  Next weekly should contain a lot more changes than the last few, since we don't have to be as careful as when we approach a release..

  
  

• Dennis_Hawks23. May 2006, 10:52:46

  Well, if it is said that Beta 2 is the last beta before the final and assuming that the first beta was released almost 1 month ago, so, taking into consideration all that, we'll get the FINAL within the third decade of June?

• Dennis_Hawks23. May 2006, 11:01:11

  95-99 % CPU here: http://andrewwooldridge.com/canvas/canvasgame001/canvasgame002.html

• Thomas Chah23. May 2006, 11:01:19

  What is the build?

• flyingscanian23. May 2006, 11:03:00

  Is there no changes whatsoever or why haven't you posted a changelog?

• thobi23. May 2006, 11:03:06

  Version: 9.00 Beta
  Build: 8414
  
  seems to be not more than the latest weekly with a new name.

• slegg23. May 2006, 11:03:49

  This is just renamed last weekly? (b8414)

• Dennis_Hawks23. May 2006, 11:06:06

  yes, this build seems to be good enough to become the Beta 2.

• Thomas Chah23. May 2006, 11:10:36

  I have the last weekly build 8414 inslalled.
  The beta 2 is new?

• tomurbanowicz23. May 2006, 11:12:49

  Pleas fix these bugs:
  1. Bug no 206049 (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=136011)
  2. Wrong format in EXIF information of exposure time - ex.: there is 0,125; correctly 1/8 s.
  
  PLEAS PLEAS PLEAS

• Svoboda23. May 2006, 11:18:24

  Yeah, this one was good, lads

• kyleabaker23. May 2006, 11:32:20

  I don't think this will be changed. Opera is just presenting the info as it is stored in the EXIF data.
  
  

• tomurbanowicz23. May 2006, 11:43:41

  But in FireFox is OK.
  In ShowExif (program) there is correctly too.

• Licaon23. May 2006, 11:47:23

  selecting Opera 9 Beta 2 -> Slackware -> Download will redirect me to "Opera 8.54 for Windows"... not funny

• sadad23. May 2006, 11:53:39

  thanks a lot

• babumuchhala23. May 2006, 12:17:52

• splondike23. May 2006, 12:27:46

  Hahah, no wonder zonealarm didn't chuck a fit when I installed it, the md5 is the same because the program is the same :grin:

• vinczej23. May 2006, 12:28:52

  It was a good choice, this version (b8414) to release for a beta 2. It is stable, and the widget maintaining is very charmed.

• war5931223. May 2006, 12:42:49

  Whoooooooo!

• Ahui88623. May 2006, 12:55:04

  thanks
  
  good job!
  
  
  
  

• zuccaralloo23. May 2006, 13:04:48

  Wish you had fixed the SVG zooming feature for the Beta 2. It has been broken for two weeks now. :-(

• ResearchWizard23. May 2006, 13:12:52

  MSI installer showed only repair and remove. So I downloaded classic installer and updated the last weekly.

• Dro77naR23. May 2006, 13:29:08

  You didn't have to update the last weekly because it is the same build AFAIK.

• AnthonyG23. May 2006, 13:36:28

  Nice for home use but it still doesn't go through our corporate firewall (it no longer errors, now it just spins and gets nowhere).

• fesquivel23. May 2006, 14:38:16

  What's the difference between the Classic Installer & and the US English setup, besides the download size?

• searchme23. May 2006, 14:49:19

  Congratulations, and thanks for the explanation. A small suggestion, if I may. How about a comprehensive changelog between builds, so far as features fixes are concerned? I find the changelogs a bit spotty (highlights only) and not too specific, e.g.: I'm not sure the addition of file/open/web archive was ever mentioned, but I can't swear that it wasn't. As for bugs fixed, perhaps a list of numbers would allow those interested to find reports or discussion about the ones that bug them. (But it's not my place to speak for anyone else. I'm just trying to be sensitive to security/proprietary imperatives.) Thanks.

• ResearchWizard23. May 2006, 14:49:21

  @Dro77naR: yes, you are right. thanks.
  
  @fesquivel: Opera introduced the MSI installer built into Windows (US English setup) and besides that the classic installer still exists.

• Avesi23. May 2006, 14:54:07

  opera don't close macromedia pop-up

• ilyabirman23. May 2006, 14:55:00

  Why labs.opera.com don't link to Beta 2 in the "Latest downloads"? Why full changelog from Beta 1 to Beta 2 not available? Why no Beta 2 on snapshot.opera.com?

• jeff_schiller23. May 2006, 14:56:54

  As reported with the last weekly build, NTLM is broken. With it enabled, I just keep getting loading progress for pages and no page finishes loading (I've seen simple HTML page wrack up megabytes of loading progress).
  
  I just disabled NTLM and it works fine now.
  
  

• mywapis23. May 2006, 15:01:23

  I get a beta2 opera, thats g8!!! And i see a good tradition that has megrered from _http://www. udaff.com ^-__-^ write a comment like "First, yay" or if you comment is second "Second" =)

• Snapshot23. May 2006, 15:12:21

  Yeah...

• Zybex23. May 2006, 15:28:18

  Two suggestions for Opera IRC-client:
  - Limit output to XXX lines (remove older lines)
  - Autorejoin on kick
  

• Tolque5323. May 2006, 15:51:41

  Sorry that I have to ask again, because I am wondering.
  Can anybody PLEASE confirm or not confirm this bug?
  
  www.eurosport.de still does not work, because Flash plugins do not function properly there.
  Go to the page, select something in the "Live Score" that should open a popup (which it does in Opera 8.54), like "Live" and then something like "In Kürze" - red link on the left.
  No popup opens or even tries to open.
  
  Sometimes, the flash there does not react on anything at all, Opera seems to nearly stall when it comes to the flash plugins on this page.

  JS bug: http://80.53.182.206/goorol/opera_001.htm

  "What's the difference between the Classic Installer & and the US English setup, besides the download size?"
  
  
  I would like to know this as well.

• anson23. May 2006, 16:22:00

  In Opera 9 beta 2 me haywire pages www.motogp.com In O8.54 are OK.

• brummi0923. May 2006, 16:24:42

  if I click since 8393 on a address in a E-Mail, this is not opened.
  Over the detour right-click --> open goes it then.
  I also turned around the same problem. If I click in Opera on one E-Mail-Adress, nothing
  happens - only again over the detour: Right-click --> write E-Mail
  Still does someone have, or is with me the worm in it?
  Please excuse my bad english

  I'm not sure if it was mentioned here, so if it was, I'm sorry. There is a problem with marking in emails. After marking some words the mark changes to the words above that which I've chosen. I hope you get what I mean
  
  The same by me since 1-2 months.
  Ciao Jörg ;-)

  Ciao Jörg ;-(

  Why are my messages ignored?
  Ciao Jörg :-(

  yep.

• Dro77naR23. May 2006, 17:05:08

  @Jörg: you are not the only one who mentioned this bug. But we all were ignored... I hope in the future versions it will be solved.
  And the problem with marking plain text as well...

• xRadiation23. May 2006, 17:08:08

• Tolque5323. May 2006, 17:16:23

  ...waiting for anybody to confirm my bug...

• kav200623. May 2006, 17:18:31

  In Opera 9.0 (all version) doesn't work !!! keyboard combination:
  
  Ctrl+Shift in text field.
  
  When I press this combination in IE 6.0, IE switch direction of text from "left-to-right" to "right-to-left".
  
  It's very important for peoples, that are using Hebrew & Arabic!!!

• HeeZy23. May 2006, 17:27:10

  this is build (8414).? no wonder, when i tried to install it, it only gave me the option to repair or remove the installation.
  
  EDIT: the 100% CPU bug when closing Opera is in this build.

• saulob23. May 2006, 17:33:20

  ok, another one
  
  Transfer window.
  
  When you complete one file the Progress become: Done.
  
  that´s fine.
  
  but.. the bug:
  
  When you move (to another folder) or delete this same file... the Progress become: Stopped.
  
  can anyone confirm ?
  
  thanks

• Dro77naR23. May 2006, 17:37:16

  @HeeZy: It was written above - Beta 2 is the last weekly build.
  
  @Tolque53 - I tried to click something in LiveScore -> Live but it doesn't work.

  This bloody thing will still not close; it stays stuck in XP Home 2's tray; 98SE however it does not. When I hit X or Exit I want it to shut down. Just as it should!
