Dragonfruit release

Yesterday we released a new version of My Opera, codenamed "Dragonfruit".

Each of the important new features in the release will be explained in detail in the community blog. This is the detailed changeset for Dragonfruit:

Add new "phototagging" feature to the photo albums. See the post in the community blog for more details.
Add new "Customize Design" functionality (see "My Page" -> "Design" -> "Customize your design"). It allows you to customize your page background and header without knowing CSS. Note that you can't customize your page if you use the default theme! See the post in the community blog for more details.
New full-screen slideshow feature for photo albums.
Improvements in social network integration: now you have the possibility of sharing your blog posts automatically on Facebook. We also fixed some bugs.
New autocomplete feature when sending PMs: just start writing the username of a friend, and a drop-down will appear with possible completions.
Add a new cool feature to the friend invite page and the messages page: you can now select a range of messages by clicking the checkbox for the first in the range, then Shift-clicking the checkbox for the last in the range.
Add a "Accept all friend requests" button.
Fixed a problem with "Save draft" that would change publication dates for blog posts.
Add Twingly ping support for blog posts.
Publish blog updates on other social networks when blogging via MMS.
Photo ratings are now shown to the owner.
Fixed an issue with multiple choice answers in polls and the preview function.
Now attached images in forums link to the original.
Other small fixes and tweaks to the forums.
Small fixes for the Link interface, particularly for notes and Mini/Mobile.
Add a date selection widget to the events/countdowns, no more typing dates by hand. You'll need a browser supporting the "date" input type, such as Opera, to see it.
Fix some issues with avatar resizing. Some issues still pending, currently looking at them. If you have concrete issues that are not fixed, please add a comment with a link to the original image.
Small bug fixes for the wallpapers section.
OEmbed bug fix: property "provider_name" is now correctly named (it used to be "provider").

And of course, a bunch of small fixes, tweaks and improvements everywhere in the site.

EDIT: I forgot to mention improvements in social network integration. Added now.

"Accept all friend requests" button.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have it other way around?
But I suppose not everyone is that grouchy, so why not have both
Deny/accept all friend requests buttons.

Hmm.. I wouldn't mind an "Ignore all friend requests" for us who like our circles to be tight

Text fields in the forums and comments areas of the Hebrew group are still LTR, instead of RTL.

The Blog search on personal blog page still only gives 1 page of results - clicking for 2nd page gives 'no search terms entered'.
Reported it, and in operamini bug report.
They fixed the same bug on the community rolling page; think it's an old google wap throwback.
