More stability and speed

By toman. Tuesday, 10. July 2007, 14:56:12

We're in a bittorrent bugfix mode right now, so this new build on the 9.22 branch is both faster with high speed peers, and more stable.

Remember to break this "weekly"

Woohoo!

By G-off, # 10. July 2007, 15:41:35

ahhh classic!

By philry4n, # 10. July 2007, 15:42:06

good!!!!!!!!!! wanting for 9.5

By gustavo pedra, # 10. July 2007, 15:44:49

Opera's "weakest" component is, in fact, its bittorrent capabilities (tho in Linux, second to its plugin integration, oh if Linux only had more than 0.2% of the market) ; has it gotten significantly better since the olden days? I would LOVE to make Opera my BT default, if it was even HALF as fast as uTorrent manages =3

By MukiEX, # 10. July 2007, 15:47:20

Yay new weekly...

Hmm.. my webserver (with azureus) is currently downloading one really slow torrent and there is over 900mb downloaded. Should I try to download that same torrent over the 100/100 ethernet connection? Well.. Let's try it.

Waiting the first relase of 9.5...

By MrFukov, # 10. July 2007, 15:47:27

oooooh, nice

By taussick, # 10. July 2007, 15:48:00

Wooohooo

By Darken, # 10. July 2007, 15:48:24

@MukiEX: Then you're certainly trying out this build, right?

By toman, # 10. July 2007, 15:48:41

Thanks Guys, at least we can play a little bit before kestrel

Waiting for Kestrel

Nice build #8800.

By Tamil, # 10. July 2007, 15:57:44

The Windows side looks good. I'm on a 1.5Mbps DSL connection, and I'm downloading a 1+GB torrent, and it's coming down at 80+KBps. While that's less than half of my total bandwidth, it's still faster than Opera's BitTorrent client has ever performed on any of my computers.

Thanks for the hard work guys.

By Janocha, # 10. July 2007, 16:21:35

Is there any other changes but bittorrent, is there a reason for me (i don't use bittorrent) to try this weekly? (I've 9.21 final installed)

By Jazmo, # 10. July 2007, 16:26:55

/me downloads the classic build before it gets stolen again!

By BAMAToNE, # 10. July 2007, 16:27:07

Good work guys, the problems that I was having with flash in the last build are also fixed

I think you need to do a lot more work on CSS3 instead of Bittorrent though! Shouldn't implementation of CSS3 be high on the list?

By navarr, # 10. July 2007, 16:34:54

Great !!!
I hope to have a surprise on friday...

By SoulOfDoinel, # 10. July 2007, 16:42:01

@SoulOfDoinel: If you're hoping for a Kestrel build on Friday, there won't be one.

@navarr: We're working on CSS3 stuff for Kestrel, not Merlin. Merlin is receiving maintenance fixes only.

By Junyor, # 10. July 2007, 16:44:10

BT pings much faster than before.

By martintang007, # 10. July 2007, 16:46:31

ATTENTION! SUGGESTION
On my keyboard installed 4 langs and I have a big trouble with it when I try to type an any internet address. And I ask you to add an option that could switch a keyboard lang to english when I put a mouse's cursor to address bar and restore lang setting when I go out from address bar.

I would like to listen yours (Opera's dev & blog's visitors) opinions about this feature.

P.S. I think, it will be very usefull and necessary feature for all who uses more than 1-2 lang at the time.

By tsarhan, # 10. July 2007, 16:48:09

I gave it a try but it is still to slow for me. I'm sticking to utorrent.

By Michael83815, # 10. July 2007, 17:11:29

ATTENTION! SUGGESTION #2
Please, add in the new Opera functions of auto-cleaning (not only manual) all private data on closing Opera, like in FireFox.

QUESTION to Opera's Dev:
Will you or Adobe update Opera's modules in CS3 when you'll release Opera 9.5 (Kestrel)?

By tsarhan, # 10. July 2007, 17:13:24

I was trying to download a 800MB linux file and was seeing 1.2k/s

With the new build I'm at 60k/s...

I don't know if it's the build or the low number of seeding machines, but it looks promising!

By PJElliot, # 10. July 2007, 17:15:55

finally.. this is a good one..

i've never been logged out from forum anymore..

and i can see a major speed improvement!!

Good!

Thanks.

By freekey, # 10. July 2007, 17:18:14

Yay! New weekly!

By IceArdor, # 10. July 2007, 17:22:49

@tsharan: There's a wishlist forum you should use instead of this blog.

By Junyor, # 10. July 2007, 17:32:43

This would be great!

Please submit this also to wishes forum.

I think there is something wrong with Opera 9.22 weeklys and this page: http://www.noticias3d.com/

Sometimes the text and dates on the middle of the page overlap the grey colum on the right.

