Opera Unite

We just pushed out the final builds for Opera 10.10, and it comes with Opera Unite. Opera 10.10 is the first public stable version of the Opera desktop browser which comes with Opera Unite. This is a major milestone as all the public builds of the Opera desktop browser will now come with Opera Unite.

Opera Unite has come a long way since the alpha version released in June. We've fixed bugs, added features, refined development libraries and polished the applications and the documentation. Thanks to all the testing you guys helped us out with, Opera Unite now sits in the good books of our QA team as well

To celebrate this, we have revved up the Weekly application challenge and we will announce a new application every day this week. Keep an eye out for new applications at http://unite.opera.com/applications

With all the testing that has been going on in the last few weeks, it seems our proxy servers have been behaving well. We figured that is probably not enough though. We want to put the proxy servers through some more stress. This is all to make way for Opera 10.10, which will have Opera Unite as a regular feature of the desktop browser.

To do this, we have created a new service, "Sonar". This service will help us load test our proxy servers even better. All this service does, is sit quietly on your computer. When we run a test, data is requested from around the world. We request a small amount of data from each instance of this service, to help us observe our proxy's behaviour.

Now, once again, to be able to test this on a large scale, from every corner of the world, we need your help. All you need to do is download Sonar and keep it running on your Opera Unite builds.

Of course, you can stop the service at any time to opt out of the testing. Once again, thanks for all the help. You guys are great !
