Opera Desktop Team

…and one more weekly!

By Claudio Santambrogiocsant. Friday, March 10, 2006 3:29:38 PM

, ,

It's Friday again - time for one more round of testing a snapshot of our internal development!

As usual, please read the Known Issues List first:

  • Cannot view e-mail attachments within Opera.
  • :hover pseudo-class is only recognised when hovering inline boxes within an element (may cause Pure CSS Menus to fail).
  • Text may be misaligned on buttons.
  • Self closing (non-script) tags may break the layout.
  • Some pages may have unexpected linebreaks.

Changelog

  • Fixed crasher on Flash.
  • Added experimental support for opening Web archives.
  • Improved display of content blocker toolbar.
  • Added keyboard shortcuts Cmd+[ and Cmd+] for back/forward on Mac.
  • Up/down arrows no longer select next/previous messages in e-mail and news views when the message view has focus.
  • Improved notification of invalid SSL certificates.
  • Upgrading will automatically disable 40 and 56 bit SSL/TLS ciphers.
  • Fixed float and inline box stacking order, as required by the Acid2 test.
  • Allowed mouse events to pass through clipped or overflowed (or otherwise transparent) regions of an element.
  • Added class contructors for CanvasGradient, CanvasPattern, and CanvasRenderingContext2D.
  • Added support for HTMLTableElement.cells collection.
  • <xml> elements are no longer removed from the HTML DOM.
  • Improved handling of offsetTop, offsetLeft, and offsetParent.
  • Added support for Selection.removeAllRanges and Selection.addRange.

Downloading the Mac build...

edit: looks like it's also the first post smile

FataL Friday, March 10, 2006 4:34:22 PM

I'm second!
But hey, it's new weekly! smile

Håkon Friday, March 10, 2006 4:35:03 PM

Cool!

Zygi Friday, March 10, 2006 4:38:06 PM

oh kids are having fun, racing who posted first comment.... wink i'm fourth p

Shinglor Friday, March 10, 2006 4:39:06 PM

Hooray, Opera passes Acid2! Great work. It would be nice if Firefox could keep up and provide some decent competition.

kisu kangcielkisu Friday, March 10, 2006 4:39:15 PM

keep on working !! i love weekly build .. woohoo..

Eldarbyte Friday, March 10, 2006 4:40:19 PM

eh, no static version sad

Jakub81 Friday, March 10, 2006 4:40:57 PM

What a relief, a new dose of Opera... wink Thanks!

Nicolas Mendozanicomen Friday, March 10, 2006 4:44:21 PM

> eh, no static version

Sure there are:

but only .deb for now. ;/

to unpack the .deb for other distros use:

ar -x opera-static_9.0-20060310.1-qt_en_i386.deb



then snatch the resulting data.tar.gz and unpack where you feel like. And run it from there.

A nice recipe is this one:

mkdir ~/opera_9.0-20060310
cd ~/opera_9.0-2006031
ar -x opera-static_9.0-20060310.1-qt_en_i386.deb
tar xzvf data.tar.gz
perl -pi -e 's/^OPERA_BINARYDIR=\//OPERA_BINARYDIR=/' usr/bin/opera
usr/bin/opera -personaldir ~/opera_9.0-2006031



this should not interfere with existing installations but let you explore the new features of latest weekly :-)

AlexanderXRock Friday, March 10, 2006 4:44:52 PM

Too much issues for this build. But they are small, so I will download it.

mophor Friday, March 10, 2006 4:44:58 PM

some reports:

your onmousewheel wheel delta seems to report things the other way around, compared to IE. When viewing http://www.techniekpromotie.nl/ which implements this event, you can see that. Also see http://www.rikkertkoppes.com/tests/opera9/wheeldelta.htm for my testcase (scrolling up is negative, while IE thinks it's positive, I admit, your version is more logical)

in last week's build I found some issues changing the mousecursor. This also involved previous releases (e.g. 8.5): http://www.rikkertkoppes.com/tests/opera9/mousecursor.htm The mousecursor in the area should change when the mousebutton is pressed, however in last week's build (and previous) this only happens when you press, move out the element and move back. In this build, nothing at all happens.

