Lazy weekend..

By Johan Borgborg. Friday, April 28, 2006 3:14:27 PM

, ,

We have a problem or two with the builds today, so we sadly can't have a weekly ready before (crossing fingers) tuesday next week.

On the bright side: You will see changes in the next weekly party

superjoppe Friday, April 28, 2006 3:25:33 PM

What can the changes be? I'd hope for a unified toolbar and a drawer in the macbuild, but its prolly just some shit for the windowsversion -_-

WildEnte Friday, April 28, 2006 3:29:00 PM

Borg,

Although slightly disappointed, your attitude is quite refreshing and your candor is quite appreciated!

Looking forward to next week...

smile

lukefab Friday, April 28, 2006 4:24:56 PM

Changes ? What kind of changes? Isn't a beta supposed to have the feature list frozen and to be tested in order to find remaining bugs ?

Mohammed S Muchhalababumuchhala Friday, April 28, 2006 4:30:19 PM

Damn sad

But hey anxiously waiting for the changes bigsmile

@lukefab a Beta dosent necessiarly mean Feature Freeze. Features can still be added. Also they could be talking about changes to the stuff thats already there. smile

Doliprane'Doliprane Friday, April 28, 2006 4:30:20 PM

yes, if it can besten the release of Opera, we can surely wait for it.

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, April 28, 2006 4:30:52 PM

ah, put me on the waiting list...

can't wait! wink

velmu Friday, April 28, 2006 4:32:31 PM

Indeed... enjoy yer May Day... oh, and hoping to see Mini 2.0 soon too devil

parsien Friday, April 28, 2006 4:41:20 PM

The suspense...

aimzz Friday, April 28, 2006 4:54:06 PM

Have a good holiday. You know we are always waiting wait

happy

xxxpholie Friday, April 28, 2006 5:01:26 PM

The change may be the JAJAH VoIP I've recently about. But I don't care much about this feature.

But I would be happy if I could run mplayer-plugin too. The implementaion inlucded like 2 weeks ago hasn't made it working for me. That would be the change smile

Kc4 the Greatklingoncowboy4 Friday, April 28, 2006 6:16:58 PM

My life is falling apart! yikes First CBC takes away my friday comedy's then this. IS THERE NO CONSITANCY IN THE WORLD ANYMORE?

adamos Friday, April 28, 2006 6:23:43 PM

long weekend in Poland smile logg waiting for weekly build smile

Charlene FerraraCharleneFerrara Friday, April 28, 2006 6:49:54 PM

Take your time, no need to rush it. Let the others commit mistakes by overhasting things. Not you, Opera knows that only quality rules. What's worth having is worth waiting for smile
See you next week.

tarzanek Friday, April 28, 2006 7:44:00 PM

Wondering if you guys will have time to fix a somehow silly bug in resuming downloads ...

Hit stop in transfers, then resume ... the progress bar, time and speed stays the same, but apparently download resumed (just no info is updated to transfer manager)
(this was in easter build and also in opera 9 beta, too lazy to check if you already fixed it wink

TIA wink


and yeah ... if I am already bugging U, the widgets get dimmed (bug in transparency) when I turn another display (on external output)

wink thnx

Benjaminvivabrevis Friday, April 28, 2006 7:56:02 PM

Relax! You already did a great job!

Pallab DeIndyan Friday, April 28, 2006 8:00:15 PM

Changes= new feature?

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, April 28, 2006 8:32:05 PM

@Indyan
we can only hope so bigsmile

HeadHunter2 Friday, April 28, 2006 9:12:47 PM

if you have more than 10 tabs open you loose the overview.
Why not make a new window open when more then 10 tabs are used?
Or put the majority a line more down.

Tamil Friday, April 28, 2006 10:32:18 PM

wait

g4qb Saturday, April 29, 2006 6:10:26 AM

check this bug out

in Op 9 build 8372

1. go to:
http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:Sn1cCeYV4OMJ:www.ipodbatteryfaq.com/+ipod+mini+battery+test&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=opera

2a. find "test"
2b. search for whole word

note that "test" is NOT found in the body of the page.



compare with 8.54 which works OK.

schrode Saturday, April 29, 2006 7:01:12 AM

@HeadHunter2: Right-click toolbar, select customize, change the Wrapping. Possibility two: Use the Window panel.

roioly Saturday, April 29, 2006 10:17:51 AM

好的...支持更好的版本!

Digidani Saturday, April 29, 2006 10:36:20 AM

@g4gb: The word "test" is found here in bottom of the page... I use the 8372.

sybs Saturday, April 29, 2006 10:57:50 AM

>You will see changes in the next weekly.


could this be a hint for a new standard skin?

