Post-beta weekly #1

By Johan Borgborg. Friday, April 21, 2006 3:09:36 PM

, , ,

Again I would like to thank you for helping us bring Opera 9 to beta level.

The reason we had to use the second-last build for beta was that we included more fixes in that build than we planned, which again reopened earlier bugs on our regression testing list (which we simply don't accept in a public delivery).

The weekly build today should contain the best of both: The stability enhancements from the last build, but without the regressions since the beta. Oh, and mouse gestures don't crash in Widgets anymore...

Next week you should look forward to a rougher ride again as we plan many, many fixes and improvements smile

really good work! congratulations! :-)

Hi there.
Even with this build I can't rent a car at www.europcar.de (german car-rental-service).
In the grey bar right under the "You rent a lot more than a car"-slogan there should be a menu-bar where you can make your selections (rent a car, specials, etc...).
With IE 6.0 SP2 it works correctly. I reported this bug a few minutes ago wink.

But really great work nevertheless smile !!!!

institoris Friday, April 21, 2006 4:40:58 PM

FTP has some bugs.
"folder up" link doesent work.
Russian symbols in folder names are displaying incorrectly.
(In TP1 and TP2 all was good, dont know about later versions)

i did not download the beta until now .
now which one should i download ? the beta or this weekly ?

DWz Friday, April 21, 2006 5:03:58 PM

The 'save to disk' download problem still exits, opera only downloads the first 3-4 kbytes, and then stops.

Kar Friday, April 21, 2006 5:10:56 PM

Please add "Fit to width" to site preferences. It's handle on same sites but others are displayed wrong and I must use ctrl+F11 sad

Kc4 the Greatklingoncowboy4 Friday, April 21, 2006 5:17:05 PM

Brian HuismanGreyWyvern Friday, April 21, 2006 5:24:59 PM

please please please say that this is going to be improvements and fixes to M2 and contact management...

Although I doubt they'll start on such a project between beta and final. sad

DenisCool Friday, April 21, 2006 5:29:12 PM

Just for test

Richardgriffineyes Friday, April 21, 2006 5:38:12 PM

This may be naive, but I wish these updated didn't reset my preferences.

Tolque53Tolque53 Friday, April 21, 2006 6:09:00 PM

Additional problem now with www.eurosport.de :
Try to select a movie from the upper right of the page (under video/audio fotos). When moving the mouse above this flash,
it automatically, without clicking, selects the video,
but one cannot reach the play button without circumvening the videos listing above...
Also, the opening of popups by clicking on the links in the "live score" flash to the left of the videos does not work, still.
It seems as if Opera's reporting of the mouse to the flash is wrong, could that be?
In 8.54, selecting the videos does work, as well as opening the popups.

Sorry, I can't confirm this. I've just uploaded an image on imageshack, and it worked fine.

I'm using build 241 (shared and .6) on Mandriva 2006.0, using KDE 3.4.2.

Works with me with all weeklys I tried (<10). I update always to program files/Operaweeklys using the msi installer on winXP. All settings seem to be same like before.

ChristianResearchWizard Friday, April 21, 2006 6:26:57 PM

Widgets always on top normally don't have an entry/tab in task bar of WinXP. But when I restart Opera the task bar tabs are shown although the widgets are still always on top. The tabs go again when deselecting and selecting always on top for every single widget.

Opera 9 TP2, Opera 8.54 do it right.

Galrikh Friday, April 21, 2006 6:36:03 PM

This picture in the thread don't load complete with Opera

http://forum.everquestii.info/showthread.php?t=9006

with Firefox it loads like it should

@mgillespie: I go on the page from imageshack, klick on "Choose". I choose a file and klick on "Host" then it loads up and then imageshack is like I go the first time on the page. No links to the pic.

