The Return of Hot Chocolate

By Daniel Aleksandersendaniel. Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:15:00 AM

, , , , ,

The Mac team has made a lot of progress with the Cocoa migration, and here is the snapshot release (and a screenshot) to prove it! It should be a much smoother ride now….

Presto has been upgraded to version 2.5.20 with improved stability and site compatibility fixes. Among the fixes are the crash when enabling fit-to-width, crash when opening a PDF, and the Acid3 and DOM performance regression from Saturday’s snapshot build.

wizard …bug
Our bug wizard is very interested in any serious bugs. We want to bring this up to beta quality fast, so please help us out by reporting the problems you encounter!


Update: If you are using Windows 7, you will notice that Opera shows a green progress bar behind the Opera icon in the Windows taskbar when downloading files. You can also Turn off opera:config#UserPrefs|UseWindows7TaskbarThumbnails to disable the Windows 7 taskbar thumbnails. Please note that a bug causes this setting to also disable the download progress bar behind the Opera icon.

Known issues
  • "Copy Link Address" doesn’t work
  • No <video> on Mac
  • Mac crash on start-up with IPv6 connectivity
  • Disabling Windows 7 taskbar thumbnails also disables download progress in the taskbar

This build still represents early work in progress; as before many things are known not to work. It can still annoy you, crash, and potentially wipe all your precious bookmarks. Backup first!

Thank you!
Is the 'copy link crash' / context menu bug also on the list of fixes?
(btw: looking forward to the return of detailed changelogs wink )
EDIT: see updated 'Known Issues'.

Selecting "Copy Link Address" still crashes Opera

codar Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:32:02 AM

There is a bug with text selection; double click/triple click on text to select it and copy it to clipboard using the right-click menu. ctrl-c does work.

Nice move forward, I like the new features and design a lot!

Thanks, I'll play around with this build :-)

Rafał MiłeckiZajec Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:39:45 AM

Ups, did Linux servers compiling Opera seriously crashed? smile Hey, I can not stand not testing Opera, not reporting bugs wink

zocario Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:41:30 AM

Thx you for this snapshot, but something's embarrassing me :
I'm in windows 7 pro, and i don't have jump list with opera 10.5 since the first pre alpha...
Is there someone else having this problem ?

GuilhermeSpyMan Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:41:31 AM

Google Reader is working again! Windows 7 x64.

Closing PDF document still hangs Opera.

Andylee Satomichaelpuermayr Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:46:57 AM

looking forward to next built!

Does mail work properly in this one... don't dare to try wink

GuilhermeSpyMan Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:47:08 AM

Windows 7 Jumplists still not working for me. Is it a known bug? Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I must be missing something then. Other jumplists works fine here, and I already made a clean install of Opera. confused awww

No, not today but hopefully not too long either.

Nope they build just fine. I commented on the reasons why there is no Linux build in the previous snapshot.

Harlekin Mondharlekinmond Wednesday, January 20, 2010 11:08:35 AM

Thank you very much for this Mac build even if there is a problem because of IPv6 connectivity smile
I'm dreaming to get fluid-scrolls like in Safari Mac love

Checked last post, all 6 pages of comments. Only 2 your comments on first page, not-Unix related. No way! wink

Domdom0410 Wednesday, January 20, 2010 11:29:44 AM

Ok 2 problems I have found:

Firstly on Facebook clicking on the Facebook status bar to view your online friends does not work, works fine in 10.2 beta.

And secondly finding words on a web page using ctrl+f is rather buggy. Some of the time it does not work at all and the way that it does a web search when you press enter instead of taking you to the next matching word in the page is counter-intuitive. If I want to do a web search I'll use the search box by the address bar, not press ctrl+f..

I looove hot choc in the morning! I forgive you for forgetting hurting us last Sunday. wink

Noticed that the thumbnail outlines for visual tabs-on-the-side are identical to the background color.

Nice speed bump finally on the Mac side!

Hope you can give some love to our Linux friends soon; v10.5 is going to be a great release that will make others sit up.

Very smooth scrolling here. Any certain page that it's jerky?

Looked over "Preparing for takeoff" comments and found nothing about this. I'm likely blind.

I usually use Opera beta builds as my main browser. Now, middle mouse scrolling broken I feel so 90's when mouses had only buttons :|

Back to 10.10.

It wouldn't be the KDE integration, would it? bigsmile Because what would a beta version mean, without all it's new and shining features.

Robert MeijersRobert90 Wednesday, January 20, 2010 12:15:06 PM

Looks like the ACID3 tests fails realy hard on the reference rendering, the text is a lot smaller then in the reference rendering.

Andrew Samandrewsam Wednesday, January 20, 2010 12:17:28 PM

Geez "in the very near future" almost sounds like past tense! Come on guys give us some 10.5 love for Linux.

The windows build though certainly has progressed. Hats off to your hardworking team!

Scrolling with momentum (Magic Mouse feature) doesn’t work all that well yet. It is a known issue.