Yuriyuri7 Saturday, April 29, 2006 12:00:10 PM

Good luck with new build!

BTW, online help is not comfortable for dial-up users sad
May be, ZIP or CHM it for O9 final?

János, Vinczevinczej Saturday, April 29, 2006 7:58:30 PM

I hope, that the new weekly will be at least so stable, like build 8372. Nothing crash, unlike to earliers.

StefanKhurrad Saturday, April 29, 2006 10:00:27 PM

I've found a bug in Opera 9.00 Beta Build 8371 (Windows XP) and illustrated it here:
http://www.drachenasche.de/tmp/DoubleClick.html

searchme Saturday, April 29, 2006 10:44:11 PM

My advice:

1. Stick to fridays. Skip a week to keep on a weekly schedule. I doubt that the mid-weeklies in the run-up to beta-1 were well-advised. As a one-time planner, I can say that those who object to timescale deadlines are in the right. Sole exception: military planners. Regular deadlines are useful, nevertheless, for progress releases. Weekly deadlines are good but tight. Interim deadlines to meet unrealistic expectations are counterproductive. From what I can see, new bugs are pretty well identified within a week by a (very) limited number of testers. So weeklies (not nightlies) seems to be a good schedule for opera builds. Interim builds is not a good idea, however. If you miss one, move on to the next friday.

2. Be a little more transparent about work-in-progress. Focus your testers. That doesn't exlude discovery of new bugs or old ones. Just let testers know what preoccupies you at the moment, so that they can test those areas more thoroughly.

My conclusion. Opera is the best browser on this planet or any other planet in the solar system. I reserve judgement on the universe.

Halocast Sunday, April 30, 2006 7:20:00 AM

hmm.. does the next build fix the css bug? just asking?

l0ne Sunday, April 30, 2006 8:03:48 AM

Another bug I have reported re: widgets... if I use a PHP script to serve a .wdgt with the correct MIME type, as in:

<?php
header('Content-Type: application/x-opera-widgets');
readfile('TheWidgetFile.zip');
?>

Opera 9 (latest build) fetches the .zip in the Widgets UI, then crashes.
The .zip was produced by Apple's Finder, which has been known to make unfriendly .zips, so I'll have to try again with the command-line zip tool.

@ mgillespie

you don't know very much don't you!

AleksandrChepA Sunday, April 30, 2006 1:14:43 PM

make OPERA FASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lfom Sunday, April 30, 2006 4:32:14 PM

Enjoy the weekend! Thanks for all the good work folks. Can't wait for the new build. wink

@wurzelchensen
I do agree. It looks that some people still live in the XX century.

@ChepA
Opera 9 is fast! Just has some bugs yet. I am sure the final version will take care of them.

Johnjohnf3 Sunday, April 30, 2006 8:48:08 PM

Hello,

I have thoroughly enjoyed the weekly builds put out by the team.

Today, I attempted to install a UserJS file. This is the first of this nature that I have ever had any experience with. I created a directory for storing the User JavaScript files. Then, went to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> JavaScript Options and added the location of new directory to User JavaScript files.

When adding any file, it is not recognized. I have restarted Opera and confirmed my settings. No Luck.

Are the files required to be name.js or name.user.js?

Is this not compatible with this build? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
John

It's a shame that I'm gonna be away from home on Tuesday, so I won't see earlier than Wednesday the next build sad

Tim AltmanJunyor Monday, May 1, 2006 3:42:47 AM

@mgillespie: You couldn't be more wrong. Macs are great.

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Monday, May 1, 2006 4:01:13 AM

a couple of you have failed to understand mgillespie's point and turned this thread in another direction. why is it that all computer threads i visit drift off topic to the old pc vs. mac episode? that is rediculous. mac's are just as good as pc's and pc's are just as good as mac's, unix is just as good as both. they all have their pro's and con's. there, ha, i said it and settled the whole argument. back on topic....


OPERA! isn't it great? guess what it works on all of the platforms mentioned above! yay!

anyways, its finals week, hope i'll have time to test the new beta before friday rolls around so i can have double fun this week.

cheers

I'm a chief of peace, but this time I just have to grab the 'ol tomahawk devil

I for one mostly use my Mac at home for surfing, irc, email, etc. but there's really nothing that limits it to that. Sure OS X is probably not a good platform for Windows development and some special apps are Windows-only - but Java and web development and UNIX(ish) toys, for example, are all good to go. It's not just a pretty face you picture it to be rolleyes

The higher cost of hardware is for everyone to judge for themselves. Actually the only unique feature, design apart, of Intel-based Macs is that you can boot any of the popular OSs on one laptop. Fully supported. That's something you don't get when booting OS X on PC hardware - actually I think the license prohibits it smile

Diversity is good. Ugh.
