It's Friday again.

, , ,

Some were worried we would have moved our weeklies to Wednesdays - but do not fear: there is the usual Friday's Weekly for you too!

Widget UI (would you have guessed?) is still under development - but we keep seeing progress.

Changelog
  • Several memory leaks fixed;
  • Display issues fixed - noticeable e.g. on gmail and vBulletin sites;
  • Fixed bug with attachment button on gmail;
  • Fixed bug with pages not loaded on restart;
  • Fixed content blocker;
  • Fixed Proxy On/Off toggle in Quick Preferences;
  • Added setting for show widget handle in Preferences > General;
  • Ongoing work on widget GUI;


Unix Specific
  • Netscape Plug-in API 0.16 enabled on Linux/Unix
  • A shared .6 package is not available this time.


Yes - you saw that correctly: Netscape Plug-in API 0.16 has been enabled on Linux/Unix! This means for our Linux users, among other things, that mplayerplug-in now is working in Opera smile

Nice! Will the Widget's handler be enabled by defualt? I must say I don't like that so much.

FataL Friday, March 31, 2006 4:46:41 PM

Cool!
Fixed issues with in-page search and blocking content. up

Cool, thanks smile

@mgillespie: See http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=23497. The regular beta testing rules apply. And no, Report a site problem will not get weekly bugs fixed. You should post a forum thread about a bug and once you receive confirmations, file a bug report. Comments in this thread only are pretty useless.

RamūnasRamunas Friday, March 31, 2006 5:02:23 PM

Widgets dont work at all, though the handle appears, i click it and i get a grey screen. sad

Tommy A. Olsentoman Friday, March 31, 2006 5:04:29 PM

I cant wait to test the new plugins API bigsmile

velmu Friday, March 31, 2006 5:10:45 PM

I be downloading das Mac build. I've had this random, but really annoying bug for a while now: http://youtube.com/watch?v=s_sewoSm870

Any ideas on what is causing it and/or has anything been done about it?

rocco Friday, March 31, 2006 5:10:48 PM

Hmmmmmm mplayerplug-in.....

One has to love fridays.

Hein Torezyph Friday, March 31, 2006 5:11:09 PM

I got random crashes at first, with the Mac build. It also crashed on exit. After renaming the (old) Widgets folder, it's more stable than ever -- so obviously there are some Widgets issues with this build (which seems rather logical to me, since it's ongoing work.)

Thumbs up!

sebt Friday, March 31, 2006 5:11:46 PM

Sweet. It's that friday feeling again smile

Mohammed S Muchhalababumuchhala Friday, March 31, 2006 5:13:36 PM

Might sound silly but can someone tell me the difference between the following 2 packages

opera -static_9.0-20060331.1-qt_en_dapper_i386.deb

and

opera-static_9.0-20060331.1-qt_en_i386.deb

Tommy A. Olsentoman Friday, March 31, 2006 5:16:37 PM

babumuchhala: the dapper one has different dependency checking. Use it only if you use Ubuntu dapper.

alsiladka Friday, March 31, 2006 5:17:50 PM

Pampering us so much ....... Man you should'nt be doing it every week smile

Display issues fixed - noticeable e.g. on gmail and vBulletin sites;

Cannot wait to test it outtttt

FataL Friday, March 31, 2006 5:19:12 PM

Fixed bug with pages not loaded on restart

Really? I still have that problem... sad

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Friday, March 31, 2006 5:20:55 PM

FataL, is that only after the first restart after upgrade, or also after that?

wupperbayer Friday, March 31, 2006 5:30:20 PM

Like that build smile

Thoght I had to write something positive after those negative posts I wrote to the last builds. wink

Once again, very nice build. I say this really could be the first beta version of Melin.

chrislu Friday, March 31, 2006 5:32:57 PM

praise you if that vbulletin thing is gone wink

THX opera is the best

EDIT: YEAH now opera is near perfect again wink

Joey WaghWajo357 Friday, March 31, 2006 5:33:52 PM

Getting better!
When restarting, pages still come up blank- even on multiple restarts. However, this is an "upgrade" and not a fresh install.
Also, putting the widget option in "general" seems wierd. Would a widget section in the advanced tab make more sense?

Thanks again for the great work!!!!

xxxpholie Friday, March 31, 2006 5:39:00 PM

No luck with mplayer-plugin here sad. It only displays gray window where the movie should be. In other browser it works as usually.

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Friday, March 31, 2006 5:42:05 PM

pholie, I would be interested in knowing
a) the mplayerplug-in version used,
b) the gecko-sdk it is linked against,
c) the parameters you used when compiling it and
d) a URL where you see that happening.

