Opera 10.50 for Windows is released
By Ruarí Ødegaardruario. Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:02:08 AM
In the last couple of blog posts, several of you commented that our developers deserve some time off and whilst that is true, I know the Mac and UNIX teams are still hungry to get their own versions of 10.50 out. So there will be no slacking off, just yet. Development continues apace!
Whilst you Mac and UNIX users await your respective finals, we thought we'd give you another snapshot. Like the Windows final, these builds have the latest rendering improvements but are understandably still rougher around the edges, as they have not yet been fully optimised and integrated into their environments (though Mac is getting close).
Highlights- The latest Presto and Carakan improvements
-
Mac
- No support for PowerPC (PPC)
- Minimal Java Support
- Possible performance issues on low end machines
-
UNIX
- Font problems
- Language input issues
- Compiz issues
- No .deb or .rpm packages
- Some Command line option don't work

Is the hardware accelerated back-end of Vega already implemented and enabled in Opera 10.50, or is it still working in software only mode?

I wish you good luck for the Mac/Linux versions.

And ... I reiterate this known problem. For me the biggest issue is the font problem. I don't mind if some menus are not working, or if some graphical elements are out of place ... but some pages are pretty hard to read.
Please focus your Linux development on making Opera render fonts in an acceptable way and I think you will have lot more users using it and reporting precious feedback.
PS: Good work on the Windows Release!

Opera is already fast with Vega in software rendering. The future looks bright....

I have different bookmark folders for different things. Maybe one is a list of references for a certain project and another is a list for another project. Now what if both projects have a reference in common? What am I supposed to do now? This is a serious problem.
You really need to consider that some people use bookmarks in a more complex way than just sticking in 10 or 20 links to places they go every day. I use bookmarks to keep lists of sites I'll need to return to at a later point for any number of reasons, and it's a big problem if one site is forbidden from appearing in more than one list. There are other bookmark issues as well that are really severe, like the whole thing being extremely slow unless I disable opera:config#OperaSync|SyncBookmarks, and deleting a single bookmark resulting in the whole tree collapsing. I feel that you guys are really neglecting this feature, but it is absolutely critically important to the way lots of people browse. Please address these issues, as I cannot upgrade as it stands. I would never have believed that regressive bookmark behavior could stop me from using Opera, but somehow it happened. Again, PLEASE look at these issues, I don't want to be forced to use another browser for such stupid reasons.

what happened now is that i allowed cookies, logged in,
but at the next page load the cookies were disabled again...
admittedly i am using a 10.20 profile directory and more
glitches like this are to be expected. i will have to create
a profile dir from scratch and move my stuff step by step...

There is a bug that I think would not be too hard to fix:
Opera 10.50 final still opens UDP port 1900 even when Unite is disabled and UPnP and Service Discovery settings disabled in opera:config. I hope this will be fixed so the unnecessary open ports and traffic can be ended. There are threads in the forums talking about it, like these:

You could mention more subtle problems in this blog post (for a short while, not much use if comments reach the high numbers again), I wouldn't bother with obvious problems on the main distros right now.Originally posted by dzek69:
Yes, this happens to all upgraders that have customized the buttons on their status bar. The upgrade adds new sub-toolbars on the left and right of the status bar replacing the previous content of the default status bar, but doesn't remove items from existing customized status toolbars.Espenher # Tuesday, March 2, 2010 3:43:15 PM
Anyway, this build seems stable and nice so far

1. Sometimes Opera only shows download window for Unite App but nothing ain't downloaded.
2. Even if I will install Application, it will not work at all (Error 404)
3. Opera Link freezes Opera when synchronizing bookmarks, and after Opera close Synchronization Window freezes.

Some bugs in this unix version (and maybe previous too), running Ubuntu 9.10 x64:
- Can't press space to select/deselect checkboxes when focused.
- When pressing OK in preferences after changing a setting, the menu bar becomes visible.
- When adding a new speed dial page, the text in the address field is cleared when the suggestion box appears.
- When dragging a tab with right mouse button, the tab isn't released when the button is.
- When moving window with alt+mouse button, and releasing mouse button before alt, the menu opens.
Is this known bugs? I haven't reported them to the bug tracker yet.

Is it marketing departments do the jobs..?
it is very unlikely to Google Chrome.. having video demonstrate how that features works...
the user more like watching video than reading the prescription of features Opera 10.5 .. it so static...
we want more video... not just the graph display who is faster or who not!
The Opera Company not promote enough on the browser....
so pity..!
