Opera 11.50 (Swordfish) Beta
Welcome to the Swordfish (Opera 11.50) Beta!Thanks to everyone who provided us with feedback and comments during the pre-beta testing of Swordfish. With this beta, Swordfish will be brought to an even wider audience. We will get an even better idea about issues that need to be ironed out before the final version is released.
There are several new things in the beta, and there should be something for everyone to enjoy.
First of all, we have new features like Speed Dial extensions, password synchronization through Opera Link, and the Opera Next development channel which allows you to keep your main Opera installation and your test installation separate.
We have of course continued to polish Speed Dial. For example, the screenshot on the right shows a new "Add Speed Dial" dialog which lets you choose between sites and extensions using thumbnails in the dialog itself.
There are also numerous other smaller and bigger fixes and enhancements, such as holding down Ctrl when clicking a link to open it in the background, tab handling improvements (that among other things allow you to stack tabs in the Windows panel), and so on.
In addition to all these (and more) desktop fixes and enhancement, Presto has received an upgrade as well. Not only are there numerous bug fixes, but our Core team has implemented a number of new HTML5 features, improved SVG performance, tweaked the memory usage of the EcmaScript cache, and more.
Take a look at the changelogs (linked below) for the full details on what's new in the Swordfish beta.
Enjoy!

how the first happened? the other two are correct and work but the first one was created by the beta installer. I reinstalled and it started to use OperaNext folder as expected.

Mailbox issue on Yandex is also known, will be fixed by Yandex (a fix in Opera uncovered a tiny but important typo in a script)
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Steps:
- Go on any website providing flash streaming videos (youtube.com for example)
- Start watching a video. Say your download bandwidth is 50 kbps.
- Now jump forward, ahead from the cached time -> your download bandwidth jumps to 100 kbps.
- Jump again forward -> download bandwidth jumps to 150 kbps.
- and so on !!!
It's not that you're now downloading 3 times faster, it is that the video is downloaded 3 times simultaneously !
Also, quit the page, and the download continues !
Just tried in Opera and Firefox (Flash Player is 10.3.181.14 for both), only happens in Opera so definitively not a Flash problem, most likely a cache bug in Opera.
