New weekly build

By mitchman2. Friday, 17. February 2006, 15:34:10

, , , ,

It's friday again and we're happy to release a new weekly build. There are some important fixes in this build, and people using BitTorrent in TP2 should take extra note of the changes:

Changes since 13 February 2006:
  • Fixed so upload in BitTorrent doesn't send corrupt data. Some changes to improve the speed.
  • Changed feed notification icon.
  • Fixed crash when searching in opera:config
  • The [Adv User prefs] section of opera6.ini and opera:config has been renamed to [Network].
  • Removing button on one toolbar now removes from all open tabs not just active one.
  • Fix to allow nested forms.
  • Added widget error reporting to the error console.
  • Possible fix for buttons not working on GMail.

Unix specific changes:
  • Improved session management handling
  • Modified pluginwrapper so that plug-ins see a Composite widget. Some versions of the real plug-ins seem to need this.
  • Shortcut fixes for widget handling in the unix-keyboard.ini setting
  • Fixed problems with missing resizing of content of detached windows.
  • Cleanup and fixed problems with parsing of remote commands. We were unable to open filenames with spaces.
  • Improved window handling for widgets.

Known issues:
  • Saving preferences in opera:config, while any file path preference contains a string with spaces, can cause the paths to become corrupted, or multiple warning dialogs to be displayed. You are advised not to use opera:config in this release, or the previous weekly release.
  • Might crash in some cases when switching between tabs with the mouse.

Download links:
Windows Build 8225
UNIX Build 1656

There is no Mac build this week.

I've heard these release notes aren't complete, but could you please reveal if there are any fixes in the IMAP backend, for example when it comes to synchronizing? Synchronizing doesn't work too well in TP2. :smile:

The selection bug is a regression in TP2:

Cookies are still deleted after exiting Opera when "Delete cookies on exit" is deactivated in "Site preferences" for special sites but activated in the default settings.

BTW, is it planned to block DIV Elements like it's done in AdBlock Plus? This would be great.

Looks like my local css file will not apply (worked in the previous build...).

@thexfile: Please read the release notes. That is listed as a known issue.

@hcastill: It's being worked on.

By Junyor, # 17. February 2006, 17:46:23

Folks, please remember that all bugs reported last week will not be fixed this week (or next week or the week after). We still need bug reports on issues you find (after others have reproduced it), so you may find the forums a better place to discuss problems you find.

By Junyor, # 17. February 2006, 17:51:24

Just curious-- is the thread that accompanies a Weekly (ex this thread for 8225) considered to be the changelog, or is there another link we should be looking at in addition?
Thanks
(so far, no probs-- waiting quietly for my pet bug fix) :smile:

The issue with focusing background pages in the Unix version is still there :frown:. (oddly enough, it was fixed in the previous weekly Windows build -- didn't try this one.)
just submitted a bug report.

No fix for Automatic Proxy Script ??

Unless this is done, I just can't use it from my office. IE and Firefox work perfectly. Whats the problem with Opera?

Nice one.

still badly renders menu on the left in www.liveforspeed.net

Linux System

Ok..

But seems there is a problem with Java.

First, I have to set the system variable to force Opera enables Java.

Second, despite the cited variable has been pointed out, still no Java can be detected by sun's detection agent for Java: http://www.java.com/pt_BR/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre.

The previous release didn't present this behavior.

No matter Java's version (I used 1.5.0_06 and 1.6.0-beta2-b72). The result is the same for both versions.

Is anybody reading the comments?

Don't discuss bugs here. Post bug stuff in the Beta forum.

As far as Unix, I'm still looking for a fix for button6 and button7 ...

@ronin.achilles: Bug number? Talking about something without giving a reference doesn't help anyone else to know what you're talking about.

http://tool462rules.home.comcast.net/eBay.PNG

i get an error when I'm on eBay. Anyone know why?

Not sure if this is intentional behaviour, but now there is a consistent RSS icon, some sites still override this icon with their own:

Example: http://operawatch.blogspot.com/

"Removing button on one toolbar now removes from all open tabs not just active one."

Finally! I've been looking forward for this change for some time now :smile:

Edit: One more thing:

"Might crash in some cases when switching between tabs with the mouse."

Are you talking about when you right-click on the mouse and uses the wheel to see a list of all open tabs? If so - good news, I've noticed this crash earlier.

no love for the powerbook toting mac kids?

I have been really digging the opera builds, and have been waiting for this next release all week. now I will have to boot into my ubuntu install to try the unix build.

come on, give up mac users some love.

Me needs a mac build!

By akh, # 18. February 2006, 00:15:09

All platforms will not be released every week. UNIX wasn't released last week and Mac wasn't released this week. If one platform has problems, we won't hold back the others. That is the only alternative.

@Pondus: The crash is new to this weekly build. If you mean "earlier" as in with last week's build, that's something else.

By Junyor, # 18. February 2006, 00:21:58

the mac version is by far the worst one, still nothing new this week?

Is there a plan for Opera supporting Web2.0? I am finding things like Typepad, Gmail and other sites are pretty limited when using Opera

By Pocket_PC_Addict, # 18. February 2006, 01:06:41

avatar
I think you need to be more specific than "Web 2.0" as that's... well, just a buzzword and can include everything and nothing. But you're right in that there may still be problems with e.g. XmlHttpRequest and rich text editing.

By Northgrove, # 18. February 2006, 01:15:44

avatar
Gmail still doesnt work... When i subscribe to new RSS channel, some old posts from other RSS channel are included at top of the new one :/ RSS icon is great, but I will prefer if it will be a bit smaller and in other color (maybe, blue?).

Anyway, thnx for another great build!

File Forum are showing build 8225 as a Beta surly that is wrong? Should this build even be on the File Forum Site?????

Hey is that changelog 'complete', or are there changes to rendering engine as well?
And how come there are only 2 known issues? Are the other s(proxy, transfers tab) fixed :smile:

arg...this build is more trouble than it's worth. none of my fav widgets are working and i get a

config.xml could not be parsed, widget will be rejected

for most of them...did they change the something?

I love living on the bleeding edge :smile: This build (8225) is rather unstable compared to the previous. Three crashes in two days compared to zero for the previous build in a week.

Sure is fun to play with this :smile:
