    Waiting for Opera 11 snapshot :D

    Will try this over my stable release anyway
  • slalaurette5. October 2010, 12:44

    Great! Is this a update over the last 10.70 snapshot?
  • Galileo5. October 2010, 12:47

    slalaurette 10.70 is bigger than 10.63. This will update 10.62 when it goes final.

    It's an update over 10.62, that's why it's called 10.63 ;) 10.70 is a separate version which also contains some new features over 10.6X
  • hundredorzero5. October 2010, 12:50

    It means 10.70 Final will take some time to release. :(
  • Rafał Miłecki5. October 2010, 12:51

    There is very annoying crash for me that isn't regression but still wasn't fixed in this release.

    Opera crashes when opening DragonFly on page with @import CSS rule.
    Example: http://files.zajec.net/df.html
    Bug-report: DSK-306369

    Any chance you will fix that for 10.6x?
  • slalaurette5. October 2010, 12:51

    Thanks Robert and Galileo! Sometimes I get lost with the different branches. I thought maybe they were unifying the two. ;)
  • marbross5. October 2010, 13:00

    Marbross, clean out your urlfilter.ini. just remove it from the program folder in %appdata%. should fix your problem.

    No problems here with the RC. monitoring, however. WinFLP SP3.

    No, it is not! 10.63 is a security & bugfix update while 10.70 is a new branch in development containing new features!

    Somedays ago i had the same problem with 10.62. If memory serves me right, the reason was some file was accidentally deleted. However re-installation solved the issue.

    does not work properly. can't klick f.e. "new releases" or even "account login" etc.. nothing happens

    doesn't work too. login works, but account management impossible because of "main part" of the page is just blank.

    Clicking + starts an endless loop and vote is not registered, same with 10.7
  • iPristy5. October 2010, 15:17

    For 10.62 i have noticed if start menu icon creation is disabled from widget it will produce low quality default icon on widget when run (task bar).
  • Sneaky!5. October 2010, 15:27

    does this release fix the visited links issue? Ever since 10.60 Everytime i close opera and reopen it visited links return to unvisited state, this makes the 10.60 branch unusable for me as i rely on visited links to keep track of things on many sites!

    Surely you understand that comment is not very useful for someone who has just said he relies on that feature to keep track of a lot of sites. If trying for himself is going to ruin his whole navigation routine, he sure as heck shouldn't try.

    This is an RC.

    Sure he should. He can easily install it to a separate folder. Instead of spamming the blog with useless comments.
  • mhe5. October 2010, 17:36

    People that have problem with no pages loading after downgrading 10.7 -> 10.6, the urlfilter.ini was changed in 10.7, and you need to remove all the UUID numbers assigned to every single blocked url.

    A little ahk snippet that does this:
    FileCopy, urlfilter.ini, urlfilter.bak
    FileRead, urlfilter, urlfilter.ini
    NewStr := RegExReplace(urlfilter, "=UUID:.*","")
    FileDelete, urlfilter.ini
    FileAppend, %NewStr%, urlfilter.ini
  • Adrian5. October 2010, 18:12

    Clicking somewhere in the flash plugin, on any site, actually registers the click about 50px down and about 10px right of where the actual click was. (Also happens in 10.62.)

    Mac OS X 10.5.8 PPC

  • Bala75. October 2010, 20:09

    hundredorzero,
    There is no such animal as 10.70 final. 10.7 is an interim build while 11.0 roadmap is agreed upon. No 10.7, No 10.8 and No 10.9 - merely very early test builds of 11.0. 10.6xx is the final within the 10 series.

    Opera:
    Thank-you for finally fixing the Yahoo problem. 6 Months but better late than never I guess...

    Site loads fine for me, UNR 10.4. Did you see the pop-up with the notice "hynix website unavailable"? Strange pop-up, since I could not find what is supposedly not working.

    I have been seeing this with all 10.70 builds on Ubuntu 9.10 & 10.04, 32- and 64-bit (with 32-bit Flash plugin). Especially noticable on Facebook/EA Scrabble.

    You have inside information from Opera? So far the level of change in 10.70 does not seem to warrant a major version change.

    We do know of one coming change that would merit 11.0 all by itself: hardware accelerated rendering. I guess 11.0 will be declared at the point when they can deliver a strong implementation of HWE. Other smaller changes will continue to increment 10.xy.

    I don't have inside info, just reasoned speculation.

    You should definitely formally report this. There is no guarantee that bugs mentioned in the blog reach the right developers. There is also speculation (only) that Win98 support will end with the 10.x series, so you really want to get your report seen as soon as possible.

    Hi, thanks for the new release but, Youtube video thumbnail doesn't load at all, when i try to share a video on my facebook profile.

    http://www.imagebam.com/image/3f395086731621

    Thanksss for ya help
  • DrillSarge6. October 2010, 08:22

    the crash when try to save pictures hosted on http://www.imagebam.com/ is back. I reported this for some 10.70 snapshot (fixed since 2 or 3 snapshots of 10.70) and this 10.63 crashes too there. (load picture hosted on that site, right click on it and select "open". then select open in the dialog again = crash).

    EDIT
    the "Crash Log Submission" says:

    Our experience with this crash is that it most commonly is caused by the plugin vksaver. Uninstalling this plugin resolves these crashes. If you have any further information, you may let us know.

    but I dont have this installed and I think it is not related to this plugin.
