linux, hotfix, easter
…come by three, they say
The
new UNIX build should now fix the crashers several people were still seeing after
updating libX11 and running the last hotfix.
Hope this is it, for this busy Easter "vacation"
- and thanks again for all the feedback!

linux, hotfix, easter
It's Easter time - but we are busy…
Yesterday we issued a
hotfix for a crash on startup caused by a recent update on several Linux distros of libX11, to patch CVE-2007-1667. A few users reported some sideeffects - we have
a better fix for you now.
Thanks for all the quick feedback - enjoy the new build, and Happy Easter!

hotfix, linux
After updating to new X libs on some Linux distros, Opera stopped working. We are looking into the issue, and in the meantime we have a
hotfix ready for you.
Happy Easter!
If you do not want to install a weekly release but continue running version 9.1, you can change the "DefaultDepth" option to 16 in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, as this will also work around the problem. Download:

WEEKLY, easter egg
After a
boring weekend we're finally allowed to be funny again
Personally I really look forward to the
dress as a troll day, hope to bring you pictures of that
In the meantime, here's a new build with minor fixes all over the place. Our QA is too busy testing to even write a changelog, so finding the fixes will be our way of hunting easter eggs, I guess...
Known issue- The .6 rpm doesn't start on Linux. You can fix it by replacing
"OPERA_BINARYDIR=/usr/lib/opera/9.20-20070403.10/" with
"OPERA_BINARYDIR=/usr/lib/opera/9.20-20070403.6/"
in the startup script "/usr/bin/opera"
Known changelog- Further improvements to flash 9 plug-in on UNIX

WEEKLY
Привет всем нашим пользователям! Сегодня моя очередь объявлять еженедельный выпуск, поэтому я напишу по-русски. Спасибо пользователям из России за поддержку! Теперь у вас есть свой человек в Desktop Team. :-)
Самое важное в новом выпуске — исправления, касающиеся Flash 9 под Linux. Теперь видео с YouTube можно смотреть в полноэкранном режиме! (Ещё можно закрывать надоедливую Flash-рекламу.)
Другие изменения
- Добавлен автоматический поиск из адресной строки при вводе более одного слова;
- Оформление Speed Dial оптимизировано по скорости;
- В запросах BitTorrent появилась поддержка необязательного «ключа», это означает, что больше торрентов будут работать;
- Исправлены проблемы с прозрачными областями в некоторых виджетах под UNIX;
- Появились пакеты .6 для архитектуры ppc-linux, которые будут (ну, должны) работать на PS3, если вы поставили туда Linux!
Now in English…Hello to all our users! Today it's my turn to announce the weekly build, so why don't I post in Russian? Thanks to the Russian users for your support. Now you have an insider in Desktop Team! :-)
The most important is that we've fixed some issues with Flash 9 on Linux. This means that you can now watch YouTube video fullscreen! (And close annyoing Flash ads.)
Other changes
- Added support for automatic search from address bar when entering more than one word;
- Some speed optimizations in the Speed Dial skin;
- Added support for the optional “key” in BitTorrent requests, should make more torrent downloads work;
- Fixed issue with transparent areas in some widgets on UNIX;
- we have now ppc-linux .6 packages: that means that they work (okay, should work) on your PS3! — if you installed Linux on it.

- Fixed title for redirected pages in speed dial

Known issue- This week only lasted one day, sorry about that

pc-bsd, baobab, linux, Opera
Two important things have happend this last week on the UNIX front of our desktop team:
It started on
monday with PC-BSD
announcing that it will deliver Opera in the next version of PC-BSD. Opera will be "one less thing you need to download after installation", as Matt Olander, CTO of
iXsystems puts it, to get "a more usable system" out of your
PC-BSD box.
And today we had our
second big announcement:
Baobab and
Opera have
joined forces in an innovative project to provide the technology to combat HIV.
The solution is based on using a stripped-down Linux distribution on low-end hardware with a touchscreen. One of the main concerns is of course performance and footprint: but even just the plain desktop version is an
ideal solution on low-end hardware.
It is a significant step for us: it is "a first step towards using Opera to power the projects that promote progress in the developing world", as Håkon Wium Lie, CTO of Opera, puts it. There are more steps to do…
P.S. Some community members have already asked how they can help the Baobab project: you can help them out with a charitable donation - they have a button
on their site.
