We have just released the release candidate of Opera Dragonfly 1.1 on the cutting-edge (coming soon) and experimental paths. This will be the build that will be pushed to the default path unless we find any P1 bugs during the final testing and cooling down phase. Work will then switch to feature development on Opera Dragonfly 1.2, including features such as a profiler and collapsing to shorthands in the CSS Inspector.

New features and enhancements since the last snapshot

The search feature in the Resource Inspector has been upgraded to match the search field in the DOM Inspector and JavaScript debugger. This includes the navigation buttons and badge to highlight the current and total matches. The search has also been removed from resource types that do not have textual content, such as fonts and images.

The UI continues its makeover and refinement. The toolbars have lost their high gloss look, making them blend better with the rest of the UI. The buttons have been improved so they look like they have been engraved into the toolbar. The general smoked glass overlay style has been tweaked and polished to give it better contrast and emphasis, and the syntax highlighting for the Console has been improved.

Along with those changes, a large number of bugs have been fixed, including all P1 bugs targeted at this release.