There are rendering issues when hiding/displaying svg using display: block/none on an element surrounding the whole, see for instance: http://www.rikkertkoppes.com/tests/svg/tabletest.xml (click the red icon to change between table and (svg) graph view)

velmu Friday, March 10, 2006 4:45:14 PM

Zygi: Hehe smile I suppose people with a life don't spend their time waiting for a fresh BETA release on FRIDAY EVENING smile

FataL Friday, March 10, 2006 4:45:22 PM

experimental support for opening Web archives
What is means and how it work? How to test?

Immanis Friday, March 10, 2006 4:48:49 PM

Err... what does this suppose to mean:
"Added experimental support for opening Web archives."

SvenD Friday, March 10, 2006 4:49:02 PM

Nice as always, but the Message Console is still here :-(

Tim AltmanJunyor Friday, March 10, 2006 4:49:46 PM

@FataL: It's MHTML support. When you save a page, there's a new option for Web archives. Opera will now also open MHTML files.

Dennis-Hawks Friday, March 10, 2006 4:50:06 PM

@FataL
MHT?

Block content with shift is awesome!

Martin Suelzlemarsu Friday, March 10, 2006 4:50:49 PM

Ok, a new version. But there is mutch to do for a new release. The rendering engine has a lot of refreshing bugs. (Read a java api documentation and scroll with your mouse down) ... and so on...

FataL Friday, March 10, 2006 4:52:12 PM

Immanis: maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't know what Web archives means. Is it ZIP archives or something else? And what exactly means support. You can see content of archive before download, or you can download only selected files from archive?..
Update Thanks Junyor and Dennis_Hawks. Now I got it. MHT support is great! Now we can not only open MHT, but also save smile

FavDjiXas Friday, March 10, 2006 4:54:43 PM

Hehe, another beta smile Nice.

MaximSailorMax Friday, March 10, 2006 4:55:55 PM

2Junyor: Save as mht (this page), and try open it wink in result I don't see this page wink

Kostia RomanovKildor Friday, March 10, 2006 4:56:24 PM

MHT-support!! great…
-1 wish of IE-users ;-)

Immanis Friday, March 10, 2006 4:56:34 PM

FataL, you beat me with you question, my comment wasn't a response to yours.

desmasiic Friday, March 10, 2006 4:56:53 PM

Web Archives are prob a system where old (non functioning) or cached version of sites are stored.

Anyways, I skipped the last build cause of flash crash fear. Now the new version works great so far, plus my lovely RSS feeds are working again. Yesss... nice job.

FataL Friday, March 10, 2006 4:59:23 PM

Immanis: ok, sorry... Than it was a funny coincidence. bigsmile

FataL Friday, March 10, 2006 5:01:44 PM

Dennis_Hawks: 100% agree - blocking content with SHIFT is awesome feature. up

Paulbitoclass Friday, March 10, 2006 5:06:29 PM

Great news about .mht files!

Still no NTLM improvements though sad I look forward to the day when I can finally use Opera at work behind our rubbish MS ISA proxy instead of IE!

Non-Tropponon-troppo Friday, March 10, 2006 5:09:47 PM

MHT seems to work well - indeed better than IE as it seems to save CSS included images too.

Acid2: beer

Content block: I got a toolbar without any buttons so couldn't exit on this very page - needed to hack up a key toggle...

I just noticed a new command BTW - "Go to Content Magic" - doesn't seem to do much ATM.

Bugs: olli workin' hard I see... wink

GENERAL: please post bugs to the forum / bug-tracker and not only here...

@ mophor did you post those issues to the bug tracker?

Kc4 the Greatklingoncowboy4 Friday, March 10, 2006 5:16:02 PM

Just got the windows build running so far so good (only time will tell if it is more stable then last build or not)

Johan Borgborg Friday, March 10, 2006 5:16:44 PM

Don't you understand anything, non-troppo? p

It goes to magic content, of course!

