Merlin, build, Opera, WEEKLY
Again I would like to thank you for helping us bring Opera 9 to beta level.
The reason we had to use the second-last build for beta was that we included more fixes in that build than we planned, which again reopened earlier bugs on our regression testing list (which we simply don't accept in a public delivery).
The weekly build today should contain the best of both: The stability enhancements from the last build, but without the regressions since the beta. Oh, and mouse gestures don't crash in Widgets anymore...
Next week you should look forward to a rougher ride again as we plan many, many fixes and improvements

We have to postpone this weekly until after the weekend. We've made quite a bit of progress, but have a few loose ends to finish before we can present it to you all.
Hope you will not be too bored this weekend
