  Pongal gift for me.

• fearphage13. January 2009, 13:03:20

  "Lock Tab" icon should now be better visible on locked tabs.

  I liked it as is. Uh oh. Wait, this is merely a change to opera's default skin, correct? Downloading now. Thanks folks.

• pejakm13. January 2009, 13:04:58

  Finally! Great job!

• Junktyz13. January 2009, 13:06:37

  Great Work.

  Hi,
  At last, a long awaited return from vacation with something valuable, I hope. It's a gem for seafaring men. Happy New Year.

  Auto update worked \o/

• tomas.sprlak13. January 2009, 13:12:00

  @andre.reffhaug: welcome to desktopteam blog and thank you!
  
  autoupdate doesn't work for me on linux...

• tomas.sprlak13. January 2009, 13:19:14

  color schemes switching is now working, wohooo! tahnk you!!

• fearphage13. January 2009, 13:29:02

  

  "Lock Tab" icon should now be better visible on locked tabs.

  With lots of tabs, 40+ the site's icon is actually 100% obscured. With 32 tabs open now, the fav icon has shrank to about 8x8 pixels and is barely visible. I preferred the locked overlay where I could still ID the site from the fav icon. Is there any way to override this in the skin? I'm using a native skin if it matters.
  
  EDIT: Filed as bug #DSK-244637 - regression: Fav icons completely obscured

• Camus13. January 2009, 13:29:44

  Very nice that you fixed the html composition (Most readers like Thunderbird were unable to see the content).
  
  I see that you changed many background settings. I recommend you test them with machines with a different window color. I use a gray (211) and some things are not nice anymore :s
  
  Cheers!

• WOFall13. January 2009, 13:37:10

  Great work, esp. the stability issues.

• HerwigF13. January 2009, 13:42:53

  The update deleted the Opera icon in the quickstart area of the Windows XP taskbar (I had created this manually before).
  
  And unfortunately copying the text from e.g. www.opera.com/robots.txt to Windows Notepad still does not properly insert CRs... :-(

• Fyrd13. January 2009, 13:44:52

  Has the weird...erm...dashed-horizontal-line-of-weirdness been removed yet?

• fearphage13. January 2009, 13:47:14

  Its a setting. Just toggle it off... assuming you're talking about the scrolling marker.

• HeeZy13. January 2009, 13:50:41

  auto update never works for me.

• elitegeek13. January 2009, 13:52:38

  thanks! -- always happy to test out a new build

• mgillespie13. January 2009, 13:53:42

  Skin is still broken. Hover over a RSS tooltip, and the text is white on white.
  

• moirob13. January 2009, 13:54:35

  Hoorah. Im so pleased the colour schemes where fixed. It was annoying me when the popup for links wouldn't show the address.
  
  Thanks for the hard work.

• wupperbayer13. January 2009, 13:57:52

  Auto update worked, but on my Mac Opera now uses the standard Opera preferences folder, not the Opera 10 folder previous snapshots used. It’s not that bad for me, but you should’ve mentioned that in your changelog.

• Fyrd13. January 2009, 13:58:16

  @fearphage - Ah, thanks. I tried looking for information on that before in previous posts, but couldn't find any.

• Cyro13. January 2009, 14:01:27

  Neat-o.
  I can't download browserjs anymore. Can anyone confirm?
  I'm on Windows Vista.

• kevinarjun13. January 2009, 14:04:21

  finally new built...

• steno13. January 2009, 14:07:36

  Will we see some real improvements on OS X some day...?

• ZAHEK13. January 2009, 14:16:50

  auto update doesn't work

• Junyor13. January 2009, 14:23:00

  @Camus: The issue with Thunderbird was their bug. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471402.

• Chas413. January 2009, 14:30:09

  I got this when I staed up Opera 10 mac intel
  
  There was a problem initializing Opera Mail.
  
