On a roll: Opera 10.51 for Windows released

By Haavardhaavard. Monday, March 22, 2010 10:00:00 AM

Opera 10.51 (build 3315) for Windows has been released.

Now even faster than before!

For example, Peacekeeper can be up to 20-30% faster than in Opera 10.50 (in fact, Opera 10.51 is currently listed as being part of the fastest system at Peacekeeper). Read more about the performance improvements at Choose Opera and the Opera Developer Network (you can also read about how Google's tests show that Opera has the most compliant JavaScript engine).

This release also addresses a couple of security issues, as well as various stability improvements and other bug fixes. Please see the changelog for more details.


Opera 10.51 final is a Windows-only release, but we are working hard on bringing the Mac and Unix versions to product quality. The build is the same as RC3.

As this is a security release, it will be available as an automatic update for Opera 10.50 and older versions that support automatic updates.

Great party

Since this is mainly a security update, I'm looking forward for future releases that contain new features wink.

But Mac and Unix first.

Phaniphanikumarseelam Monday, March 22, 2010 10:35:39 AM

Congrats. 10.51 is much better than version 10.5. I think it was a good decision to release 10.5 in time for the Browser choice screen and then fix the most urgent bugs with this release. up

Publisher Monday, March 22, 2010 10:39:27 AM

no changes until RC3 and final? sad
it's still not possible to move links direct to a folder in the Sidebar.
Opera have a very high ram usage. The evil is, when you close some tabs, it doesn't will less usage.

When will the Windows Native skin become Windows Native again?

In any case at least this release is a lot better than the original 10.50 release.

MartinMastermind1 Monday, March 22, 2010 10:44:28 AM

Awesome!!!
Downloading right now.

Thank you Opera Team.

NicoHellbillyDeluxe Monday, March 22, 2010 10:45:01 AM

@ AgentCROCODILE:

I think they shall remove the native skin, since the standard skin is more native now than the native skin.

dirkthetomster Monday, March 22, 2010 10:45:06 AM

up cool

Great !
This bug is also corrected but not in the changelog "Mouse gestures disabled when no tabs"

Great reactivity ! smile

Can't get http://mrdoob.com/120/Harmony_HTML5 to work properly in Opera. Chrome 5 dev and FF 3.6 works fine.

Why does the search bar have to be so wide ? It's all over the page. Can't your make it narrow like in version 10.10 ? Also progress bar sometimes gets stretched.

One more thing, sometimes you can't paste new text on top of the old.

Kai OckendorfOckendorf Monday, March 22, 2010 11:04:36 AM

When will Fast Forward with Button7 work again? Still doesn't work even after modifying the command.

HanShenghansheng Monday, March 22, 2010 11:31:12 AM

Thanks~` jester

mjpa Monday, March 22, 2010 11:33:35 AM

Can anyone say if the middle clicking / copy link address still caches redirected URLs incorrectly? And if the flickering while scrolling still exists? And finally, if double clicking the tab bar still causes the page to lose focus?

Lito Monday, March 22, 2010 11:41:31 AM

Still present. Did you file a bug report about it?

Happens to me from time to time.

I'm not sure about this one. What do you mean? If I double click the tab bar I get a new empty tab.

Rui Costarpsgc Monday, March 22, 2010 11:41:38 AM

It's the same build as RC3 confused

If your mouse software allows, assign the keystroke "alt+right arrow" to that button for Opera. I've been using that since 10.5 to make the mouse 'forward' button behave the way it used to.

For instance, the speed dial pages may not load on the first click, you might have to click twice.

Final = RC3 (r3315). Thus, YES, that bug is still there... A bit annoying bug...

Yep, reported in the pre-beta stages I think, it's DSK-282518.

Double click the tab bar, new tab appears, move the cursor to over the new page content (eg the speed dial entries) and the first click you do doesn't register nor do any hover effects.

kimyu92 Monday, March 22, 2010 11:47:56 AM

pls show changelog since rc3
thx. up

mrd Monday, March 22, 2010 11:48:33 AM

The speed thing... is really getting a bit ridiculous.

Fast is good but I just ran Peacekeeper just for the heck of it and broke 10k, 10409.

I think at the start of the 10.5x branches I was hitting around 7000 or so so that's some crazy improvement.

Asires Monday, March 22, 2010 11:51:30 AM

good up
