Opera 10.52 for Mac and Windows is released

April 27, 2010 · by ekg

We are pleased to announce that Opera 10.52 for Mac and Windows is now out on the track. There’s been a lot of under-the-hood work, but also some intense polishing over the last couple of weeks. The end result is faster and shinier than ever! And it’s totally environmentally friendly. The only CO₂ emission will be from your ooooh-ing and aaaah-ing.

Highlighted bug fixes since Opera 10.51

Fixed a crash on closing tab with PDF plugin
Fixed issues with pages never stop loading
Fixed issues with caching
Fixed an issue with opening email attachments
Fixed an issue with access to Unite administration pages
Fixed a crash with various third-party apps on Facebook
Fixed an issue were mails could be lost when upgrading from Opera 9.27

A full change log for Mac and Windows, and a nice performance chart for Mac is also available.

Looking for Linux? Keep an eye on our Next page.

Linux's 10.5 version will be worth it, it's worth the wait !!
Vladimyr Ivanov27. April 2010, 09:23
It must be 10.50 RC2.
It's not needed to run ahead locomotive
Tanel27. April 2010, 09:27
Could someone post the instructions on how to perform a full clean Opera install on OS X? Currently have 10.10 and 10.5b installed and upgrading doesn't seem such a good idea.
Дмитрий27. April 2010, 09:29
Cool!!! Thanks!!!

Great job Opera Devs. Thank you on this solid release.
Alexander F27. April 2010, 09:38
A nasty and irritating bug.

Type an address wrongly, and then the correct one. You can then delete the wrong one from the dropdown with the X button on the right and it won't show again in the dropdown itself. However it will be shown in autocomplete.

Although the wrong address is not in the dropdown, it is the autocompleted one. Seems that the X button deletes it from the dropdown but it still appears in the autocomplete.

Win7 x64, I have already reported the bug.
ALEXWASTE27. April 2010, 09:40
Going back by holding down the right mouse button and clicking the left one brings up the context menu on Mac. This is a real bugger :\
Harlekin Mond27. April 2010, 09:40
Thank you very much Opera Team =)
dr jon27. April 2010, 09:46
I've been running RC5 for a little while (by which I mean having it run up basically since I downloaded and installed it) and I now find I can't send mail on Yahoo (works fine until I hit the Send button, then nothing) and I can't Tweet on Twitter.com (again, seems fine until I hit the button).
XPsp3, latest Java (tho I assume all this is Javascript).
Have quite a lot of tabs open as am researching several things.
Didn't see this on earlier 10.52 snapshots.
Asires27. April 2010, 09:47
thanks
Mark Gillespie27. April 2010, 09:49
Waiting for the endless stream of comments about how peoples pet bugs were not fixed..
glache27. April 2010, 09:49
Great! Been itching to leave 10.10 for a while. This is much less buggy, and much more lightweight than either 10.50 or 10.51. In fact, it equals 10.10 in either of those areas, and is much faster. Best thing is, it retains my non-Opera 10.5-compatible skin properly.
zoquete27. April 2010, 09:51
1)dcc does not work since 10.50
2)Fixed an issue were mails could be lost when upgrading from Opera 9.27 - better no comment

I dare to expect 10.60
Haavard posted one really nasty teaser a couple of days ago on twitter
AnuaR Sh27. April 2010, 10:11
Guys, is that really too hard to make a little change in the final build? Or all of these assemblies are so fragile that you are afraid of something break?

Honestly, the third time disappointed ...

"intense polishing over the last couple of weeks"
You mean you cleaned up Opera's code for future releases?
Gosha27. April 2010, 10:21
www.ajaxian.com with scroll page still freezes opera. And also NSL present on that site.

Haha, wanna know what recursion means... follow then just follow "Next page" link on this post ... which will lead you to that page which in return redirects you here ^^
Royi27. April 2010, 10:22
The memory consumption is still too high.
zoquete27. April 2010, 10:27
It is not possible to download voice files, if you have them, Opera does not recognize them:
DSK-274523
DSK-279463

New pages are very nice:
http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/
http://www.opera.com/browser/tips/

Please add Spanish in page-language-combo-box at the bottom.

It is much more important language than, German of French.
SteveKong27. April 2010, 10:29
Simple OT question: How do I rearrange the panel buttons? I cannot move them anymore.
Dmitrik27. April 2010, 10:29
Guys, this is ridiculous. How is it possible that previous version works fine, but this new doesn't?

I have to work via our proxy server at my work. Everything works fine in Opera 10.10 and earler, but it doesn't in Opera 10.5x. There are problems with log in at several sites, such as GMail/Google Reader and Twitter. Just click login button and... yep, nothing happens. I've written about that in this blog.

Sorry, but I've rolled back to Opera 10.10.

Daniel Dyer27. April 2010, 10:36
Still has the annoying bug with the back/forward gestures. Go to any web page and click on a link. Then, without moving the mouse cursor, hold down the right button and click the left. This will take you back to where you were, but when you release the mouse button it follows the link again. This happens on any occasion where the back/forward takes you to a page where there is a link below the mouse, so you can end up on completely unexpected pages.

Very, very nice!

Opera 10.52 still "freezes" at this:
http://pastebin.com/189TFEgi

...and still crashes at
http://www.kempinski.com/de/hamburg/Seiten/Welcome.aspx
(open in "User Mode", change to "Author Mode")

[WinXP SP3]

...And, yes, I'm still using Opera 10.10, too.

Shift+Drag/Drop, or open the "Appearance" dialog (Shift+F12) and then you can drag/drop normally. If that doesn't work... take it to the forums.

Then, delete your comment, and I'll delete mine...