If you did not compile mplayerplug-in yourself, please details on the distro you are using. Thanks smile

Lito Friday, March 31, 2006 5:44:35 PM

Fixed bug with attachment button on gmail;


No more double click! Thank you party.

By the way, the upload files bug is still there: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=113354 yuck

After couple restarts still...
Only localhost pages reloaded, all others just blank with their address in field. So, I need to reload all of them manually one by one.

Fixed bug with pages not loaded on restart;


this not fixed.Coctiune from last time(6-8 pages)6 pages not load.sad

xxxpholie Friday, March 31, 2006 6:04:08 PM

csant: Distro's archlinux. Everything is from the packages, nothing compiled on my own.

The info:
mplayer-plugin 3.21
This is from the build script I found:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-faad --enable-gtk2 --enable-wmp \
--enable-qt --enable-rm --enable-gmp
make LDFLAGS="" || return 1

I don't know which version delvelopers compiled it against but I found out that things are built against xulrunner (which has replaced gecko-sdk). PKGBUILD here if interested:
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lib/xulrunner/PKGBUILD?rev=1.1&cvsroot=Extra&only_with_tag=CURRENT&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Some URL, e.g. apple traliers: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/water/trailera/small.html

One more thing, I downloaded the .5 version of Opera but usually use the 6 one if that makes difference.

I guess I'll now try to compile some things myself and see if that helps.

adamos Friday, March 31, 2006 6:06:37 PM

depedienses is incorrect
in debian etch is libqt3-mt, opera need libqt3c102-mt

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Friday, March 31, 2006 6:07:07 PM

pholie, thanks for feedback. It might still be necessary to configure mplayerplug-in with --enable-x .

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Friday, March 31, 2006 6:07:44 PM

adamos, yes, know problem.

Stevesgunhouse Friday, March 31, 2006 6:23:19 PM

No Linux .6? cry

Ever going to fix the regression with visited links?

Zeppelinzeppelin0p Friday, March 31, 2006 6:33:49 PM

i would like to ask a noob question

whats the difference between shared and static version on linux?

tnx

kuuba Friday, March 31, 2006 6:58:00 PM

Noticed a bug just recently (i.e. introduced in some last builds for mac) - Opera hangs when overwrite dialog was displayed at download. I wonder if the reason of bug is some memory leak since this build fixed it.
I even couldn't complain about bug before it was fixed. smile
Respect.

Incorrent workarea detection for widgets in fullscreen mode when windows taskbar docked to the left/right

varyform Friday, March 31, 2006 7:14:48 PM

and still there is problem with edit/combo controls clickthrough in widgets (screenshot)

xxxpholie Friday, March 31, 2006 7:44:21 PM

csant, i tried it with --enable-x but it disables support for GTK which results in missing symbols (and Firefox crashing smile). So it must be something else.

/usr/lib/opera/plugins/operapluginwrapper: symbol lookup error: /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/mplayerplug-in-qt.so: undefined symbol: XpmCreatePixmapFromData

/opt/mozilla/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/mplayerplug-in-qt.so: undefined symbol: XtWindowToWidget

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Friday, March 31, 2006 8:01:09 PM

pholie, a good place to discuss it could be this thread - it'll be much easier to keep an overview about the issue. Thanks for feedback! smile

AlexandrZybex Friday, March 31, 2006 8:14:35 PM

Will Dapper-builds work on Breezy Badger (5.10)?

Espen B. AnderssonEspenA Friday, March 31, 2006 8:16:45 PM

The white-space: nowrap; has finally been fixed - that's great news. smile

John BarnettJohn164 Friday, March 31, 2006 8:41:30 PM

Opera build 8333 crashes when Opera widgets is clicked on my Windows 2000 pro + SP4 PC.

Sebastian Cancinosscancinos Friday, March 31, 2006 8:45:42 PM

It crashes as soon as I log-in in gMail.

Hylic Friday, March 31, 2006 9:07:41 PM

@John164

It crashes by me also (windows xp pro sp2).

Tim AltmanJunyor Friday, March 31, 2006 9:09:15 PM

@sgunhouse: Bug number?

Sgt_HoboSergeantHobo Friday, March 31, 2006 9:42:05 PM

Downloading now. I have a feeling I will like this one, what with memory leaks being fixed. yes

elvis Friday, March 31, 2006 9:44:57 PM

any details on content blocker fixes? i was hoping it would fix the issue where going into the content blocker automagically selects *every* image on the page for blocking, but that behaviour is still happening unfortunately wink

i posted my current urlfilter.ini in this thread if that helps

What was the bug with vBulletin sites?

I'm trying to keep a list of them all for future customer reference if it s required.
