  Are there any changes to the preferences / settings etc in this build, or can I just copy them over from the previous installation as usual? I'm using the Mac version which often seems a bit hit-and-miss as to whether it creates a new folder for the preferences or uses the existing one.

  Can we install on top of 10.70 builds?

• Martin Rauscher21. October 2010, 09:14

  What they failed to say: The extensions API is far from complete - there will be much more functionality for extension in the Final.
  So if you are a developer, and there currently doesn't seem to be a way to create your super cool new extension, just wait a bit

  Installation didn't ask me for anything, couldn't upgrade from 10.70 so I have an empty profile now ? At least it didn't overwrite my 10.70 installation, I can still use it separately...

• pieRr0Ur21. October 2010, 09:22

  Thanks!

• miki6921. October 2010, 09:26

  The installer doesn't ask, but just like the previous one, has an 'Options' button. If you don't use the options, this installer will install in the folder 'C:\Program files\Opera 11 Alpha' (or an existing 'beta' folder where you installed the first public 10.50 alpha build for example).
  
  You can run the installer again an pick a different installation folder if you want - like the old classic installer, and unlike the old standard MSI installer, you can install the same build as many times as you like.

• A.Ruzanov21. October 2010, 09:28

  New installer seems very good.
  Extensions seems as simplified copy of Chrome extensions. I hope just yet.

  Yes. It is a test build, and a continuation of the 10.70 line.

  That will be offered later on, when we are near feature complete and the new strings are translated.

  On Mac, this build should not use your normal Opera settings. I'm not sure if it creates a new alpha folder or reuses an existing one.

  Since extension page is broken I've tried adding them from developer page: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-extensions-hello-world/ (bottom of the page)
  Unfortunately this is what I get http://screens.devocado.com/dev/2010-10-21_1236.png
  

• Publisher21. October 2010, 09:36

  Portable install Mode... Thats really nice!

• withme21. October 2010, 09:39

  any info on where the addons page gonna be up?

• Asires21. October 2010, 09:40

  already?

  How can I install over 10.70?

• Leo21. October 2010, 09:41

  Is it possible to install it over or in addition to a previous Opera (10.60 or 10.70) version ?

• shaneh21. October 2010, 09:41

  Having issues downloading .oex files from the tutorial etc pages. They open in the browser (see link posted by Justas: http://screens.devocado.com/dev/2010-10-21_1236.png ). Saving them to disk and renaming them to .zip doesn't result in a valid zip file. Dragging them to the browser, Opera says "installation was unsuccessful".
  
  I tried:
  
  http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-extensions-buttons-badges-and-popups/example-button.oex
  
  http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-extensions-hello-world/hello.oex
  
  I upgraded from Opera 10.70

• Ivan Filho21. October 2010, 09:45

  Please guys, say the Profile the build is going to use in the post, it'll save lots of trouble for lots of people
  
  Also, I have selected "Download all snapshots" (opera:config#AutoUpdate|DownloadAllSnapshots) but it doesn't seem to work
  
  Anyway, I'm going to install manually! Hope it's as good as it sounds!

  Use the 'Options' button in the installer to pick your favorite installation folder. BUT, in that case, remember to RESET your address bar to DEFAULT. Otherwise you will NOT see the extensions buttons there.

  I think https://addons.labs.opera.com/addons/extensions/ should be http and not https, i believe the correct url is http://addons.labs.opera.com/addons/extensions/

  I think they're didn't set the correct htaccess.

• mulander21. October 2010, 09:47

  The default extension page doesn't work (with the https protocol):
  https://addons.labs.opera.com/addons/extensions/
  I managed to get to the site by dropping down to simple http. The following link will get you to the extensions page and will allow installing them:
  http://addons.labs.opera.com/addons/extensions/

• shaneh21. October 2010, 09:47

  Saving the .oex files using IE9 then dragging them to Opera installs extensions ok. Must be a problem with the content type in Opera treating it as txt.
  
  However, I don't see any button or 'hello world' after installing the extensions. They just appear in the manage extensions list.
  
  The buttons appear in the 'customize buttons' screen, however cannot be dragged.

• René-Gilles Deberdt21. October 2010, 09:50

  Yay, it's out!
  Let's have some fun writing plugins! Tab grouping, anyone? If it can be done, I'll give it a try when I have some time. I'm dying that get that one feature...

• Yowanvista21. October 2010, 09:50

  Seems opera copied FF4 extension manager

• Mikkel Brevik Mehus21. October 2010, 09:50

  So you stuffed in a couple more features into Opera and reduced the download-size with 3 MB? Nicely done

• shaneh21. October 2010, 09:51

  Note - buttons for extensions only appear after doing a toolbar reset. They don't seem to appear on a customised toolbar, and also aren't draggable from the customise buttons screen.
  
  edit: extensions installed from the tutorial pages seem to have the wrong content type and get corrupted. But from the addons page the content-type is set ok.

• Daniel21. October 2010, 09:52

  Holy shit, that is a fast installer!
