  Hmmm... download link seems to redirect me to te 9.10. Looking for Linux version...
  
  Is it the same as last Fridays?

• Jeldert28. March 2007, 13:00:14

  Nodata, if you click the UNIX build 617 link on top of this page it will download the latest version (9.20 Beta 1).

• nodata28. March 2007, 13:01:19

  What a shame... Thank you!
  
  Also, a big thanx goes to the developers!

• ar1pe28. March 2007, 13:02:28

  Thank you again. Works beautifully!

• rxbbx28. March 2007, 13:05:43

  Thnx.. waiting for the Final

• StoB28. March 2007, 13:14:29

  What's the build number?

• ytsmabeer28. March 2007, 13:20:07

  @StoB: build 8762,
  The same as the last weekly

• dAEk28. March 2007, 13:33:49

  @borg: Thank you (the entire Opera team)!

• Zajec28. March 2007, 13:49:15

  Menubar in 9.20 beta is awful :-|

• Kuja IX28. March 2007, 13:49:28

  Thaks a lot for the fix of the cross site scripting vulnérability

• Ahui88628. March 2007, 14:07:13

  good news!
  thanks!

• Tamil28. March 2007, 14:14:18

  Thanks.

• Serpher28. March 2007, 14:17:36

  Upi! New Opera! Thx

• Charlie_X28. March 2007, 14:24:33

  Great stuff!
  
  When do we get the one with the bug-fixes to the mail client? Love speed dial, Opera and even M2 but can't wait for the rewrite. Having to manually insert blank lines on quoted text is a real drag!

• calande28. March 2007, 14:37:19

  Cool deal!
  
  The preview of my bookmarks when I open a new tab is perfect! Thanks a lot!
  
  How long will it take before other browsers copy this functionality?

• csant28. March 2007, 14:42:39

  Zajec, one opera you are running is a static, and the other one a shared build? And I guess the "awful" one is the static?

• grogge28. March 2007, 14:55:17

  Huh?!? Beta already? That was (too) fast.
  
  Still no usable search engine manager...

• cybcode28. March 2007, 14:56:36

  After opening/closing tabs a few times, Opera becomes EXTREMELY sluggish: I need to wait about 500ms until a tab gets focused (after clicking it). I need to wait for the mail client to focus too, and for mail messages to open. (I didn't have to wait in 9.1.)
  
  The sluggishness persists until I restart Opera. It seems that the more I open/close tabs, the slower Opera gets.
  
  Hiding Speed Dial doesn't help.
  
  I had to revert back to 9.1 because this problem renders 9.2 completely unusable for me.
  
  I use Ubuntu 6.10. I installed the relevant .DEB package. My machine is very fast (Core 2 Duo).

• Zajec28. March 2007, 14:58:00

  @csant ahh, get it now :-) thanks

• SoulOfDoinel28. March 2007, 15:02:27

  Is the same of 23 March 2007 ?
  When I install ask me to repair not to reinstall the new version, and the build number is the same.

• kiaM28. March 2007, 15:15:13

  Thanks, nice Beta. Speed dial is awesome!

• Twilo28. March 2007, 15:19:13

  thanks for this beta :-)

• consalt28. March 2007, 15:22:36

  I'm confused. The page zoom tool doesn't work properly at _Beta_ version. Such little bug doesn't fixed at Beta version?!!! IMHO, it's terrible!

• haavard28. March 2007, 16:01:10

  Yes, it's a beta version. That means that there will be lots of bugs.

• RicardoB28. March 2007, 16:13:02

  Missing Portuguese (Brazil) language. Installation and localization file.
  
  Buttons on webpages are not being pressed/released (there is some problem with those button's states animation). They are working normally for their functions however.

• rogerpe28. March 2007, 16:23:46

  www.xbox.com is totally broken

• xErath28. March 2007, 16:34:59

  www.xbox.com is totally broken

  
  No it's not. Id as IE or FF.

• FataL28. March 2007, 16:35:02

  Adobe has announced Creative Suite 3 where Opera is used by several components as a rendering engine.

  What version of Opera engine they used: 8 or 9?

• klingoncowboy428. March 2007, 16:36:51

  Nice

• borg28. March 2007, 16:45:35

  @FataL: 9

• noizz28. March 2007, 17:09:08

  Is there a place where I can learn a bit more about the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 components' that use Opera?

• Ken4514028. March 2007, 17:15:33

  Speed dial is an interesting concept. I like the idea of Ctrl-# to jump to really well used sites. However, without the option to automatically open in a new tab (Target = blank), it is a non starter for me. Can this be considered for an upgrade?
  Thanks.

• illiad28. March 2007, 17:22:27

  consalt: you mean this bug?? (weekly 8746 - 8762 )

• consalt28. March 2007, 18:11:32

  illiad: Yes, this one.

• Cyro28. March 2007, 18:27:04

  About the beta changelog. What does "Images with broken exif data now display" mean?

• illiad28. March 2007, 18:40:12

  consalt: lets hope they fix it before final! - would you wear a badly-fitting shirt to see the queen??
  
  'exif data' is special data stored in the picture, eg shutter speed, exposure, etc... and opera uses it *own* process to display graphics..

• cbh28. March 2007, 18:49:53

  @Cyro: guess there has been a bug regarding img info, http://www.exif.org/
  
  (to see exif-info: right click on an image and select 'image properties'. Example image at http://www.ruc.dk/dat/undervisning/foraar2007/ )

• Rijk28. March 2007, 18:51:12

  @Cyro: apparently there was a bug reported on that.
  
  @Ken45140: you could press Ctrl+T first.
  
  @rogerpe: to help us here, please try to give more details. Like, did that site work in previous versions?
  
  @RicardoB: no worry, pt-BR will be back in time for final. Not sure what button problem you have...
  
  @consalt: page zoom is working fine, but the zoom widget often shows the wrong value.
  
  @SoulOfDoinel: yes, this is the same build as the last weekly.
  
  @cybcode: might this be related to the shared memory changes for Linux? Did you try the earlier weekly builds?
  
  @Charlie_X: see http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/759403 for our roadmap.

• rogerpe28. March 2007, 19:28:40

  Rijk: didn't work with the previous desktopteam build. I uploaded the html I got here: http://up.servut.us/dl/954

• vladaa28. March 2007, 19:30:20

  I found some mostly small bugs in Opera. Please look at the current list:
  
  http://www.profiserver.cz/opera/operabugs.htm

• illiad28. March 2007, 19:32:21

  Rijk: my bugreport *did* state that zoom 'works fine', but the indicator does not... you have to move the mouse to the web page, then it will 'go back' to '100%' (while the page is obviously 200%.... )
  
  - and peeps! dont just tell us, report it properly!!
  

• rogerpe28. March 2007, 19:37:48

  Great list, vladaa

• Zybex28. March 2007, 19:40:36

  What about classic installer?

• vladaa28. March 2007, 19:45:25

  @rogerpe: Thank you. I hope someone from Opera developers will take a look at it.

• predatorian28. March 2007, 19:49:32

  Works great except for the lack of brazilian portuguese under languages.

• FataL28. March 2007, 20:04:14

  @vladaa: nice list of bugs indeed!
  Especially I like "blackout" one (bug #247193).
  Your bug #245113 seems very similar to this one.

• olli28. March 2007, 20:05:02

  Zybex,

• illiad28. March 2007, 20:27:34

  Zybex: yes, I'm using it! (Beta is *identical* to 8762 weekly)