@Fatal: This pic works @me with the newest Opera9 beta on Windows XP with SP1

desmasiic Friday, April 21, 2006 6:51:14 PM

Always use classic installer if u want to keep your settings safe. I still don't know why they haven't added an option of backing up all the settings into one nice lil file like bookmarks and stuff.

NoobSaibot Friday, April 21, 2006 6:57:32 PM

can't download the weeklies -- except the *.deb files (which i don't need) -- since the last three or more versions now.

i have defined the download behaviour for those extensions (gz, bz2) since then i guess it doesn't work anymore.

and it doesn't help to take those settings in the download behaviour back to "open download dialog".

Madiseestlane Friday, April 21, 2006 7:11:50 PM

Nice to hear, as I was a bit dissapointed when Opera crashed even after such a public Beta.

Opera is the best!

Digidani Friday, April 21, 2006 7:27:19 PM

@FataL/@Galrikh: These pictures are okay with this Weekly and with the beta for me...

Charles HoganRomDos Friday, April 21, 2006 7:30:41 PM

Well I made a big boo boo almost... I installed the beta ontop of 8.54 voice stoped working and flash is barely running a flash chat room I have did a rollback and a system restore then reinstalled 8.54 and by the grace of the great computer god every thing is working again . think I will keep the betas in the test dir from now on till i get the new update flash from 8.54

I love the new mail format

zix Friday, April 21, 2006 7:46:25 PM

worst release for me.
Upgraded from the last beta to the new one.
First had some problems to start it (already filed a bug report and sent it to you guys) and now the same old problem:

- start opera,
- send it to tray
- click again on opera (to maximize the window an have a new tab)
...... opera says: "store init() fail, engine init() fail" or something like that ;(

EDIT: made a clean install and now it works.. on the first 5 runs opera crashed before it started...

DarekGonsioR Friday, April 21, 2006 7:59:05 PM

mBank menu problem still exist:(
Simplified version of mBank menu site is here http://zajec.net/bug/o_missing_rows
PLEASE DO SOMETHING, other browsers and old Operas render this site(s) correct!

I never liked imageshack. Try this: http://tinypic.com/. I love Tinypic! Fast, effective, simple smile

I realize this doesn't solve your problem, but I just thought I'd let you know about this alternative to imageshack.

kurt abkurt2002 Friday, April 21, 2006 8:32:17 PM

@GonsioR: you know that your table has missing table-row-tags ?

linux3114a Friday, April 21, 2006 8:37:20 PM

Always the same problem. I cannot validate the speed of my connection required by this site to play streaming video ????

STRANGE..On the same machine work fine with Firefox 1.5.0.2
SuSE 10.0 KDE 3.5.2

I have few problems with Opera 9 for Linux. I'm using SuSE Linux 10.0 distribution.

First problem - rpm. When I've installed Opera using rpm file for my distribution, catching url from other programs didn't work.

So, I'm using tar.bz2 files and I'm installing Opera using ./install.sh command. But also in this method not everything is ok. I'm installing Opera firstly as root and then I'm getting message:

** (process:8056): CRITICAL **: egg_desktop_entries_add_group: assertion `egg_desktop_entries_lookup_group (entries, group_name) == NULL' failed

After root's installation, I'm installing Opera also as a user. Then I'm getting message:

user "drottnar" does not have write access to /etc
System wide configuration files:
/etc/opera6rc
/etc/opera6rc.fixed
were not installed.
Directory "/opt/kde3/share//icons/hicolor" not writable by user "drottnar", icons not installed.
Directory "/usr/share/applications" not writable by user "drottnar", desktop entry not installed.

Instead of that problems Opera works almost properly. Almost, because I have great problem with freezing. I mean, during opening some pages, or just checking emails, Opera freezes form time to time for about 15 seconds and then it starts working properly. But it happens very often sad

Another problem I have with widgets. I'd like to use dictonary.com or The Free Dictionary, but when I'm trying to pin it Opera crashes.

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or there is a problem in Opera or in my system...

Greetings,
Dro77naR
