Weekly

By Arjan van LeeuwenAVL. Thursday, May 11, 2006 12:17:49 PM

, , , ,

First post! I guess there's a first time for everything. I know you were all very disappointed that there was no weekly last week, so we're here to surprise you with a very nice mid-weekly, which can actually load my.opera.com smile.

M2 has seen several fixes these last weeks, especially in the IMAP code. If you've been suffering from a problem where IMAP stops fetching mails, please try this build and report your results. If your IMAP account keeps 'refetching' messages on startup, you might have to reset your account by deleting it and adding it again.

For those who had NTLM problems in the latest build, please enable and test it again.

We also added multi-tracker support to BitTorrent and did some small optimizations, so torrent users should test this as well.

Happy hunting!

Changelog

  • Several display fixes.
  • Several IMAP fixes.
  • Added context menu for widget panel.
  • Added always below for widgets.
  • Added folders in widget panel.
  • Fixes for NTLM.
  • Fixed issue where having installed many many fonts could confuse opera.
  • Several stability fixes.
  • Fixed bug with illegal nested tables.
  • Multitracker support for BT.
  • BT file hash check saved in meta data file to reduce the need for  
    checking files on resume.
  • Fixed bugs where opera re-downloads old feeds.
  • added widget panel into panel customization dialog.
  • Fix for larger images getting scrambled


Unix specific:
  • Fixed deadkeys in input.
  • Fixed installation with X.org 7.
  • Stability fixes with Java applets.

It looks like the selection bug is fixed smile Nice!

TommyTommy2k4 Thursday, May 11, 2006 12:24:59 PM

Awesome! I been waiting for ages for this!

RamūnasRamunas Thursday, May 11, 2006 12:25:12 PM

Neat smile

NoobSaibot Thursday, May 11, 2006 12:25:58 PM

I really like those!

Dierk HaasisEvo2Me Thursday, May 11, 2006 12:44:29 PM

Any idea why the Currency Converter Widget is shown but only dimmed and does not work?

Szőts Ákosszotsaki2 Thursday, May 11, 2006 12:52:05 PM

And the my.opera.com is working bigsmilebigsmile

Philipp Schröderpipipde Thursday, May 11, 2006 12:59:43 PM

opera still crashes when i want to minimize it into tray (linux; fluxbox)
... and there is no possibility to disable this trayicon

Agoagostinog Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:00:12 PM

For the NTLM authentication, the navigation between sites works well but doesn't work for example authentication to emails.

Dierk HaasisEvo2Me Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:01:41 PM

The 'Flash obstructing menu when ID is Opera or Mozilla'-problem still exists. Works with 8.x and when ID is Internet Explorer.

Bill PBill_P Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:02:08 PM

Widget comments (a couple)

- I had to reinstall all mine, the existing ones wouldn't display
- the top, below, normal option does nothing (at least for me)
- though I highlight multiple widgets in the panel only one opens when 'open' clicked
- double clicking an opened widget in the panel should close it
- a 'check for updates' would be nice

I'm running Linux

Martin RauscherHades32 Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:02:21 PM

I'm very disappointed that you didn't return to the exposé Effect for the Widgets. I think the user should be able to chose if he likes Exposé or not.
Anyway, how will the privileges of widgets look like? Am I able to get the current open tab from JavaScript? In the forum nobody seems to know.

CaseCase1 Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:10:39 PM

Deadkeys FINALLY working, so no need to use static version anymore! Yay! That is the best bugfix in a LONG time, for me. Thanks for that!

Johan Borgborg Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:11:43 PM

Hades32, if you liked the widget mode, I suggest you play around with the always below setting in this build.

Now you can place your favorite widgets on the desktop and just press the "Show Desktop" button (in the quick launch bar on Windows) to access them all.

graste Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:12:07 PM

I would like to have folders for my newsfeeds, too. p

Yanhaoyan Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:12:23 PM

my feeds r gone~~~

Yanhaoyan Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:14:57 PM

where s my feeds?

RiskyNet Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:17:32 PM

Works great for me ^^

AlexanderXRock Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:20:52 PM

I see the bug with repeating newsfeeds was fixed and this thing was very annoying in the previous build. Thanks!

RealChillyWilly Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:27:10 PM

The big jpg corruption bug is fixed!!

Thanx!

xpahos Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:27:39 PM

what about Feeds as in IE7 ???

Steffen74 Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:28:43 PM

And Operas Print-Process crashes again if I use the print preview at a side with frames.

ŁukaszDro77naR Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:30:26 PM

Links in news and RSS still don't work.

