  Congratulations!

• MossMan11. April 2007, 11:43:14

  Obvious question for us beta-testers... is this a new build or still 8767 (for Windows)?

• man on the street11. April 2007, 11:44:44

  Gracias - thanks

• Kuja IX11. April 2007, 11:44:49

  If anyone asks

• MossMan11. April 2007, 11:46:58

  Thanks Mr. Beer... or should that be Mr. ?!

• Tamil11. April 2007, 11:46:59

  Thanks developers.
  
  

• elitegeek11. April 2007, 11:47:04

  Great News!
  I'm glad to see a new release

• _deXter_11. April 2007, 11:49:34

  Great!
  
  What's changed from 8767?
  
  Once again, I don't see a changelog anywhere

• arzafen11. April 2007, 11:50:53

  Thanks !
  Opera web page still shows Opera 9.1 as new.

• Umman11. April 2007, 11:52:48

  Coolio!
  
  And thanks for the improvements.

• igorditerni11. April 2007, 11:55:00

  Ciao, Igor

• MossMan11. April 2007, 11:59:15

  Just to let everyone know, indicated versions 9.20 and 9.20b both contain the same install - from the 3rd of April (my birthday!). At least, that's the case for the classic installer...

• Khaled Khalil11. April 2007, 11:59:42

  BTW, www.opera.com still have opera 9.1 in the front
  let it be opera 9.2 kestrel
  or am i wrong

• ux5011. April 2007, 11:59:56

  Great job done!
  
  I love Opera9.2
  
  Cheers,

• Stevie111. April 2007, 12:03:48

  well what can i say, you guys just rule

• Tracio11. April 2007, 12:08:17

  Given the recent libx11 issue it would be nice if 9.20 could hit the deb.opera.com repos faster than usual (1 or 2 days after the official release). It would definitely help to limit the damage made by the libx11 patch...
  
  Also, there's no mention of the libx11 issue here: http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/linux/920/sincebeta.dml

• _deXter_11. April 2007, 12:23:47

  http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/920/sincebeta.dml
  
  Doesn't have the changelog since 8767.
  
  Once again, does anyone know what's changed since 8767?

• kiaM11. April 2007, 12:29:51

  Thank you! Oper 9.2 is a wonderful piece of art!

• Jazmo11. April 2007, 12:33:32

  _deXter_, no - it's your job to find it out

• csant11. April 2007, 12:35:40

  Tracio, deb.opera.com is already updated

• XRock11. April 2007, 12:36:29

  Good job! Well done, thanks a lot!

• CaseyJ11. April 2007, 12:40:32

  party on ..
  
  
  waiting for 10.0

• HerwigF11. April 2007, 12:44:37

  Great as always! Thank you for the best browser ever (probably).
  
  Well... but before you think you're ready forever, please think about:
  
  #1 - fixing the .kml link issue with Google Earth (.kml files are displayed as XML in the browser window instead of opening GE, see bug report); Firefox and even IE have no problems with it.
  
  #2 - adding an opera:config option for using HTTP1.1 over a proxy which is not capable of pipelining (HTTP 1.0 is used in this case but it is much slower without persistent connections). Firefox and IE allow this.
  
  Cheers
  Herwig
  
  EDIT, regarding item #1: I entered the MIME type application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml with kml as extension in Opera, configuring download/open to be displayed. For details see:
  http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=25094
  And, hurra!, it works, .kml files now show the open/download box instead of displaying xml garbage.
  
  

• Khaled Khalil11. April 2007, 12:45:48

  opera changelogs are very similar onto various operating systems, but sometimes it makes slight difference like this:

  Added thumbnails on hover in UNIX panel.

  i don't have this UNIX panel
  nice changelog

• Luchio11. April 2007, 12:49:22

  fixing the .kml link issue with Google Earth (.kml files are displayed as XML in the browser window instead of opening GE, see bug report); Firefox and even IE have no problems with it.

  
  You could probably fix that by editing your preferences in Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Downloads. Un-check "hide extensions opened by Opera", then search for KML, then click edit to change the extension behavior.

• cranil711. April 2007, 12:52:04

  IT WAS available on few sites FIVE hours ago. Before you people putting it here.

• cranil711. April 2007, 12:55:35

  What is the build number? 8771?

• Lex111. April 2007, 12:56:10

  Opera_9.20_Classic_Setup.exe
  operadef6.ini
  

  [Local CSS Files]
  Name 1=Emulate text browser
  Translated name 1=69483
  File 1=D:\Opera\styles\user\textonly.css
  Name 2=Nostalgia
  Translated name 2=69484
  File 2=D:\Opera\styles\user\nostalgia.css
  ...

  
  These files deleted from a distributive the pair of months back.
  
  Not fixed bugs with Cyrillic (problem with open MHT-file, errors in translation, etc).

• Tracio11. April 2007, 12:58:36

  @csant Yeah, I did another apt-get update after I posted and 9.20 was there.
  
  Yet another example of the great work you guys made in order to address the libx11 issue (the fact that it happened in easter holidays and it was a nasty one makes it even more impressive).

  Wonderful tags!!! *ROFL*

  Oh my gosh, that's my birthday too! And Liverpool FC won 3-0 on my Birthday too! What a good day that was. Birthday, Liverpool winning hugely in Champions League AND a new version of Opera.

• drlaunch11. April 2007, 13:25:50

  It's awesome! And it seems like it runs as smooth and fast as it should.

• Zajec11. April 2007, 13:52:54

  Nice. Now (and still) waiting for shipping Opera for Linux in 31 languages :-)

• GeekK11. April 2007, 14:02:34

  Add integrated, synchronizable delicious-like bookmark feature and I'm even more statisfied!

• cbh11. April 2007, 14:10:26

  @ Zajec. You need to download a lng file: http://www.opera.com/download/languagefiles/

• borg11. April 2007, 14:25:35

  @cbh: But he really shouldn't have to. We're looking into if we can fix this in a way that doesn't give us incredible amounts of extra testing

• f1avalanche11. April 2007, 14:26:35

  Hooray!!! Let's get surfing!

• rxbbx11. April 2007, 14:30:57

  Yoohoo!!

• zarkoh11. April 2007, 14:34:58

  Yippee for Opera in macedonian language.
  
  Now, if only InstallShield could support as many languages as Opera does (or plans to).

• cbh11. April 2007, 14:35:50

  @borg. Of course not. Wasn't my point... Just a help if he hadn't noticed the lng file download section.

• AndrewNi11. April 2007, 14:38:08

  Love the tags

• Raistlin11. April 2007, 14:42:06

  There is a small bug in O 9.20#8769.
  I have in my Bookmarks 'my.opera.com/desktopteam' site, saved with 'opera beta' nickname. Now, when I've entered "opera beta" in address bar, it openes google page: http://www.google.pl/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=opera+beta&sourceid=opera&num=100&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8. In previous version it works fine.
  
  If you would like to update my report with more information, please send an email to: bug-259956@you know what.
