Crash fixing, performance work, and widgets in a panel
By Haavardhaavard. Thursday, February 18, 2010 3:21:43 PM
We are focusing a lot on stability at the moment, and have fixed some of the most frequent crash bugs. Keep those crash logs coming, though!
Our core team has also tweaked class selector matching (CSS) performance a bit (a quick test showed performance gains of up to 20-30% for the specific testcase I used).
This build has a new panel for widgets which allows you to launch and uninstall widgets from within the browser. Widgets will still use the Windows installation system, but it will be much easier to keep track of which widgets you have installed.
To get an idea about why widgets are important, look at how a lot of big companies are looking to standardize on widgets for cross-platform applications.
There will not be a detailed changelog this time around since we are mostly focusing on crashes and the new widgets panel.
Finally, you will have to wait a bit more for Mac and Unix builds due to the work that is being done on those platforms.

Do I take it that this is further work on native OS integration? :-)

but a question,we will see further changes in the interface?

Find "Widget_notification_checkbox" (there are two lines with that string next to each other) and remove ", End" from first line.

1. Is there a plan to fix opera mail issues?
E.g.
(a) LDAP Support for contacts (such as Outlook address book).
(b) Hotmail imap as in windows live mail interface?
2. Will NTLM be fully supported as in IE?

Anyways I think I'm gonna skip trying this rev or 2, and wait for a few more fixes to general stuff.
Like scrolling the windows corrupts the background on some pages.
Javascript issues.
That's mainly what I'm waiting for, something that's as good as v10.10 was at least.
Hoping for better later on though.
Continue the good work dudes, it's appreciated
Looking forward to the day where I can really use it in win7 as my main.
Those darned javascript regressions though..., that's what is holding me back.

And scrolling in textareas in forms (try reporting an opera bug, write more than 3/4 lines and scroll up and down) results in invisible text.

The Advanced section of the Preferences dialog is corrupted

All the widgets installed from 10.50 beta (3248 build) should be visible in the widgets panel after upgrading to this build.
Widgets from older versions should also be visible unless you have upgraded them (via Upgrade dialog) before 10.50 beta build.
How it is in your case?

I don't think it's a good idea tu use registry for widget panel. Why not a way to manually add EXE files by drag and drop from the widgets folder
