Opera 8.52

By olli. Friday, February 17, 2006 12:03:22 AM

As some of you noticed, Opera 8.52 was available on our ftp servers
yesterday. It was removed this morning because some files were not updated
correctly. We are currently uploading updated builds to our ftp server.

Unlike 8.51, 8.52 will be available in localized versions. Not all
localized versions on Windows will be available initially, but they will
be uploaded as they are ready over the next couple of days. Localized
versions on Mac will be available at the time of the official launch.
Downloadable language files on UNIX will be available at the time of the
offical launch as usual.

The official launch of 8.52 will occur tomorrow if no further problems are
discovered. The changelog for this release will be available at that time.

ok, cool...

KonstantinSTNG Friday, February 17, 2006 1:12:59 AM

What's new? Fixing security problems? Thanks for operative update smile

Unlike 8.51, 8.52 will be available in localized versions.



I am downloaded it yesterday. Translation quality in russian localized Opera 8.52 still is very terrible sad. The best russian LNG-pack by Mongoose still is not included by default to official russian Opera.

Thread about this problem in "Translating Opera" forum: Russian localization for 8th - When?

papaonline Friday, February 17, 2006 4:14:19 AM

I still can't download Russian version. :-(

As this post says, not all localized versions on Windows will be available initially, but they'll be uploaded over the next couple of days.

@STNG: That thread is about Opera being popular in Russia.... I guess you mean this thread: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=88837.

@Junyor
I think STNG refers to that thread:

100% reproducible. Already bugged crashlogs.

Finally localized build for polish! Thanks :-)

xErath,
Yes, it crashes here on WinXP with the newly downloaded 8.52.
Sorry, did not check that page with the original 8.52.

So in Norway it could be Thursday.

It seems to me the "Opera Image Control Status Bar Spoofing Weakness" fix has been included in this release?

Dennis-Hawks Friday, February 17, 2006 9:42:01 AM

Is it just to satisfy clients with the fact that Opera has got ZERO vulnerabilities?
It's marketing, guys.
But I do not object.

porneL Friday, February 17, 2006 10:03:00 AM

If that can be fixed, why not? It's not serious at all (does Opera even display status bar by default?), but having none vulnerabilities open really shows that Opera software cares about security.

yes, just a bit stupid joke.

and leaves its opponents behind. up

Renny Friday, February 17, 2006 10:24:05 AM

Where's the changelog, I wonder...

ChrisChris Hester Friday, February 17, 2006 11:32:20 AM

The post was made 3 minutes past twelve on Thursday night, so when they said tomorrow, that meant Friday, not Saturday. (I'm guessing here.) Anyway, OPERA 8.52 IS NOW OUT. I just downloaded it and read the changelog. Go to the downloads page on Opera to get it.

Espen B. AnderssonEspenA Friday, February 17, 2006 11:38:20 AM

Changelog: http://opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/852/

Kostia RomanovKildor Friday, February 17, 2006 11:39:50 AM

Well, I use 9.00, so don`t need in 8.52… ;-)
And timestamp of post is
Opera 8.52
By olli. Friday, 17. February 2006, 06:03:22
for me.
Anyway, read changelog…

Borut GolobPink Friday, February 17, 2006 1:19:43 PM

Are there any changes in user interface?

Language file for 8.52 contains strings for BitTorrent (9 more than 8.51) and for advertising - registering Opera (12 lines more than 9.02)

Is there any possibility to check, which strings are currently used by Opera?

Non-Tropponon-troppo Friday, February 17, 2006 2:05:36 PM

Great move! Remember Secunia is used as a metric to measure "security". The quicker things are fixed, the longer the browser is seen as invulnerable, and the next round of statisitics analysing security will say: "Opera has has the most number of days with no unpatched vulnerabilities". Please keep this way of doing things, even IF it is only for that reason (which it isn't as some other bugs were fixed...)

Jakub81 Friday, February 17, 2006 2:16:01 PM

I am VERY happy that Opera 8.52 is released in all languages, not only in English like 8.51. VERY happy. I think it's the biggest change. It's really important if Opera wants to grow in market share outside USA.

Rafał MiłeckiZajec Friday, February 17, 2006 2:18:35 PM

Why there is polish 8.50 only? http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?step=2&opsys=Windows&platform=win

I can see plpl852 on FTP: ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/win/852/pl/

olli Saturday, February 18, 2006 1:45:41 AM

StarGazer: uhm build 8225 is the latest weekly build of opera 9 not 8.52

shogunu Saturday, February 18, 2006 4:28:55 AM

Hello,

I downloaded Opera 8.52 from filehippo.com (http://www.filehippo.com/download_opera/) and then aloso from opera.com. Both installers work but they have different md5 checksums, the one from filehippo.com has d3198971103d00db6d1ee070d7998030, is this the file that was updated incorrectly?

I installed them both and they work, what's the difference between the installers?

olli Saturday, February 18, 2006 10:49:35 AM

shogunu: The one on filehippo is the one we removed from the ftp server. The only difference is the licene.txt that was wrong. Except for that it's the same version

shogunu Saturday, February 18, 2006 9:46:37 PM

Ok thanks, so i'll be keeping the one downloaded from opera.com

Rui Costarpsgc Saturday, February 18, 2006 11:47:12 PM

Currently Opera 8.52 is only available in English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian and Spanish. Do you know when Opera will be available in other languages ?

Emrah BASKAYAhesido Wednesday, February 22, 2006 3:00:58 PM

I imagine there are now/will be several set top boxes with Opera pre-installed with Opera 8.5 technology, I know it is strictly dependent on the vendor, but does Opera provide easy updating of itself in those solid-state machines with respect to their license agreement to those vendors?

Michael McGoverno2mcgovem Sunday, March 12, 2006 10:21:38 PM

Does Opera have an UK English version of their browser?
It's really irritating having to put up with US English (e.g. Color > Colour, Localization > Localisation). It's not the proper form of English, it's English that's been tampered with by Mr. Webster (I think it was him anyway, I'm not too sure).

qicaispace Monday, May 29, 2006 10:57:57 AM

they'll be uploaded over the next couple of days.
