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! party

I wonder how the Opera Mini 5's coming along.

I ran into an interesting usage scenario today. I'd clicked through various articles to get to this page that I found rather interesting. I wanted to save the page for later reading, but I also wanted to maintain it's history sequence, so I could go back and read the articles that linked to it.

It would be neat if OM5 provided some way of doing that.

Here's an idea for the next version of Opera Mini, it should include a GeoLocation API to get either the phones GPS co-ordinates or the local cell id

Nathan Edwardsnates45 Thursday, September 10, 2009 4:42:13 PM

thanks for the upgrade...thats really on improvement...keep it guys

Has anyone actually ever looked into this bug? It's a very long-standing issue, and I'm not really sure why it still remains when regular expressions constitute such an important piece of Javascript, and non-ASCII strings are very commonly found all over the web...

An example case where this breaks a web application completely is µTorrent MiniUI ( http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=47167 ). Various users have found µTorrent MiniUI to fail because of the broken regular expressions engine. And that sucks because oftentimes, Opera Mini is the only (otherwise) usable browser on whatever device it is that they use.

Opera cheat

StephenNicky50 Saturday, September 12, 2009 1:50:48 AM

What exactly do u mean? @ogilo

Isaac Umukoroguy4info Saturday, September 12, 2009 7:55:29 PM

Damn! The upgrade is worth it...

Zini StanleyStan81 Saturday, September 12, 2009 8:38:21 PM

Operamini in nigeria is currently offline for those of us using mtn.... I need a solution

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, September 12, 2009 9:01:13 PM

If it's only offline for one network then it's the network doing it, not Mini. Keep a pay and go SIM from another network and top it up as needed.

I posted a bug report a while ago. A BLOG search won't show any more than the first page (10) results. It used to be a problem on the blog community roll page but was fixed - can they fix it in blogs? I think it has to do with the old restriction of 10 results google placed on wap browsers. It's a shame as I added a search blog by colour matrix in my welcome post that is stifled by it.

João Davidpiroxicam Sunday, September 13, 2009 2:11:07 PM

In Hi5 we can not view pictures. All we get is the description and a blank square in place where the picture should be. Please fix it.

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, September 13, 2009 3:37:44 PM

They show up for me.

Masseu KhiangtéTluangtea Sunday, September 13, 2009 7:13:53 PM

Operamini is the best!

Masseu KhiangtéTluangtea Sunday, September 13, 2009 7:15:26 PM

It would be really nice if we could use omegle.com . Can it be fixed?

VipZZZrewar Sunday, September 13, 2009 7:20:03 PM

Yeah it is d best

Zini StanleyStan81 Monday, September 14, 2009 1:17:20 AM

Furie everything seem to work for you. I cant open sites that are ur to 300kb with my mini. It says i dont have settings when i try

Opera u're too good

Dark FurieFurie Monday, September 14, 2009 11:03:02 AM

I tried that Omegle and that didn't work. wink After seeing what the site does I'm kinda glad about that. scared.

Some networks set a 300KB limit on data usage, per click if you catch my meaning. Give yours a call and find out if they do that. You may be able to convince them to change it, if there's been enough complaints anyway.

Zini StanleyStan81 Monday, September 14, 2009 11:47:19 AM

Ok thanks:)

53north Monday, September 14, 2009 4:40:25 PM

They ought to be glad opera mini is around to compress sites and make browsing popular. I found opera mini 3.1 to be better for big image sites, as it pages things up to downloadable chunks.
Still no luck with using a marquee on my blog today..

MikmikSollaradiation Monday, September 14, 2009 11:35:59 PM

I'm wondering how opera mini 4.2 cant open the wap.txtmate.com while the late 3.xxx can. Any solution opeRa team? Can we have the tab browsing and copy text option from an opened site back please? Thanks.

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, September 15, 2009 12:51:12 AM

You never had those options to begin with so I doubt you'll get them "back".

Masseu KhiangtéTluangtea Tuesday, September 15, 2009 1:40:57 PM

@Sollaradiation: that would be great if tab browsing was possible...and the copy text option would sure be very helpful.

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, September 15, 2009 1:44:13 PM

For those of you using opera mini in nigeria(mtn),don't worry it just a matter of time b'cos mtn has just finished upgrading their network

Fred MosFredmos Saturday, September 19, 2009 8:30:32 AM
