April 2009, 17:13

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

alexremen # 3. April 2009, 17:18

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 +++

thobi # 3. April 2009, 17:21

zoquete # 3. April 2009, 17:23

what is the new location for diccionaries?

Please list all location / naming changes.

theonehorst # 3. April 2009, 17:30

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

afreitas # 3. April 2009, 17:34

@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 # 3. April 2009, 17:34

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

Serpher # 3. April 2009, 17:38

Ward # 3. April 2009, 18:05

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.

ferrisnox # 3. April 2009, 18:05

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!
