Opera Desktop Team

The Return of Hot Chocolate

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

, , , , ,

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 ;) )
EDIT: see updated 'Known Issues'.

Selecting "Copy Link Address" still crashes Opera

codar 20. January 2010, 10:32

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!

That would be nice. Still waiting for new linux version... :pingu:

Adrien 20. January 2010, 10:39

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

Rafał Miłecki 20. January 2010, 10:39

Ups, did Linux servers compiling Opera seriously crashed? :) Hey, I can not stand not testing Opera, not reporting bugs ;)

zocario 20. January 2010, 10:41

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 ?

Guilherme 20. January 2010, 10:41

Google Reader is working again! Windows 7 x64.

Aleksander Aas 20. January 2010, 10:42

Awesome sauce!

sabisan 20. January 2010, 10:46

Closing PDF document still hangs Opera.

michaelpuermayr 20. January 2010, 10:46

looking forward to next built!

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

Guilherme 20. January 2010, 10:47

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

copy link address related crash is driving me nuts. :)

Mouse middle click for scrolling still broken... (Win2008r2 and Win2003)

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 Mond 20. January 2010, 11:08

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

Ar1Pe 20. January 2010, 11:11

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

MGillespie 20. January 2010, 11:25

Can the Known Issues list be more comprehensive please.

I'm not sure if i should report the inability to copy text from the context menu... If it mentioned it as a known issue, then I wouldn't.

It should be easy enough to maintain, create a "top 20" known issues, when they get fixed, take them off, add new ones in their place. That way you only get new stuff reported, not the same old same old...


Otherwise this seems to fix many of the problems of the previous build, which was a bit crashy at times. It would be nice to see a fix for copy link address, as that's bug hurt for me right now, making it hard to use these builds as my day to day browser.. Hoping when the Linux builds arrive, there will be another refresh of the Win and Mac builds :-)

Dom 20. January 2010, 11:29

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..

FreeBrain 20. January 2010, 11:30

Wasn't expecting it! COOL!... :)

I can feel it getting better already...

hcym 20. January 2010, 11:30

in the very near future

Kamalesh 20. January 2010, 11:36

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

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? :D Because what would a beta version mean, without all it's new and shining features.

Robert90 20. January 2010, 12:15

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

Andrew Sam 20. January 2010, 12:17

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!

news.bbc.co.uk search box at top is all black except for the left edge, should be white so we can see the text. Has this been reported?
