2nd :-D

The rest of you must be slipping! Not expecting another weekly/release a day early?

Thanks devs - looking good.

Is it build 8585? If so then I won't bother upgrading on this machine yes.

Is it build 8585? Yes

MikeHaugland Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:45:00 PM

Excellent! Great work!

Remco Lantingremcolanting Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:46:58 PM

Will the final (and weeklies) also be available through deb.opera.com? That would certainly make upgrading a lot easier. I could only find 9.0 and 9.01 builds there, and no weeklies at all sad

Either way, I'm already waiting for the next weekly smile Keep up the good work!

Definitely a good work smile Anyway, I'm still wondering whether it's necessary to develop Opera built-in BitTorrent client, when one can have small, fast and secure application, written especially with this one purpose in mind, like uTorrent? The first thing I do after installing a new copy of Opera anywhere is disabling this facility. It's still too much struggle for me smile to use it. On the other hand, everything else works just as I would want it to.

Thank you again. I suppose Opera 10 is going to be something no one can expect yet p

Fabio Palliniflitz Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:54:16 PM

So SSL RSA Signature secury hole has been fixed! wink No more secure holes at Secunia! Opera devs, fast as always... time fix the remaining bugs of 9.0. Waiting for 9.03......

Kevinhalcyoncmdr Thursday, September 21, 2006 11:19:43 PM

Wow, it seems the releases are coming a whole lot more often than before. I like it, don't get me wrong, but its kind of weird for the other people I know. smile

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Thursday, September 21, 2006 11:26:26 PM

Awesome! Hopefully the weeklies will continue at a regular pace tho. wink

desmasic Thursday, September 21, 2006 11:46:28 PM

Here's the change-log (for 9.02.. prob includes this build changes):
http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/902/

I have no idea why there isn't a link to change log next to the download page on Opera site. That's the first thing I like to read when updating my softwares p

Good work though, finally updating from 8573..

João EirasxErath Friday, September 22, 2006 12:41:43 AM

where's the classic installer ?

Congratulations!

J.R. Raithjrronimo Friday, September 22, 2006 2:58:39 AM

So it's the same as RC2?

Which means my volume keys still don't work when Opera has focus? sad

This is a really annoying 'feature'... but at least they do /nothing/ now, rather than in RC1 or the build before that when they tabbed between hyperlinks everywhere.

Please give us our multimedia keys back!

For those asking, Opera 9.02 final is the same as Opera 9.02 RC 2 released on this blog. The builds are:

- Windows: 8585
- Mac: 3512
- UNIX/Linux: 434

HydanSeeker Friday, September 22, 2006 4:20:38 AM

@devs,

As 9.02RC2 (now 9.02 final) was originally released on Tuesday, can we expect first 9.03 weekly build tomorrow? :-)

OperaNoobie Friday, September 22, 2006 4:21:13 AM

I would like to remind Opera devs of a long standing Opera regression which appeared with the release of Opera 9 and wasn't present in Opera 8.54:

THE INABILITY TO COMPLETELY MOVE A PROFILE TO ANOTHER LOCATION AND HAVE OPERA 9 USE ONLY THAT LOCATION FOR ALL PROFILE RELATED FILES AND RETRIEVED WEB CONTENT.

In Opera 8.54, I'm able to modify the opera6.ini file so that I can move my entire profile to another location other than the default one, leaving behind only opera6.ini, and Opera 8.54 will use the relocated profile files and folders and not try to recreate them in the default location. After doing so and then starting Opera 8.54 and browsing the web, the only file found in the default profile location is opera6.ini. Everything else goes to the locations specified in opera6.ini It only needs opera6.ini in the default location in order to know where to look for the other stuff.

Not so with Opera 9. With Opera 9, if I move the profile structure to another location and modify the opera6.ini and all related user preferences so that all items that once pointed to the default location now point to the new location, Opera 9 recreates the folders in the default location and uses at least some of them to store retrieved web content. When will Opera 9 be fixed so that profiles can be moved to another location and Opeara 9 will not try to do anything with the default location other than look for opera6.ini in order to find where to put the cache, images, mail, saved sessions, etc.?


Please fix this long standing regression.

Thanks for Opera! I'm testing 9.02 release now.

Under Linux i386, shared opera snap (before final 8.02; didn't test 8.02 yet) was crashing when there was no free hdd space on /home partition.

ThArGos Friday, September 22, 2006 6:48:40 AM

#Last but not least
Thank you for the good work!
Great teamwork!
Long live to Opera!

biggman15 Friday, September 22, 2006 7:59:50 AM

So it looks like the Multimedia Keys are still broke... This a deal Breaker... I'm not moving past 8.54 until the Multimedia Keys work properly again... My computer is a Jukebox that surfs the web...

I hope something is done... Still a great job...

b.noise Friday, September 22, 2006 8:21:16 AM

Little bug: when selecting 'Help'/'Check for Updates' Opera said that the new version is 90.2, instead of 9.02. This happened also for the 9.01 wich was called 90.1.

oblogdele Friday, September 22, 2006 9:10:54 AM

Hey, for the next version, how about adding tagging to the bookmarks ? something like del.icio.us

illiad Friday, September 22, 2006 10:16:39 AM

so, um, what is the diff between 8584 and 8585????

ei4ia Friday, September 22, 2006 10:18:33 AM

"Please give us our multimedia keys back!"

in fact ALL global hotkeys of course. Please fix this childish bug.