  Store Init failed
  Engine Init() failed

• qbik1313. January 2009, 14:30:56

  After I switch email account during compose new mail the signature don't want to change (I have different signature for each email account)

• lokezdc13. January 2009, 14:31:17

  Unfortunately same problem like with previous X-mass release and Hotmail account. After a few minutes of working whole hotmail is “frozen”. To carry on working with it is necessary to refresh page each time. Automatic reload doesn’t help samehow

• sirnh113. January 2009, 14:37:21

  Auto update, failed the first time I tried (kept getting an alert message with no text, but with 4 buttons with 1 of the buttons saying 'manual update' and another one saying 'cancel'.) I clicked the cancel button and then restarted opera and tried updating again and it downloaded the update and installed it without problems. I guess it worked
  
  Although, I didn't expect the installation to look like a windows installer thing (not certain how it's called)

• Junyor13. January 2009, 14:38:47

  If you already read the changelog, please read it again as it was just updated.

• 4rcane13. January 2009, 14:39:57

  is it just me, but i've been having problems playing alot of youtube videos. They keep stop playing for some reason. Could be a flash v 10 problem, not sure

• Immanis13. January 2009, 14:40:07

  Manually updating RSS feeds crashes in Windows 2000.

• Immanis13. January 2009, 14:46:04

  [Update] Is related with the certificate dialog bug, one of the feeds connects with a local server and needs NTLM authentication. When updating all the feeds the dialog is not shown and the browser crashes.
  
  Works fine after Opera gets the credentials for first time.

• nataniel13. January 2009, 14:47:07

  "Unfortunately same problem like with previous X-mass release and Hotmail account. After a few minutes of working whole hotmail is “frozen”. To carry on working with it is necessary to refresh page each time. Automatic reload doesn’t help samehow"
  
  +1 after few seconds, links become unclickable and everything is frozen.

• toru_196913. January 2009, 14:48:36

  When read an email for M2, the text does not scroll with the space key;
  there is not it all the time, but it is sometimes it.
  
  
  

• Junyor13. January 2009, 14:53:25

  @toru_1969: Works fine here. Are you using the default keyboard shortcuts?
  
  @Immanis: Works fine here. Can you provide a method of reproduction?

• HeinzDo13. January 2009, 14:53:28

  what is with 64bit qt4-builds? will it ever give??

• Gonzo6813. January 2009, 14:55:38

  Are there any plan for Opera 10 to included the Tabs preview like it has been done with ie8 on Windows 7 ?

• Sierd02713. January 2009, 14:58:53

  I love the new autoupdate!!!

• sirnh113. January 2009, 15:09:10

  I can confirm the "hotmail is frozen" problem here too...

• mgillespie13. January 2009, 15:11:36

  Anyone seeing any layout problems with the new build, that were not there in the previous build? Devs.. Any changes to Presto 2.2 in this release?

  I also have the same problem, sometimes they work, sometimes doesn't, they just stop ´playing for an unknown reason.
  @Sierd027
  As you can see, you posted 3 times the same comment, maybe you've the same problem that I use to have and already commented on the new my.opera feedback forum: Sometimes you log-in but the page doesn't change so you have to reload the entire page to appear as logged-in. I don't know if it is a my.opera.com problem or a Opera 10 problem.
  @Desktop Team
  Auto update didn't work, I had to download the build manually.. yes I've selected the "Download All Snapshots" option. Using Opera on Windows XP
  Thanks a lot for your work, I hope this year be the year of Opera.

• Immanis13. January 2009, 15:14:04

  Is a feed from a search result in a sharepoint site of my job's intranet. When you try to update that particular feed for the first time it shows the username and password dialog to enter the credentials for that site (NTLM auth).
  
  The crash happens everytime you try to update this feed in a batch without the credentials set beforehand. Is pretty easy to reproduce:
  
  1- Open Opera (Close first if already opened)
  2- In the feeds menu click "Read Feeds"
  3- Click in the Update (green) button
  
  And it crash 100% in my case. If I try to update this particular feed alone, the dialog is shown and works fine after you enter the username and password. After this any update on all feeds works fine.

• agostinog13. January 2009, 15:18:06

  Wait....the autoupdater has updated itself, but also removed the shortcuts from desktop and menu without readd them.

• Junyor13. January 2009, 15:36:11

  @Immanis: Thank you for the details. I'll investigate.
