Great! Thanks. I'll try the builds at home (and send feedback, if I have any). I'll stick to using the more tested software while at work

Fantastic!

cool! thnx

Widgets but no calendar? Like those little shiny Mac toys and no functionality...

davidcrickett: You mean like http://my.opera.com/community/customize/widgets/info/?id=3445?

The Weekly Builds are snapshots, they are not as thoroughly tested as a Technology Preview or a Public Beta.

Will Previews and Betas still be released?

It's been mentioned in the forums that yes, betas are still scheduled. I believe previews as well.

Да традиция хорошая

We dont know what you said, MihLab.
We will see how it'll be works, I hope that's good move. )

Pozdrawiam,

janbar.)

Where should I report bugs at ?

Thanks for good news! This is great tradition. We are ready for testing Opera's fresh builds... every time, everywhere .
But some suggestion. Please read Wish-List forum (sometimes) and release new requested functions and features (some of them).

STNG: We do, thus preview 2 added ctrl+enter for prefilling www and .com and gui for adding searches etc :-)

olli, how about categories for newsfeeds?
And possibility to set max number of lines in multiline wrapping of toolbars? ;-)

PS: Thanks for news… $)
Огромное вам спасибо…

that's cool!
新氣象,好,好

Another feature that has been requested by a lot of you is the Content blocker. We have a few planned improvements to it that you will see over the coming weeks..

PS
I see that my Russian lessions are finally starting to pay off

Suggestion: Make the weekly builds also available on labs.opera.com so that site is *the* site for *geeky* stuff about Opera: previews, betas, weekly builds and whatever is coming.

Currently, things are scattered over many places . Maybe also make something like Planet Opera, but only with technical blog posts from all people at Opera Software, talking about current or future builds. This would fit very nicely in labs.opera.com, so it would be a single place to visit.

Sensational! We will enjoy the new builds!

Hopefully you have the processes and people to absorb the torrent of feedback that will come. Back in the day, we found that we were unable to keep pace with the flood of feedback and how to prioritize trade-offs on bugs vs. UI and other design elements, but we certainly gained our share of notoriety. - hootchboy

this is the greatest news i've heard so far today! this is going to be great not having to wait so long anymore for fixes and new releases.

thanks! thats a really good move in my opinion!

--kyleabaker

Yeah, I agree with hootchboy. People come out of the woodwork when they feel they actually get a say so. There will be a flood of persistent feedback, pestering people and plain' old stupid people.

Will there be good? Sure! I'm just afraid this won't last long if it becomes flooded. Hope big O is prepared but can anyone ever really be prepared for fame?

Best of luck and generally, I think this is a really great and wonderful idea. Just hope it lasts.

Yum

Great Idea!

Will be interesting to see Opera 9, and hopfully edititions into the future, develop thier functionality even further.


Great work Opera!

I am expecting opera 9 to fully support all the w3c standards.

And I really want to compose html messages in the mail client in opera 9.

Please keep me updated on this thank you falkons54701

My opera always go down and it's error is that: "0x500bf974"指令引用的"0x0000e7f"内存.该内存不能为"read";

Great job! Since switching to Opera I have never looked back.

I think the 8219 is better than 8225

I must strongly agree with "robodesign" about making the Opera weekly builds (and whatever else is coming) available on "labs.opera.com."

There needs to be a single depot for those interested in participating in the development of this remarkable product.

I seldom participate in any kind of forum. But after experiencing Opera, whatever its imperfections (at present), I cannot be happy with any other browser (and that includes firefox, even with all of its extensions).

Developers, whatever your reasons for working on the Opera project, I hope you will take me seriously when I say that what you are doing matters in a very big way.

With that in mind, I wish to reiterate the need for a more centralized singular access point for all things Opera. Perhaps something more acessible from the Opera.com main page...something that says "For Beta Testers"...set off to the side, but still in plain view.

Thank you for the opportunity to voice these thoughts.

With opera 9 release 9414, "checking for updates" does not find a later version. Downloading opera 9 beta just re-installed the same 9414 build. Only by going an Opera page that had a build 9432 radio button, was I able to update.

we found that we were unable to keep pace with the flood of feedback and how to prioritize trade-offs on bugs vs. UI and other design elements, but we certainly gained our share of notoriety.

jimpublic: Opera only checks for updates of official release versions, not even betas. It's a function that keeps your browser up to date with the most stable and secure version, not with the most experimental features

Opera 9 is great!

opera i need you

Great! Thanks.

Opera 9.51 - Mail - not usable as default MAIL pgm in Windows XP Home:
1)need command line & parameters for MAILTO
2)need command line & parameters for desktop notifier (Pop Peeper).
while "opera.exe /mail" works here, the problem in 1) & 2) is that Opera Mail toggles between ALL UNREAD and ALL RECEIVED `by itself' and needs the toggle button pressed some of the time. Typical users want ALL RECEIVED settable as default, no MAIL/CONTACTS side-panel, all received mails shown together CRUCIALLY with a TO COLUMN (the most glaring ommision EVER) so they know to which address mail is TO.
3)MAIL VITALLY NEEDS a TO COLUMN URGENTLY - simply showing a TO contact icon (for each mailbox) - instead of the FROM icon duplication!!!
4)Windows Live & Http mail - my mail notifier POP PEEPER does, has persistent notification of mail & mailboxes AND low resources. I'd strongly suggest collaboration with POP PEEPER, AVG plus GOOGLE!!!
5)AVG 8 native plugin so I know email plus attachments OK in & out, as well as antivrus/antispyware on websites, downloads, etc. Users DON'T CURRENTLY KNOW WHAT IS SAFE AT ALL!
6)Opera skin & users' eyesight: BLACK ONES not distinguishable!
7)Fix these URGENTLY and give Opera the success we all want to see!!

Very interestingly and beautifully written article!
