Hey
As you have noticed we are fixing tons of bugs, so now a new build for you guys to test.
One new thing to notice is the new zoom control (only on win yet, but will come on other platforms soon) smile
Don't forget to report bugs in the bug wizard.. Look out for regressions since 10.1 those are highest priority!

Highlights
  • Facebook is working again
  • A new view button to the right on the status bar adds a zoom slider (Windows-only for now)
  • Work on tab management (MDI)
  • Skin fixes, such as a glow on the personal bar to make the text readable (Windows 7/Vista)
  • Stability fixes

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.

You misunderstood. I talked about .COM. If you're in Austria, I think your Opera copy should automatically have added the ccTLD .AT into your "server name completion" field in PREFS, no? So, if you just type "verkehrsline" < ENTER >, it should go properly. If not, add .AT yourself and you will save yourself millions of seconds the rest of your life typing URLs in Opera. wink


I know, but it doesn't work as I expect it: when I type www.verkehrsline.at it works, when I type verkehsline (without www. and .at) it works as well, but when I type verkehrsline.at it doesn't add the www. part and therefore I get a Could not locate remote server error.

And yes, address bar dropdown is pretty broken and rather cumbersome (at least for me) with the search engine placed on top.

hey guys,
i've a problem with opera running on unix / linux. on slow networks (i guess it's because of the slow dns resolving) opera freezes for about 5sec each time i open a new page or a connection to a new page is set up. i'd really appreciate it if you guys fixed this issue.
