Barracuda Release Candidate
By Haavardhaavard. Wednesday, April 6, 2011 6:30:00 PM
Since we first introduced Opera 11.10 "Barracuda", you have seen a couple of new features, countless bugfixes, and lots of snapshots. The result of all this work is soon about to culminate in the final release of Barracuda.
Today we present you with a Barracuda Release Candidate.
This RC adds additional fixes to make Barracuda even more stable and streamlined. Several more crash bugs have been fixed, we have continued to polish Speed Dial, and there are numerous other fixes in there as well.
We have also reduced Opera's power consumption on Windows Vista and 7 when the computer is running on battery. This means that benchmark scores may be lower on battery power alone, so make sure you plug in the power cord before running any benchmarks!
At this point, we are mostly interested in any major new problems or issues. We will of course continue to work on future versions even as we release Barracuda from its holding tank, so any fixes that didn't make it are candidates for a future version.
But for now, please focus on possible release blockers for Barracuda. That will make it a lot easier for everyone when browsing through the comments.
Thanks for the testing so far!
Known issues
Note: Before reporting any possible release blockers, please consider doing a clean install to verify if it still happens there. Some problems seem to be caused by "dirty" installations of snapshots on top of older snapshots with experimental code.

One regression:
DSK-329591 (Right-click text box menu appears after close of several right-click menus (Notes, Mail, Chat))
Still present on the mail window here. Win7 32bit.
Quite annoying.

It was a known issue in the early Snapshots and hasn't been addressed yet. Thanks!

I guess I could be rude and spam forums with post embedding crashing SVG images. I do not want to be, but you should not leave such a dangerous bug. Every forum member allowed to embed images can crash Opera visitors.

again: if you use content blocker (like fanboys urlfilter.ini) and you have on-demand plug-ins enabled it shows the placeholder instead of hiding it at all.
for example on http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/index.php
(may reload page to get some flash ads; problem is just with flash ads/content)
this: http://666kb.com/i/bsezq17m742ievera.jpg
when you klick on the placeholder they disappear completely (like it should be from the start)

This RC still has a blocking regression that will force me to stick to older versions of Opera (or switch to another browser) unless it is fixed. The problem is with client certificate authentication - the snapshots seem to refuse to send the certificate to the server, so all I get is a "403 Forbidden" page. I have reported the bug as DSK-332639, but I realize that this may not be enough information to reproduce the problem. I don't know if I can trust your bug submission form with private information. If you're interested, please let me know and I'll send you everything required to reproduce the problem.

Also, still buggy is the Google web toolkit support. Broken since 11.01.

Thumbnails are 4:3 on my 16:9 display.This is with clean instalation(usb insall type).On my Opera 11.01 thumbnails are 16:9.windows xp sp3 on msi u100,1024x600 screen resolution.
whit 7 columns manual setting the speed dial goes out of the screen.This happens with either automatic or manual zoom setting,because the lowest zoom level is 50%.When i set this level below 50% from opera:config it resets to 100%.
Some strings in the speed dial config dialog are not translated to bulgarian.

Also there seems to be no way to makes maximum zoomed images default (I find I more often need full sized picture than scaled one, this auto scaling gives me gray hair with all this clicking around).
The installer defaults to my operating systems language even when I'm updating over the old installation so I had to manually change the language again in the installer. Not big deal but has this all ways been like this? I mean why on earth would I suddenly want to change my language if I'm just updating.
Win7, installed over previous build, didn't try clean install.

Speed Dial:
- still blue background
- on a 6r x 5c, 70% zoom fills page better, but bottom of 5th row thumbnails are off page; 60% gets 5 rows + part of 6th on screen, with lots of empty space
- the following thumbnails are picking up top left only:
http://rawstory.com/
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/tgr.dml
What slider is being referred to in the bug fix, "DSK-332294 Zoom slider operates only between 20-100% with 1% jump?" I've only seen one on the new Speed Dial and that has 10% jumps. I wish both page zoom and SD zoom allowed at least 5% adjustments.
