It's out!

By Tommy A. Olsentoman. Wednesday, October 14, 2009 8:49:10 AM

Finally, we can officially release 10.10 Beta. You have all been really helpful with testing, and loads of improvements have been made across the board.

We've been working really hard on Unite before this release. The backend servers, and especially the proxy, have been almost completely rewritten, to gain more performance and reliability. The Unite applications have also been redesigned, with some nice features added. Overall, Unite has become even easier to use, more stable, faster, better™, so please download this build and use it! One word of caution though: If you've used Unite before, remove all traces of the old installation before installing this one. We can't guarantee that it works otherwise...

The beta build is mostly the same as the same as the previous snapshot, with some improvements to translations and installation.

Go grab it!

how can I remove all traces? Uninstall all services first?

RSD # Wednesday, October 14, 2009 9:10:28 AM

The search in Kelkoo, 'History search' and 'Find in page' have been removed in this build.

To remove traces of Unite, you can delete the services, exit Opera and then upgrade.

Let's hope that this time Unite will rule

Media Player (haven't tested the rest yet, also I'm using v3.8, not v3.7 which worked even less) just...well, doesn't work.

In Opera:
1. Of the 1328 tracks I have in the folder it's using, only 2/3rds of them show up.

2. Although all 1328 have both IDv1 and IDv3 tags, it's only showing the tags for about a 1/8th of the songs (of the 2/3rd that it's showing)

3. Probably an inability, but some songs play in the Media Player, others, open the VLC plug-in to play them (CBR, VBR, ABR, doesn't seem to matter, but I suspect that's the problem, for the record they are all MP3, not WMV, OGG, or anything else renamed to have an MP3 extension)

4. Still haven't seen it use any Album art.

In Any Other Browser:
(Chrome 2.x, Firefox 3.5, Safari 4.0, IE8)
1. All tracks are displayed (yippee)

2. Not a single track will play.

Granted, it's looping back on itself, (Playing from the Same PC that's holding the content) but previously that didn't seem a problem (in the B1600, and B1700's)

Win XP SP3, yet to try Vista, or Win7

Will you add 10.10?

aust # Wednesday, October 14, 2009 10:15:19 AM

Visible to the naked eye the performance is increased. Thanks very much. But 1 bug with dictionary is reached: spellchecking is not work with .oow after restart Opera despite the fact that the added words is already presence in file.oow.

Will there be a huge waiting period after 10.10 goes final before we get the next core? There usually are several weeks/months of silence after something goes final, but I'm being hopeful.

I still haven't seen my bug being fixed for Qt4 builds on Linux where Opera just stops working and a kill -9 is needed to close Opera.

Thanks for the new build! Now lets proceed with the next steps everybody wants to see: Core 2.4, Carakan, Vega

Sertse # Wednesday, October 14, 2009 10:52:34 AM

The bug with Qt4 > 4.5.2 needs to be fixed soon (especially before any finals). It know Qt3 is recommended, but this isn't your usual bug, but render it nigh unusable.

Still a great browser though. Can't yet to go back to using it.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Search. There delete the extra search engine that has appeared and it should bring the search fields back normal. At least it did for me when I deleted the "Shopping" entry that was not there previously.

redpok about the names of the Privacy options, delete the services and download them again, they should be ok.

Version 3.8 of Media Player, fixed the weird (Japanese for me) symbols, and the {{plugin}} stuff.

However, it did not fix the Tag reading/displaying, most tracks are still just Track Name with no Artist even though they are tagged properly, and even the file names are Artist - Track.mp3 (which is what it should default to when tag reading fails)

That would be mighty good news.

And of course congrats on the beta release.

sweet!

. I hope finalized Opera 10.10 will have more "features" than Unite as I have been reading

. But I for now , its time to test again!

I've created an issue. I was able to play music in ff and ie8, but not in opera. You should create an issue too, about the rest of the stuff, but for me, I can confirm only the opera problem i've written there.

sebt # Wednesday, October 14, 2009 1:06:30 PM

So if this is the same as the last snapshot I take it that the completely broken media player hasn't been fixed

I'm a bit mystified why Opera would announce Unite to the wide world the second time round with one of its components so badly broken.

Here is the first blogpost about this, the are several other confirmations and further info later in the blog.

Ah well, roll on the next snapshot I guess...

Can you clarify this for me? I should delete all the Unite Svcs/Apps first, then shut down Opera to upgrade manually?

Auto-update not an option...because I'm getting the updater dialog...?

I'm assuming this sequence is for this alpha/beta transition only...my parents/family aren't going to find this upgrade process fun.

QT 4.5.3 :: OPERA FREEZING PROBLEM WORKAROUND:
(in case you don't want to downgrade qt to 4.5.2)

mkdir /tmp/_opera_workaround
cd /tmp/_opera_workaround
wget http://arm.kh.nu/extra/os/i686/qt-4.5.2-7-i686.pkg.tar.gz
tar vxzf qt-4.5.2-7-i686.pkg.tar.gz
sudo cp usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.5.2 /usr/lib/opera/
sudo cp usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.5.2 /usr/lib/opera/
cd ~
rm -r /tmp/_opera_workaround

and then run Opera using this command (forces Opera to use some older qt libraries):

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/opera/libQtCore.so.4.5.2:/usr/lib/opera/libQtGui.so.4.5.2 /usr/bin/opera

Congrats on getting 10.10 beta out.

Any update on bug DSK-266476 ? I can only use Opera for E-Mail and RSS feeds, I dare not use it for regular web browsing.
