Wait, new snapshot for Windows too?

Joelspadija Friday, March 5, 2010 3:47:11 PM

Is it just the core fixes that are new in the Windows snapshot?

There are core and carakan fixes that would interest Windows users.

Mac Universal Binary is back!


yes

oke Friday, March 5, 2010 3:50:39 PM

Why didn't they at least mention the Windows changes in the change log?

They always mentioned MAC and Linux changes in the log when they were still prioritizing the Windows 10.5 release

QuHno Friday, March 5, 2010 3:50:53 PM

Thanks, downloading smile

porneL Friday, March 5, 2010 3:51:02 PM

Link to intel-only Mac build is broken (or you're so awesome that you've compressed Opera down to 2KB).

petos515 Friday, March 5, 2010 3:51:20 PM

The Mac (Intel-Only) is a 2.2kb download… something is wrong there….

PraetorianX Friday, March 5, 2010 3:53:34 PM

I'll take it! smile Nice to see a new build!

There were no Windows-specific changes? The only changes on Windows version were the changes listed under Core, and as far as I see those applied to all versions (Windows, Mac, Unix), so there were no Windows-specific changes, so no use for Windows-specific part in changelog either.

wtf! Opera on steroids.....new snapshot? Do you devs sleep? smile

Onecar Friday, March 5, 2010 4:01:33 PM

I made a quick (very quick) test about TinyMCE crashing Opera and it looks like that Carakan fix helped. No more crashes so far, hope it stays this way :-).

Not much.

dupel Friday, March 5, 2010 4:07:43 PM

Not a really windows version (meaning no skin fixes, etc) but I guess most of windows dev team is on very much deserved holiday =)

Good to hear about Mac (though I dont use it) and thanks for core updates, especially Carakan =)

Kiuzekiuze Friday, March 5, 2010 4:10:04 PM

Still about 2 times slower rendering (all) pages on my 3.06 Ghz C2D iMac running 10.6.2 than Firefox 3.6. Both with clean profile.

dupel Friday, March 5, 2010 4:10:42 PM

Btw, if it fixes issues with facebook, it might be a good idea to update the final build everyone is downloading =)

Can we have a fix for the widget platform?

I have some web apps which I've encapsulated in iframes to turn them into widgets. However, their external links don't work.

In fact, this is the same situation as the Twitter widget from Opera widgets. If you click a link in someone's update, it won't work.

If there's another solution I can apply, let me know smile

solvpilen Friday, March 5, 2010 4:15:18 PM

The context menu is working fine now in almost every sites:) But I have a problem on TinyMce, I have tried support forum but the admin says it an Opera issue?

Fix for extensive CPU usage and slow down on MAC is no, but please too for Windows. e.g. scrolling
amapy.cz still not working

woohoo...

Dennis TardioTardio Friday, March 5, 2010 4:32:35 PM

Bookmarks still very slow to be loaded at startup or it's fixed ?

On Opera 10.50 final (and win7 32bits):
I've 2900+ bookmarks, and I've to wait 6-10 seconds before Opera loaded them. Ok I can use Opera during this 6-10 seconds, but I can't use my bookmarks so finally I can't really use Opera...

So I can't use Opera because with this problem, Opera 10.50 is the slower browser (start up time).
No problem with 10.10.

And what about the systray icon ?

Jernej Simončičеnder Friday, March 5, 2010 4:46:47 PM

Windows Native skin is still ugly, and alert() boxes still have unreadable text.

Gabrielggab Friday, March 5, 2010 4:50:57 PM

I have one FOR ME, BIG problem... (and i heard since the beginning of the pre-alpha releases and they're still there... )

BUG: I like to have a single place to close tabs. When I unclick "show close button on each tab" I don't get a close "X" in the standard place (upper right)...I get no close "x" at all and have to center click on a tab to close it.

clean install 10.50 final, original bug report, and later upgrade to this build, and the same bug is still there
Version 10.50 Build 3298
Platform
Win32 System Windows XP

Dustin WilsonKhadgar Friday, March 5, 2010 4:58:13 PM

Status Tooltips on links still seemingly disappear when the status bar is disabled. Same behavior on Mac OS X 10.5 PowerPC and Mac OS X 10.6 Intel. I haven't been able to pinpoint what's causing it. Dumping preferences makes them come back for a bit, but eventually they stop showing up.

This has been said many times on here. It's not going to work. Youtube uses H.264, and only Chrome and Safari support those. It won't work on Firefox either.

EricJH Friday, March 5, 2010 5:01:53 PM

Thanks again for the new build.sherlock

Please get some rest. You have worked hard enough to deserve a vacation as far as I am concerned.up

Morphdreamer Friday, March 5, 2010 5:03:08 PM

So.. Windows build is snapshot for 10.51 or what?

unknownFlex2k9 Friday, March 5, 2010 5:06:09 PM

Middle mouse click and scroll not functioning.. Anyone confirm this on Windows 7 32?
Never mind. But it really wasn't working a minute ago.

John BarnettJohn164 Friday, March 5, 2010 5:14:02 PM

I shut that kid up... or down... depending on how you look at it.

I am not able to play NASA videos from www.nasa.gov on Opera, or Chrome or FF.... works only in IE8 ...

AK-47pro Friday, March 5, 2010 5:27:14 PM

Geez! Please fix DSK-277964 - Text and elements inside plugins can be transparent instead of black, making it hard to read. <cry> <cry>
Please, please, please... :C
