"Improve Carakan memory usage compared to Futhark"
up that's good to hear that, i hated to read reviews stating that Opera 10.5 is the worst on memory management.

Asires Saturday, March 13, 2010 11:22:23 PM

Time for the test up

Was browser.js permanantly disabled in the last version and this? I can't seem to enable it.

I encountered the following bug with Opera 10.50/51 under Windows XP SP3: when I click a link in another program when Opera is not running, the link is not always opened correctly. I observed the following:

- If Opera was closed the previous time with a web page displayed in a tab, the link that was clicked is correctly opened in a new tab after Opera has started again

- If Opera was closed the previous time with only a single tab which displays SpeedDial (so not a web page), the link that was clicked is not opened; instead, Opera only displays the SpeedDial tab.

Can anyone confirm?

Daniel HendrycksDanielHendrycks Saturday, March 13, 2010 11:39:58 PM

Very good speed improvement. I got +600 points (on Peackeeper) more than the best result I have ever recorded. But, could you please finish the system integration, there are just a few small things left.

DSK-276834 (Ini file variables no longer working: %s, %t, %c, %u, %l)

I expected this bug would have been fixed. sad

This one solved my performance degrade, and is again faster than 10.50

@Staff

Do you want us to say regressions from Opera 10.1 in this post?

The resize cursor stays like the resize cursor icon after hovering over a resizable place then hovering over some other place. This is a Vega bug. I noticed this since 10.5 pre-alpha but it is not yet fixed. Example: Help>Check for updates>hover over glass outline>move the cursor elsewhere>see it?

Horizontal scrolling still not working with my Logitech MX1000.

Bookmarks load time is slower than Opera 10.10.

Good job.

Ah, so now we'll finally see a 10.5× release hit the auto-update servers wink

Lucero Jr.Luxer88 Sunday, March 14, 2010 12:03:19 AM

Will try it on my laptop.

Thanks for the hard work!

Incorrect work site Google Translate - http://translate.google.ru / http://translate.google.com, pop-up element of Google Translate (when you hover on the word / sentence) is superimposed on the page, making it difficult to view.

Both are different installers. For me, Windows Classic is a faster installer and it is a lighter download too. But, Windows MSI is prettier.

I never observed it with such details, but, yes, as far as I have noticed it, if I open a link on an external program while Opera is closed, Opera will simply open with speed dial (as I set it to open), not the link.
BTW, I saw this on Mac, never tested on Windows.

On other versions, Opera would open speed dial on the first tab and the link on a second tab (a behaviour I always thought to be quite weird as well).

Can you tell your PC specs? Thanks.

Lucero Jr.Luxer88 Sunday, March 14, 2010 12:36:03 AM

Talking about performance, I got a slight increase on the overall peacekeeper results with this RC here on my laptop.

Some specific items have decayed a little, though.

For what it's worth, my single-cored acer rather sh-tty laptop has gotten a solid 2801 score and I'm utterly proud of him. love

Avola Sunday, March 14, 2010 12:44:02 AM

Good stuff, the peacekeeper results on this one are excellent. I don't have any new bugs to report, but I wish you would fix the small artifacts on zoomed pages bug that's been around since early pre-alphas.

Sulphide Sunday, March 14, 2010 12:44:09 AM

wow! peacekeeper 6923 marks on my phenom II 925, slightly overclocked bigsmile great work!
previous build gave me only 5700 marks...

Bill_Josephsbjosephs Sunday, March 14, 2010 12:44:19 AM

The red close "x" is still not there when "show close buttons on each tab" is unchecked, and the %u parameter from the standard_menu.ini is still not working for passing links to flashget. I don't mean to sound unappreciative...your efforts are awesome... it's just that we want perfection, IMMEDIATELY:D bigsmile bigsmile

This page is still sending Opera's memory usage nuts...

http://www.business.brookes.ac.uk/postgraduate/Scholarships.asp?err404=postgraduate/scholarships.html

Please check into this, I've noticed similar behaviour on a few other sites as well.

Original post from 10.5 RC5 build here.

Also have noticed a few times on multiline text input controls (like this one), Opera gets confused about some text which shunts off the bottom, and I can't scroll to it. The only fix is to scroll up, cut-paste some text, and scroll down again. Can't find exact circumstances to reproduce this, but have had it quite a few times here.

Another brilliant release smile A huge speed-up (40%) compared to 10.50 in Peacekeeper drives me crazy bigsmile

It'll be great if Opera could complete this test without a failure.