Non-Tropponon-troppo Friday, March 10, 2006 5:21:01 PM

well, I did notice a dragon burping at me, but I think the toggle is broken in the internal command mechanism (dragon burps stink and there is no way to turn it off, another one of olli's bugs probably)... wink

Jakub81 Friday, March 10, 2006 5:23:11 PM

What? Did you implement MAGIC wizard in Opera? bigeyes

Non-Tropponon-troppo Friday, March 10, 2006 5:23:42 PM

Well, Opera 9 is called Merlin!

Jakub81 Friday, March 10, 2006 5:31:50 PM

Well, we had a wand tool already, magic was just a matter of time. lol

Kostia RomanovKildor Friday, March 10, 2006 5:46:46 PM

this weekly saves html with images very bad :-(
page was with 20 images, but saves only with 2 :-(
It look like Opera save only CSS images, not :-(((
And mht, saved from this opera doesn`t open in Opera, nor in IE
In Opera opens blank screen with some xml from M2, after resizing, screen filled binary craps…

Guanyao Chenggyc Friday, March 10, 2006 5:57:33 PM

Flash still crashes the Mac version.

salimar Friday, March 10, 2006 6:01:47 PM

locks up on me while loading courttv.com

also is there a way to add a list of sites, etc to the block content function of opera instead of adding one site at a time? if so, how might i go about this?

other than that, great going!

Non-Tropponon-troppo Friday, March 10, 2006 6:09:03 PM

kildor: I tried olli's blog and it saved fine, including HTML embedded images and opened fine in Opera and IE. I checked the saved file and the images are certainly there encoded as base64...

Though I correct my previous point - CSS embedded images are not saved in my test on olli's blog.

sebt Friday, March 10, 2006 6:12:01 PM

What's the mail problem with attachments? Do they not work at all?

Seb smile

www.nenelinux.tk ®nenericardo Friday, March 10, 2006 6:12:07 PM

a mi me sale un error cada vez que cierro mi opera ... no se porque

Wardieswardies Friday, March 10, 2006 6:12:28 PM

Hooray, Opera passes Acid2! Great work.



Yes, excellent work smile

There are some noticeable artifacts in 120% zoom and all other non-100% zoom multiples. Known issue? Or is Acid2 only intended to work at 100%/200%?

Tim AltmanJunyor Friday, March 10, 2006 6:22:07 PM

Acid2 is only intended to work at 100% zoom.

slauf Friday, March 10, 2006 6:28:27 PM

Thanks for the new Build.
I hope that the weekly Builds are so good for the Development, that the weekly Builds will continue when Opera 9 is released.


I noticed that on http://www.umwelt.sachsen.de/lfug/hwz/Mulde/index.html when I move the cursor over a Measurement Point for Highwater I get no Information which Point it is and which water level there is.

Another problem I found: This Build and the Builds before
( I think since Technical Preview 1) have a problem with some Skins.
The Window will be black total and then after a max moment of a second you see the opera window again. This procedure replays one or more times by opening the
'Appearance' or the 'Preferences' - Window per example.

Very nice, good work.

Only everytime I close Opera it craching.

Edward N Legerenleger Friday, March 10, 2006 6:58:39 PM

I am having problems with Yahoo Mail.
When I click my Inbox, Opera shuts down.

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, March 10, 2006 7:12:21 PM

great build! no crashes for me yet, still testing a few of the new features... bigsmile

FavDjiXas Friday, March 10, 2006 7:18:09 PM

Many flash pop ups in various webs don't closes with Opera


---------------------

http://www.flashbacksearch.com/contact.html

Yahoo id picture goes bit to left, previous opera and any other browsers don't have this issue, also both tables code are the same.

FataL Friday, March 10, 2006 7:18:38 PM

With this build we get bugs with selection of the text on pages again (I don't have problems with previous weekly build).
