Post-seminar Unite build
By Haavard. Thursday, 29. October 2009, 11:00:00
Here's another Unite build for testing.
As you can see, the changelog isn't very big this time around. This is partially due to a seminar we attended last week, but a lot of the desktop resources have been moved to the next "major" version of Opera as well. We are not quite ready to share any details about this yet, but stay tuned.
I won't go into too much detail about the seminar either, but among the subjects that were covered were some plans for the next couple of major versions of the desktop browser, and some pretty awesome news for Opera Mobile and Opera Mini users. You will have to visit the Opera Mobile and Opera Mini blogs for more on that, though, when the time comes.
Work on Unite in 10.10 will continue, so expect more Unite builds in the near future.
Unix users will be happy to know that this build should finally work with Qt 4.5.3+. 
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 sure lost some sleep over this, it's better but the problems with qt4.5.3 are still not 100% fixed
eg like I wanted to insert a smiley and clicked the smiley(in the post comment section) to bring them all up, some wouldn't load and the page kept refreshing, during that time I could (almost) not scroll nor remove the popup with smileys-> stop refreshing the page and I could scroll again and remove the popup
I think there are more issues here....

aka DSK-262116 is still there.
Getting this bug fixed isn't easy task especially if no one looks at it at opera team heh :-) Guys, could you look at it? It's very annoying bug and I guess not so hard to fix.
Thanks!

$ opera
/usr/lib/opera/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing qt-common solved the problem on my mandriva box

And yes, I'm using Opera as a remote desktop. I find it more secure than having to open my firewall connections.

1. Enumerating Service Owner Usernames
Use: site:operaunite.com search query in search engine to build a list.
2. Enumerating Computer names for a particular Service Owner
“If you visit the service homepage with any non-existent computer name, then Opera Unite happily discloses all computer names used by that person.”
3. Enumerating Service Owner Server IP address and Port number
As they say, Opera Unite does not mask your IP or port number. In fact, everyone can see it.
View > Source
4. Hijacking Insecure Communication in Service Pages
One of the main issues found here was lack of https support: “These users use sensitive credentials to login to your services and need the same kind of security as the service owner. What is more shocking is that the user management system at my.opera.com does not support https.”
5. Hosting Phishing Pages and other Malware on Trusted Operaunite.com
An attacker can trick users by uploading phishing site to their unite page. As you can see from the screenshot, it looks like content is coming from operaunite.com, resulting some users to fall for this trick.

There's some valid points however, especially for the lack of https support.
Robert90 # 29. October 2009, 17:51
So it isn't fixed? Because for me the problem stays exactly the same, before this snapshot it freezed on my.opera.com, and after the upgrade, it still freezes, so for me this update didn't change a thing (didn't test any other sites, but I can't imagine one of them is "magically" working now) So I'm typing this from Firefox
Running Qt 4.6.0 (from the openSUSE repositories).
Edit:
Just opened news.opensuse.org and this page also still freezes, so I'm fairly certain this update didn't change a thing for me
Tommy A. Olsen # 29. October 2009, 17:52
bob mackaucksky # 29. October 2009, 18:12
And I guess it was worrying enough, since Opera staff decided to fix it.

Look at the search.ini used by some languages that can be found in the locale\X folders. If you delete or rename it, you get those searches back.

you must be kidding ! A bug ? Why the hell would the visitors have the right to see our IP ? Why is it visible in the source ? Don't fix that bug, it's very well like that.
What do you need that for ?

The widgetize RSS widgets are still not working with this build though.
