wahoo, 12.00, themes, kiss kiss
...

Since Tunny has been released from the holding tank, we can now focus on Wahoo (Opera 12).
The changelog for this snapshot is mostly the same as the 11.60 changes since the previous Opera 12 build. In addition to that, there is a basic implementation of themes on Linux/FreeBSD and other themes fixes.
Kiss Kiss

!
Known issues
- The Mac build has a slightly higher build number: it fixes the issue below
The useragent string on Mac is broken, which may cause various site compatibility issues
- Window controls missing on Linux/FreeBSD after theme install
- Title bar is blue rather than themed on Linux/FreeBSD
- Themes may not apply correctly with Hardware Acceleration on in Linux/FreeBSD

wahoo, 12, damer, snapshot
...
Now, 8 days since Opera Swordfish is successfully hunting out in the deep, warm waters, with more than 32 000 000 downloads, we would like to use the opportunity to thank you all for the excellent help and support in making Opera 11.50 our most successful release ever!

And since the weather outside of Opera’s HQ is somewhat tropical (relatively warm, with pouring rains), our developers were able to catch one of the fastest tropical fishes in the world

So today we are happy to present you with the very first snapshot of our next major release, codenamed Wahoo (what will eventually become version 12). It’s currently in its
embryo pre-alpha state and only includes some important bug fixes and overall polishing, with all the fresh and juicy stuff coming a bit later

snapshot, swordfish, 11.50, friday
The Opera team have been working hard following our snapshot earlier today and we managed to get a few more fixes ready for further testing. We therefore thought we'd give you an even better snapshot to play with.

It contains all the improvements from the last one, plus those listed in the change log below. Check out the updated the proxy UI and the Opera Next fixes.
Let's us know what you think and any issues you find ... oh and have a great weekend!
Known Issues[/SIZE]
- Opera Next does not start from the application launcher in many popular Linux and FreeBSD Desktop Environments: To work around start from the terminal 'opera-next &'. Alternatively edit '/usr/share/applications/opera-next-browser.desktop' and change 'StartupNotify=true' to 'StartupNotify=false' and then log out and back into your Desktop Environment.

swordfish, click, snapshot, plug-in
Here's the next Opera Next. This Swordfish snapshot has another bunch of bug fixes and improvements for you, some eagerly awaited, and polishes the Speed Dial and Password Sync some more.
Opera was the first browser that gave you the option to load tabs in the background by holding Ctrl+Shift down while clicking. Now, you can do it with one key less, just Ctrl is enough. This change aligns this feature with how it works in other browsers. Just like with Ctrl+Shift, you can also hold the Ctrl-key while clicking bookmarks or the 'Search' option in the context menu of selected text, to make the resulting pages open in a background tab. Holding Shift while clicking links etc still opens in a new foreground tab.
Highlights[/SIZE]
- Manually zoom the Speed Dials to 30% (minimum zoom was 50%)
- Paste and Go in the search field will perform a search, instead of loading as an URL
- The 'On Demand Plugin' option is now available in Site Preferences
- Ctrl-click on a link to open it in a background tab (Ctrl+Shift-click will also still work for now)

snapshot, fixes, speed dial, Barracuda
Hello from the Opera Wroclaw team,
This snapshot adds more fixes to the new Barracuda Speed Dial, taking away the need to reload all the Speed Dial items on each and every zoom level change. Opera will now cache your thumbnails in the biggest size needed and resize them as requested, adding necessary padding. The thumbnails for pages with the "view-mode: minimized" media type will change their rendering viewport width when zoomed above 100%, and keep a fixed viewport when zoomed below that. We hope this will make your thumbnails readable regardless of the Speed Dial zoom level.
The build brings also some improvements to thumbnail quality; your favorite pages should now be nice and sharp.
We haven't just been working on Speed Dial, though. There's a new Core upgrade, Windows installer fixes, numerous crash fixes, and more!
As usual, this is still work in progress, so we count on your feedback to inform us about any problems you might encounter with this build.
And remember, this is not an April Fools' Day joke:
WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes, and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.Known Issues
- Upgrading from older Barracuda installations could cause Speed Dial thumbnail quality problems
- My Opera community Speed Dial may not finish loading on a clean install

stability, 11.01, snapshot
Hello, my name is Helge, and unlike Ruarí I have a life. That's why I don't post snapshots as often as him.
Here we go with another 11.01 snapshot with even more crash fixes. This build will hopefully fix the most annoying crashes from the last snapshot, for example logging in to vkontakte.ru
Please remember to give as much information as possible if you do experience a crash and you upload the log. Reproduction steps are always valuable.

performance, snapshot, damer, 10.70
This snapshot introduces our new startup and shutdown profiling. This is a tool for us to get an overview on what is causing slow startup and shutdowns for some users. We hope this tool will let us gather some data on where we should focus our efforts on further improving startup performance.
If the below instructions seem difficult then you probably should not attempt it. But if your comfortable with running the commands, and Opera is slow to startup or shutdown, then please follow the below instructions.
Instructions for Windows
- Press Windows key + R
- Drag the Opera shortcut from your Desktop or the opera.exe and drop it on the Run dialog
- Append "-profilinglog c:\log\opera.txt" after the path (as shown below)
- Wait for Opera to fully startup before you quit it
Instructions for Mac OS
- Run the Terminal application (locate using Spotlight)
- Drag the Opera application to Terminal
- Append "/Contents/MacOS/Opera -profilinglog ~/Desktop/opera.txt"
- Wait for Opera to fully startup before you quit it
Instructions for Linux
- Run "opera -profilinglog ~/opera.txt"
- Wait for Opera to fully startup before you quit it
You can then submit your
unmodified log file as a
text file attachment to DSK-314250@bugs.<yourfavoritebrowser>.com. Make sure to include it as an attachment and
not in the mail body as attachments will be easier for us to process in volume.
No personal information is stored in the logs. Full logs submitted as blog comments will be deleted.WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.Download

stability, rc, 10.61, snapshot
Many of the Opera desktop team have been away enjoying a well deserved summer holiday. In the mean time the rest of us have been looking at issues affecting 10.60.
We still intend to work towards a post 10.6x release (currently called 10.70). However, whilst you await that here is an initial release candidate for 10.61. It is exactly the same as 10.60 plus the fixes below.
WARNING: This is a development snapshot of Opera. It is released for testing purposes, and there may be serious bugs and unfinished features.Download

snapshot, 10.52
This build contains more NSL (Never Stops Loading) fixes, in addition to stability fixes and general bug fixing. We also have a partial IAccessible2 implementation on Windows.
Note: Please ensure that your comments are on-topic and relevant, descriptive, and yet somewhat brief. Avoid repeating things. For longer comments, use the forums instead, and avoid posting images inline (use links instead). Too many off-topic comments will just prevent us from being able to read through everything, and that prevents other people's feedback from being heard. There are only so many hours in a day...
