Freedom

By Tommy A. Olsentoman. Tuesday, June 16, 2009 7:00:00 AM

freedom, server, snapshot, UPnP, unite, Opera, reinvent, file i/o, javascript

Looking for freedom? Do you want to share things with who you want, when you want? Do you want to stay in touch with your friends, chat and collaborate, without your data being at the mercy of middlemen? Now, with your own web server, you'll be ready to do all this directly from your computer.

We call it Opera Unite, and it has capabilities like File I/O, server-side scripting with Javascript, combined with UPnP support and much more.

The two way internet is here, and with Opera, you're at both ends whenever you run it.

Do you think that sounds cool? Check out our Opera Unite introduction on labs.opera.com to learn more about how it works! If you are a web-developer, make sure you read the articles on dev.opera.com as well!

Opera Unite is included in this snapshot, so make sure you download and install it!

Full changelog since Beta 1 below.

Indeed, because your name is part of your Unite URL. A name conversion service is planned.

Errm, not finding it too easy so far, where is the option to hide it?

Last option under the File menu. Not if you are using a customized menu of course

Oh.. i really like the skins...please make the toolbar icons even more colourful!!! Thank you!!

shouldn't this be under "View"

skin looks more polished ... like the skinny menu bar

dualbore # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 7:42:39 AM

Oh...wow.

Thanks, I'm curious now as it downloads in background.

Le()niD # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 7:59:28 AM

Unite is surely kicking but I'm unable to log in with my username here (Le()niD) it says that it contains invalid characters

but why my username is accepted in Opera Link
maybe it's possible to make some kind of alias here?

thanx in advance

Juan Sebastián Marulanda Pulidojuanchito2006 # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:00:59 AM

Then again, a great build I won't test since it isn't Qt 4. Opera, please, if you're looking into the future, at least use a present-day toolkit.

matteosorrenti # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:04:41 AM

I can't synchronize me to Opera Link now!!!
My account is with dot (matteo.sorrenti) and when i try to login, Opera say me that i can't use dot in the account!!!

Ryandi Sandicoyomoyo # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:06:46 AM

any qt4 tar.bz2 build?

Romanfeil0ng # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:07:34 AM

so i had to change my user name because of the _ in it.
the link from the dialog led me to the login page but after logging in i was on the start page of my account without the ability to change my nickname.
after clicking in that unite dialog again (being logged in)
i was able to change the user name, but sending the form it said "The page you are looking for could not be found"
seems to work anyway because the url said
[...]"services?newname=success"
and i'm just writing with the new user name

Harlekin Mondharlekinmond # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:11:47 AM

Beautiful build with Opera Unite, thank you very much

Really - how easy is that "easy"? I first tried right clicking the menu bar - nothing. I then tried the View menu - still nothing. I resorted to checking Appearance. Oh, come ooon - it's still NOT there. Tried the Preferences. Tried Tools -> Advanced. Obviously, either I was missing the point of "easy" or the "hide"-thing was not there.
Cannot help myself thinking that the option is not by all means supposed to be in the File menu! Anyway - great idea

The skin is more like IT now

But the 'Go' button for the address bar has gone so narrow that the 'Go' spills out.

cootue # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:14:57 AM

"Added menu option to hide the main menu on Windows and Unix. When hidden, it is replaced by a menu button in the tab bar which is also accessible using the Alt key"

Everything's cool, but where's my freedom when I want to remove this button and it's coming back after every Opera restart? ;)

Tuttle # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:17:10 AM

Disable the menu bar under windows and you get a new top left button to replace it. Very useful. The skin looks better now but not enough to replace the custom mso2007

Cheers

vladleo89 # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:20:18 AM

With russian lang msi install do not property work!!

Please use http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/ to populate opera

Irontiger # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:25:11 AM

I also think that the position of the option "hide the menu bar" would be more intuitive when a user can find it under "view" and not under the "file" menu.

Gousti FruitGoustiFruit # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:30:43 AM

I don't have a customized menu, but the option to hide it doesn't appear in mine. Though I have the option to hide it !?
Well, it's not that important because I'm already using one "toggle menu" button (thanks to http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons#menu)...

4rcane # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:34:58 AM

I Like:
- the new icons, no more heart icons yeh!
- the hide "show menu bar". Should be hidden by default, kinda like Chrome, and move the Tab bar into the title bar like Chrome as well, so we have more real estate on screen

problem:
- go to youtube and left click your name with the drag down arrow for menus. It doesnt show the menu list all at once, until you move your arrow key over them
- it takes a long time for the opera program to load in windows 7

opera sync feature request:
- could the bookmark be sync'ed in proper tree/folder order
- could you include a "delete all bookmark" from opera link webpage as well
- could it include newsfeed addresses

thanks

zoquete # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:41:35 AM

WAW

'< AUUUUUUU

I don't say it mostly, but now: THANK YOU OPERA

Espenher # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:41:50 AM

I love the new Unite-feature. This is what makes opera stand out from the rest of the browsers - pure innovation

BTW: would it be possible to get the great flash-blocking feature for non-turbo users? It would be great to have this in opera. Firefox has flashblock, but I haven't found something similar to opera (that works in 10.0). I know I can block flash content, but I want a play-button on all flash content. Flash is what makes opera unstable for me.

Irontiger # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:44:05 AM

Hi.

I just noticed the the shortcuts change if you hide the menu bar. For example:
With bar: ALT+D (German) opens the file menu.
Without bar: ALT+A shows it (instead of view (Ansicht, in German)).
I would be very grateful, if you could "normalize" the shortcuts.

BTW: This build sometimes slows down. I can't use ist as smooth as the build before. E.g.: Loading the last few items of a website somestimes slows opera down for 5 seconds (unusabel). Anotherone: The tab preview somtomes disappears only if you scoll the website (e.g. this blog

). And so on... What could it be?

Thanks

IT

tcubetcubed # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:49:11 AM

How long will it take for some Firefox addon to "copy" Opera Unite? (I'm don't know for sure if that is possible though...)

artyname # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:51:54 AM

heh, that's really reinventing the web in both senses :)

Romas K.romasio # Tuesday, June 16, 2009 8:58:12 AM

Great news, great work! I like the new polished skin because now when tab bar is on the left it just smoothly merges with everything:) Thanks!

There's one caveat: CPU utilization now much higher, I guess this is Facebook tab to thank for...

Great new build with big changelog and lots of fixes. Unite looks exciting and powerful.

But, as with Link and Turbo, Unite relies on Opera servers and their own proprietary protocols/backend. This feels kinda like a lock-in. I can't help but feel for these technologies to be really huge, Opera needs to publish the standards for the backend and allow others to implement their own or, perhaps, sell the backend components while publishing the standards.

Nevertheless a great new step for Opera and another first

Now just HTML reply option, Edit email body/subject and remove email attachments from messages within the mailsystem, finishing off Visual tabs, a shedload more bugfixes, and we're ready for RC1!!

I'm not using a customised menu either, and I don't have the "hide menu bar" option anywhere in my menus.

If I use 'opera:config' to hide the menu bar I do get the "Show menu bar" in the new menu however.
