Yes, we're not kidding. Opera 11.60 beta introduces Ragnarök, our implementation of the new HTML5 parsing algorithm. Because HTML5 specifies how browsers should handle incorrect code, browsers will soon handle coding missteps the same way - a big win for web-application compatibility across browsers.

Double rainbows?

YES! That's right. Opera 11.60 adds CSS3 radial gradients, so front-end designers can create hypnotic ellipses or awesome double rainbows like Bruce made (pro tip: right-click and select Inspect Element to see how he made it).

In addition to site compatibility fixes, Opera 11.60 beta also introduces long awaited visual improvements to the Opera Mail client:

    Actually IE10 preview crashes on that double rainbow page :smile:

    I didn't understand what the double rainbow is, but the updates about mail client, these are great. Thanks for that improvement. We're waiting a solution for Google+ and some mis-sync behaviors either. Actually I don't know it was true that writing these expectations in 'this' textarea. Really don't know, but I love Opera. =)
