Server Upgrade to 4.14.938

Yesterday afternoon the Opera Mini servers were upgraded to version 4.14.938. The main improvements are
  • many site specific fixes
  • image download page now supports CSS background images
  • adjusted JavaScript timeouts (improved user experience on some pages)

Since a server upgrade automatically benefits all users no manual change is required. If you have questions or feedback please post to the Opera Mini Forum.

Server Upgrade to 4.13.756

Today, the Opera Mini servers have been upgraded to 4.13.756. The changes in this release include
  • better support for delayed JavaScript events (eg. dynamic menus)
  • improved site compatibility
  • fixed issues related to phone number detection in websites
  • enhancements regarding form submission and handling of forms in general
  • handling of images showing maps
  • better handling of file downloads
  • improved support for mapping sites
  • fixed an issue with internal 'go to top' links

A note for web developers: we updated the Opera version number in the
UA string to 9.8.

There is no need to do any changes to benefit from this update since improvements of the servers affect all Mini users automatically.

Server Upgrade to 4.12.866

The global Mini cluster was upgraded by the server team yesterday afternoon. This release's highlights include:

  • improved site compatibility
  • better support of image maps
  • login and JavaScript dialogs now have enhanced UTF-8 support
  • partial support for designMode/ contentEditable was implemented
  • <blink> and <marquee> are now always shown
  • better handling of pages with very weak contrast
  • and many bug fixes

All Opera Mini users automatically benefit from the upgrade (no manual change is needed, though it is possible to check the server version using the "debug:" URL).

Have a lot of fun! :hat:

Server Upgrade to 4.11.458

The global Mini cluster was upgraded by the server team Monday evening CET. The main improvements include:

  • enhanced site compatibility
  • a fix for pages with internal links
  • improved synchronization
  • binary files are always offered for download

Since JavaScript site patches are used to improve site compatibility, an enhancement allowing developers to bypass those patches has been included. The setting is available when entering the "config:" URL, but should always be enabled for normal usage.

All users automatically benefit from the upgrade (no manual change is needed, though it is possible to check the server version using the "debug:" URL).

Happy surfing! :cheers:

Mobile View & Feeds

Our users reported a problem where after visiting feeds, sites were shown in Desktop mode, regardless of the setting before going to the feeds. This morning we pushed a minor server upgrade (new version is 4.10.422) that takes care of the issue.

Server Upgrade to 4.10.404

The Mini server team released a new version of the Opera Mini server
today. The highlights of this release include:

  • fixes for font sizes on some sites
  • optimization of bitmap fonts on low-memory phones
  • faster JavaScript dialogs
  • some download fixes
  • fixes for lots of "clicking just reloads" problems
  • improved the layout of feeds in mobile view
  • site-specific fixes


Even though we put lot of energy in making sites work better, there
remain some not yet solved bugs, most notably in the Desktop version
of Facebook. We're working on them, but had to postpone them to avoid
delaying this release.

As usual, there is no need to make any manual changes to benefit from
a server upgrade. Enjoy using Mini!

Opera Mini Server updates

During a team building session in Poland last week the Mini server team decided to put more ressources in telling the community about server upgrades and relevant changes. The main channel for this information will be this (the Opera Mini) blog.

Small update of Opera Mini 4.2 for Android

, ,

Since the release of Opera Mini 4.2 for Android last week, we have worked on fixing two bugs:

  • Prefilled forms will now stay prefilled when opened
  • When a video is played on the system player, Opera Mini doesn't exit

The new version is now available on Android Marked (Applications -> Communication).

We hope you all enjoy Opera Mini on Android as much as we do!

Regards,
The Opera Mini team
