We can has Apricots!
By Esteban Manchado Velázquez. Wednesday, 4. March 2009, 14:07:47
After a long wait, we have finally released "Apricot", the first My Opera release of 2009. In the original announcement you can see the more visible changes. A more complete list follows:
- Brand new, beta, Flash-based photo uploader. You have to click on the "Switch to Flash uploader" button on the right to use it, and allows to select several pictures at once for upload. Please submit any problems you find.
- New friend system, so that only people who you have "approved" can add you as friends.
- Added as many as 9 new translations in this release. Now we have My Opera available in 17 languages!
- Improved design and usability in photo albums.
- New welcome page for people who has just signed up for a new account. Among others, it makes it easy and quick to specify your country, so you'll be able to find more people in the Members by country page.
- My Opera buttons are now text based, which is better for accessibility and for translation.
- Improvements in the skin section, especially for authors. Now you get suggestions for improvement when you upload a skin with commonly-made mistakes, and you can specify that your skin is for Opera 9.5 (ie. skin version 3).
- Now blog posts and comments are checked for correct syntax before being sent. That will avoid some problems people have had with broken XML, which used to "break" their blogs.
- We have also fixed some issues in Dev Opera, mostly related to profile editing.
- We have started a documentation page for our public APIs. It's linked from the bottom of the page.
- The order of the subscription items is now from newest to oldest, so it's easier to find your newest subscriptions.
- When you make a comment on a blog, the page correctly "jumps" to it again.
- Fixed a lot of bugs here and there, too many and too small to mention in detail.

Sidebars and friends are now restored.
There's only one thing left. Of your friends you're not able to see who's online yet. Everyone is reported to be offline. We have disabled the "online reporting" feature because that was the single part causing all the slowness and performance/db problems.
That's being worked on.