ToHtorrent Friday, September 22, 2006 10:45:30 AM

Hi, i notice this bug long ago.
Why Opera open this RAR instead of downloading it?

"Hi, i notice this bug long ago.

Because the file types are incorrectly configured on the hosting server, it has nothing to do with Opera.

illiad Friday, September 22, 2006 11:04:23 AM

check your 'Prefs, Adv,download' specs....

Remco Lantingremcolanting Friday, September 22, 2006 11:05:33 AM

Because the server sends the file with the header: "Content-Type: text/plain"

Twilo Friday, September 22, 2006 11:32:46 AM

I have a cache problem
Opera allways use wrong images

Piers Kittelenglishdude Friday, September 22, 2006 2:00:28 PM

Just a FYI. I had a long running problem that was fixed in Opera for OSX 9.01 but now is back - whenever I use a mouse gesture that uses the right mouse button, and when I complete the mouse gesture, the contextual menu pops up. Very extremely annoying. I can restart Opera and this problem goes away but not a good solution. Cheers - Piers

168kb screen shot (1000px wide 200dpi).

The issue: The bar where the trash bin is, is verical when it should be or was
horizontal witch can potentially rain into open windows quicker than if hor?
Plus it's more of an eye sore vertical.


Oh and if I didn't mention it, the cult of Firefox seems to seep into Squidoo, granted they said they'd fix the code for Opera 9x but maybe something Opera can do to circumvent the coding error(s) in logging in, in case I forgot to mention it.
I haven'tried the final yet, so if this is fixed, great.

Oh Wordpress widget problems seem to be related to a K6-2 Desktop with 98SE.

Ilja Nedilkouniorzeroman Friday, September 22, 2006 3:50:52 PM

Hi, guys. Thanks for the final build! *Waiting for next weekly/daily ( p ) build's*.

AlexanderXRock Friday, September 22, 2006 3:52:06 PM

Bug with icons and non-opening pages is still here

Peter HinkovPeterX Friday, September 22, 2006 4:26:08 PM

My dear Opera Masters!

Excuse me, but I with my(our) problem about Code Pages Windows-1251 again.

THE PROBLEM.
Par example, the concrete Code Page is Windows-1251, but the host server send(return) it with ANOTHER code instruction - more often than not: ISO-8859-1 (UTF-8).

If so we choise:
View / Encoding(here "Аutomatic Selection" not work) / Cyrillic(here "Automatic Detection" not work too) / Windows-1251 !

Note that this choise work once, for the next co-pages, the action must be repeat for every page!
Sorry, but this is very primitively.
(Remind: Your Opera 8.54 show Code Pages Windows-1251 fully correct, without showed up problem).

Thats all. It is so hard to understand this problem and fix it?
I wonder why they aren't here the Windows-1251 Code Page readers?
Or all servers are already fully correct?

Hello, russian Opera freaks! Why you are dumb about this problem?

Gölök Zoltán Leenderdt Franco BudayOrff Friday, September 22, 2006 4:59:37 PM

<script type="text/javascript">
// focus on empty fields
var emailField = $('email_address');
if (!emailField.value.length) {
emailField.select();
emailField.focus();
} else {
var passwordField = $('member_password');
passwordField.select();
passwordField.focus();
}
</script>

Is the Squidoo logon javascript, maybe this is where it messes up (e-mail format).

No changes to previoud post.

There's a problem with the start menu icon (WinXP). When opera is set as default internet application the icon dissapears.
Nice build though, thanks!

chrislu Friday, September 22, 2006 5:46:48 PM


There will be more builds from 9.0x posted here pretty soon, some to verify fixes, but we may also try out a couple of experiments on you (consider yourself warned ). But for now, browse safely and have a nice weekend!



this was a month ago. so now where are the experiments wink let 'em loose! wink

FataL Friday, September 22, 2006 5:52:27 PM

@chrislu: As I told previously - that "experiments" is about not feeding us weekly... And see if we can survive. lol

Medium Friday, September 22, 2006 7:06:49 PM

I was expected such a version in June. Late, but I'm thanking!
Perhaps I will finally hang up Opera 8.54 smile

aimzz Friday, September 22, 2006 8:42:56 PM

desmasic - thanks for posting Changelog link smile

vespesian Friday, September 22, 2006 9:49:03 PM

Nice. Much, much faster for me than 9.01.

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, September 22, 2006 10:51:51 PM

I'm having trouble using my domain email site for godaddy.com. The email server is https://email.secureserver.net/ if anyone can test it with their godaddy email account. They claim that opera is not a campable browser, but masking as anything else usually makes it work fine, but sometimes the browser page hangs up and won't load anything. I'mnot sure if its a browser issue for sure or not, but it is very annoying. Doesn't seem to happen in IE.

EDIT: The Full version web based email client is the one witht he problems. The lite weight version is fine.

Andresandresruiz Saturday, September 23, 2006 4:04:03 AM

Hi
Yes, It's true, that now Yahoo Mail Beta works on Opera 9,02...but it's very slow...IE7 RC2 is faster !!. Am sure you'll be able to fix that and add some performance to it.

Mmm, trying to reply this on Opera RSS "viewer" using the quck reply option opens the famous "error console" why that happen ? If I remember well, the quick reply option have never worked (on my pc) your's too?

Bye

OK, wrong header from server, BUT open link in IE - voilà!
Because too many such "incorrect configurations" and f*n' IE solve problem, there is what "to do with Opera".
