Opera has released the Flagship "Kestrel"

Thursday, June 12, 2008 5:00:00 PM

I'm so happy that Opera released its flagship v9.5 codename Kestrel. Read the newsflash about the new features about Opera v9.50. There are so many new features more I've quoted so read the full blog entry here: --> http://my.opera.com/community/blog/opera-9-5 <--

Opera Link: Your bookmarks, Speed Dial and even notes taken in the Opera browser can follow you anywhere. Opera Link keeps you synchronized between any Opera 9.5 desktop browser and Opera Mini, Opera's free browser for your mobile phone. In Opera 9.5 write a note - copy directions, create shopping lists or jot down anything you need to remember - and access it on any Opera 9.5 browser by simply logging in.

Find anything: Remember a word from a page you've read earlier? Find that page easily with Quick Find. Just enter a word in the address bar to find matching text from any page you have visited.

Looking sharp: Opera makes a move to modernize its look and feel to a sharp new skin with clean lines and clear icons. The 'New Tab' button and other elements have been modified to make the switch to a better Web experience more intuitive. You may also select any of our platform-specific skins to help Opera's appearance adapt to your operating system of choice.

Strengthened defense against malware and phishing: Opera's Fraud Protection not only protects you from fraudulent Web sites, it is now the first browser publically available to protect you from malware and other malicious software on the Web. Powered by Haute Secure, Netcraft, and PhishTank, Opera's Fraud Protection technology automatically blocks offending Web pages to keep you out of harm's way.

Speed: Opera continues to lead in performance. Opera 9.5 makes dramatic speed improvements to the e-mail client, RSS feeds and the browser itself, so you can spend more time getting things done online.

Opera's Flaggschiff "Kestrel" ist bald fertig...

Release, New, Kestrel, opera

Gute Neuigkeiten, liebe Freunde. In einem offenen Brief hat sich CEO von Opera Jon von Tetzchner an die hiesige Operagemeinschaft gewandt.

(...) we are ready to share the fruits of our labor with you. (...)

Er dankte damit allen - vor allem Mitarbeiter und Betatester, die sich an diesem Projekt beteiligt hatten bzw. immer noch haben, um Kestrel (Opera 9.5) fertig zu stellen und lädt uns natürlich bei Fertigstellung ein, die neue Generation von Opera zu testen.

Es wird sich mit Kestrel einiges ändern, welches Jon so formulierte:

(...) Opera 9.5 has a brand-new look that feels inspired by high-end audio equipment and Scandinavian design. Our refined address bar allows you to find *any* word on *any* Web page you have visited before. Opera Link allows you to bring your favorite browser with you, wherever you go. You can sync your bookmarks, Speed Dial, and Notes, and work seamlessly with Opera Mini, our award-winning browser for your mobile phone. We protect you against two different types of malware that may try to infect your computer. (...)

Mein Dank geht ebenfalls an alle, die hart dafür gearbeitet haben, daß die neue Version sehr bald - ich hoffe doch noch diesen Monat - fertiggestellt sein wird. Besonders den Mitarbeitern von Opera, die teilweise Überstunden geschuftet haben, um den Zeitplan einhalten zu können.