Screenshot

I don't remember that happening with previous versions. But it may have just been a coincidence.

By RSD, # 10. July 2007, 17:33:45

@Junyor
Ok. I know about this forum but I think that only this blog give us opportunity to contact with Opera's dev so closely.

Ok. I'll post my suggestions on this forum.

By tsarhan, # 10. July 2007, 18:10:51

Tnx for the classic install version 8)

By podarok, # 10. July 2007, 18:12:07

Thanks for bringing the classic installer back!

By SalocinHB, # 10. July 2007, 18:13:01

@tsarhan: Developers are interested in feedback on the Merlin build posted, nothing else. Thank you.

By Junyor, # 10. July 2007, 18:30:50

For the first time, I've tried to the BT's capability and it works well so far.

By senyorito, # 10. July 2007, 18:32:37

Version 9.22
Build 652
Platform Linux
System i686, 2.6.21-ARCH
Qt library 3.3.8

It's getting better. But still crashing in flash websites if you use forward or backward butten.

I just want some things to be improved:

1°) Let us customize the number of speed dial pages!!! (Or you could implement a similar style for bookmarks!)

2°)You could implement a delicious button like Maxthon did!
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7105/20070710152422jf4.jpg

3°)You could rebuild the RSS reader like Maxthon (The Subscription on the top-left, the News on the bottom left and the whole page of news on the right...)
http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20070710153110zp8.jpg

4°)Like Maxthon (well, I'm already waiting the answers of some guys saying: change to Maxthon....) you could implement a customizable way of block some contents:
http://img67.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20070710153758zo5.jpg

So, I think it's just it... Maxthon copyed a lot of Opera, so it's fair if you copy little things of them too... I hope this message be read...

Sorry for my English...

By RafaelMnz, # 10. July 2007, 18:54:57

Daggit, Toman, you forced my hand. ^_^

Hmmm, doesn't seem any better than last time. =( Basically from my experience, if it's not OpenOffice, it's not a fast DL. =( I'll get an order of magnitude more speed on this exact same torrent through uTorrent or Azureus. However, those two clients are essentially "the holy grail", and like I said, if Opera even ever hits HALF their standard performance I'd immediately dump 'em and make Opera my default.

I know most IRC clients are better than Opera's, but you CANNOT beat how easy it is to get it working in Opera. Mostly 'cause :

1. I download one thing I was already downloading to get it to work. (www.opera.com is the first site I *always* go to if I'm cleaning up my system or wiping a relative's. Seriously, http://www.opera.com/ is IE's entire history. PERIOD.)
2. They save it with the mail account, so I when I transfer my mail folder (I'm dual booting Linux and Windows, and they both access the same mail folder) all my chat info goes with it.
3. irc:// links. OMFG is that easy to use. I can bookmark 'em too! =3

It's too bad you guys got rid of the IM client. By the time I found out about it, it was long gone, so I never got to find out if it was any good or not. Tho at some point you guys're gonna end up with a 10 meg operating system

I see this for a second or two after a refresh, but then everything shifts to the correct location.

By Rijk, # 10. July 2007, 19:06:02

Another build to play with unfortunately Bittorrent on Opera is not a feature I use. So it's just for the sake of staying up-to-date!

By petersaints, # 10. July 2007, 19:07:45

Boooring... I want Kestrel!

By sites.web.pt, # 10. July 2007, 19:10:51

Since I don't use torrents, is it worth to upgrade my browser?

Does it fixes/adds/does anything else besides torrents?

By DjiXas, # 10. July 2007, 19:13:55

Junyor, regarding CSS3 fixes, didn't it passed whole the css3.info test?

By DjiXas, # 10. July 2007, 19:18:13

@RafaelMnz: Do not post feature requests here. There's a forum for that. If you don't have comments about this build, don't post anything.

@DjiXas: Not Merlin.

By Junyor, # 10. July 2007, 19:34:45

You guys need to make a new RPM package for Fedora 7. The ones you guys make has a dependency error (a library called "libstdc++.so.5" is missing), and I have to disable dependency checking when I install it.

Interestingly enough, Opera works fine without that library, so my guess is that Fedora 7 just has a newer version of it. I did a search the first time I had this issue, and I don't remember what the results were (other than the fact that "libstdc++.so.5" is an ancient version), but I do remember that I came to the conclusion that Fedora 7 just had too new a version of that file. Unfortunately I don't actually remember why I came to that conclusion. I guess I should have mentioned something then, as my memory is worthless...

Yes! No! Actually, I haven't the slightest friggin' idea, and since it looks like your question was skipped over, I guess we'll have to talk amongst ourselves to try and figure it out. For now, I'm going under the assumption that if there was something worth mentioning they would mention it. Bittorrent fixes have been mentioned multiple times, at least, so maybe they're starting with the most important things first.
