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.
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!
Download
-
Windows MSI / Windows Classic
-
Mac (Intel) OS 10.5 or later
- Unix — in the very near future

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'.

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 :-)

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..

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.

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?
