Time to say goodbyeToday, we
announced that Opera has reached 300 million active users. At the same time, we made the official announcement that Opera will move from Presto to WebKit as the engine at the core of the browser.
With this, Opera will be the first major browser to switch to a completely new rendering engine.

If you have ever wanted a quick overview of different Opera products and their abilities, our documentation team has just made your wish come true:
Web specifications support in Opera products: an overviewThis document is a high-level overview of supported web specifications in various Opera products. It also lists specific product versions and which version of Presto they are using.
At time of writing, the following Opera products are listed:

Our mobile browser is so portable that a bunch of guys in our Swedish office decided to
port it to Maemo (Nokia N800/N810/N900) on their spare time!
As a special treat, this is the first version of Opera Mobile to include
Carakan, Vega, and Presto 2.5. it is perhaps thanks to these three that
intial feedback indicates that it's much (or at least noticeably) faster than both the standard Maemo browser and Firefox.
Since it is not an official product, there are some rough edges, and there's no guarantee that it will ever be released as a final product. For example, plugins are not suported, and JIT is not enabled in Carakan because it's too unstable. Take a look at the list of
known issues for more information.
If you have a Maemo phone, take Opera for a spin, and
let the team know what you think.

...
If you want to try our newest engine, Presto 2.4, you can download the
Opera Mobile 10 beta for S60. This beta is the first public version with Presto 2.4. There are some limitations, though, as listed in the
Opera Mobile 10 beta developer's introduction on Dev.Opera.
I don't have any updates on
Carakan or
Vega, but our core team is continuing work on Presto 2.4, and of course on versions beyond 2.4. There are a lot of goodies on the way for versions after 2.4, and hopefully we will be able to get future versions out much sooner.
So what happened to Presto 2.3? Well, it's actually out there in some products, such as the Linux SDK. For those of you who need more information on Presto 2.3 or if you are just curious, our documentation team just published a document detailing the
Web specifications supported in Opera Presto 2.3.
