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!

Great! up

JustinRacket Monday, June 8, 2009 2:54:16 PM

Guessing this is why if I go to my rss feeds now any site I visit thereafter is no longer in mobile view even if its set up for that in my settings.

Valgrind Monday, June 8, 2009 3:01:01 PM

Racket: That seems to be a new intermittent bug we introduced. Unfortunately QA didn't catch it because it happends... sometimes.

We are working on tracking that one down now.

JustinRacket Monday, June 8, 2009 3:05:38 PM

Thats cool, thank you for the quick reply Valgrind smile

tomassplatch Monday, June 8, 2009 3:12:11 PM

I noticed changed font on some sites, they are thinner and look much better. thank you!

Valgrind Monday, June 8, 2009 3:28:12 PM

Got a 100% reproducable test case now. Thanks for the report. There will probably not be a fix today, but you should be able to work around it by pressing "1", choosing desktop mode, and then switch back to mobile.

JustinRacket Monday, June 8, 2009 3:56:15 PM

Thanks again smile

Yea thats how I've been getting around the mobile view problem so far.

Also noticed that on a few sites that if there's already text in a text box, like if I want to reply to someone on a forum quoting their message, after the reply page loads I can see their text in the reply box, but if I click on it to type my own text, anything that was in it before is gone.

Doesn't wipe it clean for all text boxes but it does happen everytime I try to do the example I gave.

Thanks so much for all the hard work guys and the server upgrade,i love using opera mini.

DJNgomadjngoma Monday, June 8, 2009 4:27:16 PM

Thanx for the update but as Racket said before, the text boxes filled with text seem to appear empty if you try to i.e. Reply to forum posts with a quote. So I'm kind of screwed now as I use the quote option quite a bit.

prking Monday, June 8, 2009 4:53:23 PM

Thanks for the update, its great to see things happening.

Dark FurieFurie Monday, June 8, 2009 7:09:05 PM

cool This just keeps getting better.

tinhoy Tuesday, June 9, 2009 1:32:47 AM

Thanks! Twitter reverting to the smaller font size is great.

Still can't tweet in Standard Twitter web interface though sad Can actually enter a tweet and click the Update button, but then it doesn't actually update.

Donnadasmysts Tuesday, June 9, 2009 4:23:06 AM

how do I download updates/upgrades?

Alexei Morozovmorav Tuesday, June 9, 2009 4:54:50 AM

When, opera mini 5?

Secaundis Tuesday, June 9, 2009 5:18:47 AM

Textbox is empty!

prking Tuesday, June 9, 2009 6:29:13 AM

Can confirm, text boxes which already contain text, lose the text when you enter them. Hopefully can be easily fixed.

ZBARTA GABRIELSAGRID Tuesday, June 9, 2009 11:22:32 AM

Well, 320 was with bigger fonts 404 with smaller and 416 with what?

Alex4EZ Tuesday, June 9, 2009 11:56:44 AM

@mobile view issue: it will be fixed as part of the next server release, though we don't have a schedule for that yet.

Labond2000 Tuesday, June 9, 2009 5:16:38 PM

Alex74Ale Tuesday, June 9, 2009 6:09:22 PM

Since two days I can't access the ordered by date RSS feeds page, as the connection to the server results expired. I tried to use as Wi-fi as GPRS web access. Does anyone meet the same problem?

Keldian.-Keldian Tuesday, June 9, 2009 7:32:21 PM

It's a good thing to know, thanks for this effort!

Have you put a bug report in?
Menu, Tools, Help, Bug Report then fill in the form with as much information about the problem as you can. up

chilibowl Thursday, June 11, 2009 6:29:55 AM

Just signed up after seeing a thread about opera mini on sprintusers.com. I was stoked when I could get the Drudge report and a few other sites. But I was bummed that I cant get yahoo mail. But Opera beats my SPH-M520 Browser by a mile. I would like to have more control in my settings though. Thank you for all your hard work.

Dark FurieFurie Friday, June 19, 2009 11:22:30 AM

Does anyone actually read these posts? Three tiny paragraphs and one list. That's all there is to it. bomb

theoddbod Saturday, June 20, 2009 6:07:02 PM

Nah, they just see the word 'upgrade' and look for a download link rolleyes

chilibowl Sunday, June 21, 2009 2:53:52 AM

we read them.

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, June 21, 2009 4:09:31 AM

Yeah, but you're hunting for beer at the time so we don't expect you to read it. Even so you aren't one of the many who insist on asking for a download link when the post clearly states no new download is needed.

Meerannareem786 Sunday, June 21, 2009 3:05:37 PM

Hey thats really super:-) thanx for the effort

Chikwendu emmanuelEmmadon Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:37:04 AM

Opera mini takes a great lead to the future ,advancing rapidly...Great archivement

Alan GriffithsPATH1966 Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:32:54 PM

Just found Opera on my new Nokia, having finally upgraded from my old coal-driven handset. What a difference - makes mobile surfing much easier - thanks Opera.
