Stability fixes are coming your way! We are looking into releasing an update to Merlin: 9.26. It will address several stability issues, mainly on Mac where we have received several reports that we have been having trouble to reproduce. So, feedback from you is welcome! Furthermore, we are fixing a stability issue with TLS and the upcoming Windows 2008 Server (IIS 7).

We are also addressing a few security issues; details will be published in due time.

Mozilla notified us of one security issue ( ) the day before they published their public advisory ( ). They did not wait for us to come back with an ETA for a fix: they kept their bug reports containing the details of the exploits closed to the public for a few days, and now opened most of them to everybody ( ).

Opera is as always committed to not only protecting its users, but to making the Web a safe place. We believe in responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities affecting several vendors.
