Christmas comes early for Opera users

By Huib Kleinhouthuibk. Thursday, December 17, 2009 2:46:24 PM


While everyone is off for Christmas vacation, the desktop team is working hard on preparing a nice holiday gift for Opera users. On December 22nd we will release a 10.5 pre-alpha. We'll keep it a surprise for now, but the keyword is: speed. bigsmile


Edit: There are some reports about an old internal build of 10.5 being available. Don't run it, the official build on Tuesday is much better and you don't risk getting nasty trojans on you pc.

Opera 10.20 goes alpha!From all of us to all of you

Driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces!
I’m driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away…

Ferrisferrisnox Thursday, December 17, 2009 4:08:18 PM

Very excited... would love to see 2D acceleration....but Opera doesn't really need it. And it would only be supported on the MS platform anyways right? Oh unless it was openGL????

ks328 Thursday, December 17, 2009 4:14:30 PM

Presto 2.4+Carakan!

Ruarí Ødegaardruario Thursday, December 17, 2009 4:21:04 PM

@Daniel ????

Just because you are working from home that does not mean you can drink! wink

Ja`Nusz WuPLUser Thursday, December 17, 2009 4:21:51 PM

Yeee, Presto 2.4 in Vega, and possibly Carakan smile

Hopefully, we'll see Presto v2.4 on Tuesday, that'll tweak DOM step-through (since it's already in Mini/Mobile). wink

Carakan will be cool, too, but the inane artificial benchmarking advertising is getting old...but people believe them to accurately reflect real-world browsing, so...

Btw, if you want border-radius, it needs the upcoming Vega (vector graphics library) to enable...so please tone down the 95 posts about it every week.

Will we be finally getting Face Gestures? I've been waiting for that since almost a year back. You've announced it last year, if I'm not mistaken.

From what Jon Hicks has been saying on twitter, we can probably expect some major interface changes.

Matheusnom4d3br Thursday, December 17, 2009 5:43:41 PM

I guess it's the Presto 2.4

Øzikzakatak Thursday, December 17, 2009 5:50:07 PM