And I'm furious!!! I was downloading a big file from torrent and after updating Opera started downloading from the beginning!!!

Jeff Schillerjeffschiller Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:31:00 PM

One request: Can you add bug numbers to the changelog? It would really help for those originators who are internally tracking the bugs they've raised to know when they have been fixed. Things like "Several stability fixes" doesn't really help. Opera developers must have this information already. If my bugs haven't been addressed I'd prefer not to spend the cycles verifying them myself in a new build.

Another alternative is to open up your bug database so we can query to find out when our bugs have been closed. But I'm sure you already know people are asking for this one.

Jakub81 Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:33:08 PM

Now, with "Always below" option, widgets are much better! Thanks smile

Christos Lazaridiskriz_gr Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:40:29 PM

The always below thingy for the widgets does not work for linux builds or is it just me?

Anyway, keep up the great work people!

NoobSaibot Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:40:33 PM

NTLM Authentication's still broken cry

Tim AltmanJunyor Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:43:39 PM

@NoobSaibot: Would you please expand on what exactly is broken?

ŁukaszDro77naR Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:50:34 PM

@kriz_gr: it's ok on SuSE 10.0

Rijk Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:52:37 PM

@Hades32, borg:

Keyboard users might prefer Windowskey-D (show desktop) or Windowskey-M (minimize all) to show the background widgets.

NoobSaibot Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:53:21 PM

it fails to authenticate. i get the authentication dialog over and over again.

Rijk Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:54:14 PM

@Dro77naR:

Do you have an example feed where the links are not clickable?

Tim AltmanJunyor Thursday, May 11, 2006 1:59:22 PM

@NoobSaibot: on http, https, e-mail, or...? Has it ever worked? What kind of setup is it?

Joey WaghWajo357 Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:07:33 PM

ntlm is broken for me as well for a https. It used to work in 8.5x. I do not know how to check the setup.

Bill PBill_P Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:10:46 PM

Still getting repeat news feeds but not as many as in previous build

Hugo Del Castillohcastill Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:18:55 PM

Always below is a great idea. Hope you bring back the F6 key to bring the widgets to screen instantly.

NoobSaibot Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:22:06 PM

it fails on http, and yes it did work with opera preview 1 and less. sorry, can't tell you right now which configuration is used by our company.

btw. i tried the simple username password method, i tried the domain/username password method, and i tried the username@domain password method.

neither of them succeded.

Adhemar Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:34:16 PM

Congratulations on your first post, oh mysterious "AVL". Sometimes I feel like I just don't *know* the people behind Opera.
I mean, who is this new hotshot who's messing with my favourite browser?
Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Yngve Nysæter Pettersenyngve Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:44:49 PM

"domain\username" is the correct way to enter usernames for NTLM servers.

When I tested it, normal HTTP and HTTPS through an NTLM proxy worked fine. But try enabling HTTP 1.1 for proxy.

Bontzybontzy Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:50:35 PM

why is this tagged wii and world peace ? p

NoobSaibot Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:52:04 PM

@yngve

hmmm, i'm sure i did activate it as i was testing. however, it works now. i still get the authentication dialog from time to time, though, even if opera loads the page in behind.

can't login in to opera community for some reason. it loads forever.

Blackforge Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:53:21 PM

For those having issues with NTLM, please try the following:

Either uninstall Opera and reinstall it, or it install it into a new directory. I had been upgrading over the previous builds and NTLM wasn't working for me. When I did a clean install NTLM started working.

torindan Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:57:44 PM

RSS and Gmail and M2 with IMAP are working very nice.
Thank you for great build.

Arjan van LeeuwenAVL Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:58:05 PM

@Adhemar: Why, thank you!

*AVL silently adds 'Adhemar' to Opera's internal list of paranoid users*

Pendarric Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:14:19 PM

The positioning for the content on this page is broken.

http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Ad_Muncher/1031644604/1

This is a regression. It worked fine in all previous Opera versions. Be it 9.x or 8.x and so on.

Can anyone else confirm?

olli Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:18:40 PM

Pendarric: reported

velmu Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:20:49 PM

Yay-hooray! Running the Mac build... Hope this fixes the beachball effect I've been getting when waking from sleep smile QuickTime woes still there, though.

Pendarric Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:21:55 PM

@Olli

Awesome, thank you. smile

Keep up the good work.

Ar1Pear1pe Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:43:51 PM

Thank you! Again!

Ranjan Groverrgrover Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:45:51 PM

I guess you guys are aware of the Google Calendar and Google Maps problems. Do you have a time line to fix/support it? Good build overall though.
