    that's a good question
  • SoulOfDoinel19. December 2007, 19:49:58

    But 9694 is a 9.5 preview, 9.25 is 9.2 last release.
    More stability for 9.25 but no new 9.5 features.
    Am I wrong ?
  • arcy19. December 2007, 19:56:15

    Thanks :]
    Merry Christmas :]
  • origPumu19. December 2007, 19:57:18

    64 bit is a new feature for the 9.5 linux builds. 64 bit is not available for 9.2x and unfortunately there are no 64 bit builds for vista at all...
  • devil_kin19. December 2007, 20:20:57

    Any chance of making the new flash plugin work on linux? It's rather annoying that it doesn't work...
  • haavard19. December 2007, 20:34:28

    devil_kin, have you tried the 9.5 snapshots?
  • p.mansoor19. December 2007, 21:20:02

    Just upgraded. Thanks :D
  • andresruiz19. December 2007, 21:33:20

    It's very unfortunate that Adobe broke compatibility with the current stable Opera releases... On the bright side, you might want to give the 9.5 snapshots a try, they work with the latest Flash release :smile:
  • sevillana19. December 2007, 22:31:14

    was hoping that Opera Link would be in 9.25 release :frown: Will have to wait a bit more.
    Merry Christmas Desktop Team :smile:
  • trasz19. December 2007, 22:58:40

    And still no FreeBSD-7 version... ;-/
  • I-Beam20. December 2007, 00:23:00

    Does this break ACID2, or is something wrong on my installation?

    EDIT: Apparently, there is a problem on the ACID2 web site.

  • EricJH20. December 2007, 00:23:07

    Installed it to be up and running; though I use 9.50 weeklies for all my surfing. Hardly touch the 9.2x series.
  • Gyrobo20. December 2007, 00:49:41

    9.25 doesn't pass ACID2 for me either, but ACID2 also breaks under Firefox 3 and Kestrel builds. The misrenderings appear identical. Did someone change ACID2?
  • Chase-san20. December 2007, 03:09:01

    That is strange, whats up with the ACID2?
  • consalt20. December 2007, 06:54:55

    Ha-ha, Microsoft fix acid2 for IE8. Now IE8 pass test (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2007/12/19/internet-explorer-8-and-acid2-a-milestone.aspx). But only IE8. No others! :smile:
  • haavard20. December 2007, 08:30:12

    The test is currently broken, so if the current version is the one IE8 is working with it doesn't pass Acid2 after all.

    Here's a proper version of Acid2:

    Wonderful! Thank you! Been using 9.23 for a time now becaus of the textexpander-bug.
  • TuPLaD20. December 2007, 09:50:02

    I have a problem, after installing this Opera all my mail and RSS accounts are gone :frown:
  • Jazmo20. December 2007, 14:44:28

    How hard could it be to code automagig update system, like firefox has?
    Surely it keeps browsers better up date.
  • Micky20. December 2007, 15:07:49

    TuPLaD: Did you choose Upgrade or Separate install? You apparently installed it separately in different folder. Search your old Opera folder and copy your old profile dir into new Opera folder.
  • haavard20. December 2007, 18:33:06

    TuPLaD: Did you install any other versions of Opera between 9.24 and 9.25? Any 9.5 alphas, betas or snapshots?

    Jazmo, an automatic update system is hardly suitable for a minor security release, but wait and see... :smile:
  • xet720. December 2007, 18:39:11

    How in Opera can I merge open windows to one window?
    If it's not possible yet, could it be added?
  • jarinkirill20. December 2007, 19:06:03

    xet7, open «Windows» panel (hided by default), select with shift all pages of one window and drag-and-drop it to another.
  • Sergej20. December 2007, 21:29:35

    upgrated :smile:

    Easy to update and faster than Firefox (a friend asked me why I use Opera, yesterday)
  • mimi_s_mum20. December 2007, 22:27:51

    bug-264187:
    The text duplication bug when using Microsoft Japanese IME on Blogger compose/edit field, has returned with vengeance. Strangely Gmail compose, the other site which I filed this original bug report for, seems unaffected.

    When I filed bug-264187, I thought the same bug affected both Gmail compose and Blogger compose/edit, but I was obviously wrong. Should I file another bug report about Blogger issue only?

    Edit***

    My bad. The bug already existed in ver 9.24. Shows how often I update my blog. I did not have this problem when I last posted in September with 9.23. So it came back with 9.24.

    Still a question to the dev people. Should I file a new bug report for this issue regarding Blogger only?

  • Serpher20. December 2007, 23:01:21

    That news is a little delayed ;P Many people installed that version few days ago.
  • zix20. December 2007, 23:18:50

    installed 9.25, switching back/forward to last 9.5 weekly..
    merry x-mas
  • mgillespie20. December 2007, 23:18:54

    Both 9.25 and latest 9.50 weekly fail the Acid2 test.

    Not good, considering Firefox and IE are suddenly making such a noise about Acid2 this week...

    IE, yes, but as for Firefox, you're one year late.
    Besides, the test is currently broken. Opera and others still pass it.

    i installed this over 9.5 9694 beta.

    this 9.25 opera will not run.

    it will use constant 90-95% of cpu usage but not start. memory use is always 13.748 K (13 mb).

  • RedBaron21. December 2007, 10:58:42

    wallstreet23788: I know this, only clean install get you back into 9.2 series.

    Well, you should never install final releases on top of a beta, let alone a snapshot release (which is what you've done). And I don't think it will be possible at all to downgrade from 9.50 final (when it is released) to a previous release for a couple of reasons, one being the new mail backend.
