Barracuda Release Candidate 3

April 8, 2011 · by Haavard

This is the third Barracuda release candidate.

We've been able to bring in a few more important fixes before the weekend, so let us know if you come across any new problems since the previous RC.

Have a nice weekend, and happy testing!

Note: Before reporting any possible release blockers, please consider doing a clean install to verify if it still happens there. Some problems seem to be caused by "dirty" installations of snapshots on top of older snapshots with experimental code.

    great work with the speed dial thumbnails! Seems like Opera now finds and displays the logo of the site better than ever!

    ATTENTION: big bug for Mac version: every time i try to activate visual tabs on youtube.com, Opera crashes! The same happens when going to youtube with visual tabs already activated!
    I've installed the rc3 over 11.01 stable on snow leopard 10.6.7
    [crash log submitted]

    Is anybody there with the same problem?

    Edit: seems like Opera randomly crashes also on other sites, like this page...
  • mapel1108. April 2011, 17:27

    most of my problems are caused by Extensions like "Noads". Too many scripts are filtered and whitelist is sometimes useless. It would be better, operas contentblocker gets new features out of the box.

    Nice work so far. RC3 runs fine.
  • asfaltas8. April 2011, 17:28

    The PeaceKeeper test improved by almost 800 pts on my machine (from RC2 to RC3)
  • Akbalder8. April 2011, 17:31

    This build isn't usable on my PC. It doesn't stop crashing. (a few crash logs have been sent)
    I tried to uninstall previous version (and I kept my profile) but it didn't change anything.

    Now, I'm back to RC2.
  • Grrblt8. April 2011, 17:31

    This build crashes ALL THE TIME. I had to restart with no tabs after upgrading because it crashed on start three times in a row. Then I tried starting without tabs, and going here to tell you about it. Instant crash. I was able to surf a few minutes on another site, but it crashed again after opening a new tab to wikipedia. It crashes silently too, without any crash recovery or offering to send crash logs.

    Now posting from firefox. Ubuntu 64bit 10.10.

    Same here, crashes on every site, also OSX. Upgraded from RC2.
  • raphweng138. April 2011, 17:33

    Seems to use the space in Speed Dial a lot better - but still can be better (for users that don't use the search field). Also good to have full translations back. Stable so far on Win 7 64bit

    Please try to include at least some useful details if you want to report a problem, such as what you are seeing, how to recreate the problem, and so on.

    Cannot upgrade to this build. As soon as my home page gets almost loaded, enters a hard crash loop. Reinstalled RC2 over the top of it to get back here and post this.
    Win7 SP1 X86

    (too bad, because fixing the "can't remove first email attachment" was the primary fix I was hoping would come along before release, so that my wife wouldn't go ballistic after her auto-update on her machine...)
  • Sascha8. April 2011, 17:40

    I have a huge Prolem in this build ... even if i froce a EMail Database Check by setting Mail Database Consistency = 0 i get strage artefacts in my Feed lists , There is a noumber of empty lines which are also not counted .. which always reappear , even after deletion if i do a EMail Database Check again.

    I can also provide a screenshot for this.
    Can anybody confirm this ?

    BTW This is my first Barracuda build, and I migrated my Databases since Opera 7 ...

    I opened Opera from a terminal to see why it crashed (again from this page). Cause: segmentation fault.

    unable to use this snapshot, too many crashes at least on ArchLinux x86_64 + KDE 4.6.1

    Tried to load a PDF document. Opera crashed during loading. Restart - but no Crash Log Submission dialog shows up.
    Now no PDFs are visible (seems to load, but displays as blank).
    No keyboard input is accepted by Opera anymore (mouse OK).
    Then there is this PDF dialog poping up: "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (103:103)"

    If you Exit, it continues to run in the background until you kill it in Task Manager.

    Win7(x64)

    EDIT: Did the exact (?) same steps again - and everything worked perfectly ...

    A recent issue: If any tabs are minimised, tabs that are opened in the background open minimised.

    Edit: Reported as DSK-333485
  • opticyclic8. April 2011, 17:48

    Is it just me that can't connect behind a proxy (with a proxy.pac) or is everyone else testing on home machines?

    Incidentally, the text box for "Could not locate remote server" isn't tall enough.
    Any character with a tail (e.g. 'g' or 'p') get cut off at the bottom.
  • zombie8. April 2011, 17:48

    Unable to start this build. Instant crash on with a variety of pages. Have to revert...

    Same on Windows.
  • ClashCityRocker8. April 2011, 17:49

    Surefire crasher for me in multiple systems: Try and upgrade Opera with browser and Twiget widget open, it will crash the widget process and popup a crash dialog during the install.

    This does not seem to happen here. Do you have a screenshot?

    The author of the extension will have to fix that, due to a bug that was recently fixed in Opera.
  • Obese Maurice8. April 2011, 17:53

    Why I get this error in Peacekeeper:

    Could not find result for key 5kqJ. If you trying to benchmark another browser please make sure you have copied the url correctly and try again.

    It´s hard to scroll on Choose Opera Blog!

    W7x64 SP1

    Edit: If you scroll fast up and down, there is a high CPU usage
  • ayespy8. April 2011, 17:57

    Installed a clean test copy of this build in a new space and it runs just fine.

    Afraid to install it over the top of my "dirty" 11.01 build, for fear of wrecking that profile - anyone here braver than me?

    I would hate that this RC is ok only on a fresh install, and not for upgrades. CERTAINLY, it is not good for upgrade over RC2.
  • istalk8. April 2011, 17:57

    found a new bug - it does not correctly display the website Apple.com to Windows version

    The site should work fine in build 2085.
