Opera 11.51 (Swordfish) Release Candidate 2

August 26, 2011 · by Ruarí Ødegaard

Here is the second release candidate for our 11.51 maintenance build. It only contains one small fix related to Opera not connecting to certain sites.

Thanks for testing and feedback

Note: Remember as this is a maintenance update we are only interested in regressions since 11.50! Please do not report anything else here.

    We are focussing on 11.51 for now. Once it is out new snapshots for 12.00 will appear.

    No changelog?
  • PneumatigpneumatykaFriday, August 26, 2011 1:45:50 PM

    11.51 RC2 is just perfect. Release the final immediately.

  • OlliOlli91Friday, August 26, 2011 2:04:23 PM

    I think never everyone agreed so much that a RC is perfect! :D:D
  • ClashCityRockerclashcityrockerFriday, August 26, 2011 2:19:43 PM

    Ironic that when people realise that whinging and griping about minor things like 1px alignment and stuff is delaying other releases, everyone changes their tune to "it's perfect, release it..."

    If we can't have a Opera 12 build, how about some Opera 12 news????
  • Christophchristoph142Friday, August 26, 2011 2:31:05 PM

    Jeezze, you guys are really helpful. I didn't test RC1 either and I'm waiting for a 12 snapshot as well, but at least I don't moan about it in here.
    Leave the comments section to those really testing it, cause that's its purpose and by drawing the teams attention to your silly complaints and focusing their attention to reading your posts instead of getting other stuff done, you will delay things further...
    Think about it...

    Waiting... PATIENTLY coffee

    Be patient. Atleast wait for 1 day so that almost all users are able to test it.

    EDIT: Changed 2 days to 1 day. This RC looks very stable so I think 1 day is enough for any big problems.
  • dizdizlexikFriday, August 26, 2011 2:36:54 PM

    Works great. Search is fixed. I can't spot any bugs.

    No. There are still some significant bugs in RC2. Opera 12 final release may be months away yet, so it won't hurt to wait another week to give 11.51 final a bit more polish.

    Edit: RC2 just crashed for me on closing it after not doing anything very much.
  • Helder Jefferson Ferreira da LuzDante003Friday, August 26, 2011 3:17:10 PM

    Here's a tiny regression
    http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/8123/operar.png

    Sometimes, that 1 pixel line appears on every page, including speeddial (it seems to be a part of some web page, because its not always a white line), that was not happening with 11.50, but already happened with another version before.

    Its not that everyone like 11.51 so much. It is rather that Opera has already told us they will not fix the remaining bugs from 11.50 any more, so all of us hope that 12.0 will have fewer bugs irked

    That crash isn't showstopper, but easter egg. The RC2 is ready for release. lol

    Error installing: skin\standard_skin.zip. Error-Code: 9

    Hmm. Did install RC1 without any problems, so I guess it's not my fault.

    [EDIT] After reboot it worked now - sorry for spamming.
  • KHHFriday, August 26, 2011 5:21:49 PM

    Opera 11.51 RC1 has crashed a lot for me. Judging from the changelog you haven't fixed that problem. Have submitted automatic crash reports each time.

    I've had a problem with the e-mail-client.
    When I got a new e-mail, it shows the same mail 2 or 3 times.
    I got this problem first in version 11.50, and it seems like it still be in this build to.

    Same here. Also had crash, when tried to print via hotkey Ctrl+p
  • Blaž Pristavitalianjob44Friday, August 26, 2011 7:17:40 PM

    Looks like most of the problems are 64-bit related, Acid 3 99/100, crash at start up and print preview related stuff, just my assumption.

    I got no crash on 32-bit Windows just yet...

    Looking good!. Just installed RC2 on my Macbook sporting Mac OS X Lion.

    Hello Mr. Fullscreen app mode.

    Well done all round, no bugs yet. smile

    Thank you for the "small fix" - it works up
  • lovelyoperaFriday, August 26, 2011 9:42:07 PM

    It's not possible to log in to www.gamepro.com with any version of Opera (11.51 RC2, 12.00 pre-alpha builds or any of the older versions (tested with a clean profile)).

    ISSUE: The javascript form fails to load/ pop up when clicking on "Login". Other scripts that move a "menu bar" (set of links) automatically as you scroll the page fail to load as well.


    Everything works perfectly with Firefox.
  • Rafael LuikrafaelluikFriday, August 26, 2011 10:23:48 PM

    LOL, stop saying that there are no bugs! p
  • Blaž Pristavitalianjob44Friday, August 26, 2011 10:24:32 PM

    Just a note...
    I was testing with http://www.speedtest.net/ and i got just half of the upload speed, other browser show normal speed, no mistake i have repeated many times and get the same half speed?
  • PoiMalFriday, August 26, 2011 10:50:56 PM

    Network tab content in Dragonfly doesn't update when you resize Dragonfly.

    1. Open Dragonfly
    2. Select Network tab and refresh the page to have data
    3. Try to resize Dragonfly upwards

    When you switch to some other tab and then back to Network tab it content resizes correctly.

    No.

    Perfect on Win7 SP1

    You are being messed up by your settings, an extension, a content blocker, or something.

    Thanks, I forgot about it. This score was because of "LinkRedirector" and "Image Preview Popup". Now I have 100% too. Next time I will check it before I post.

    Sorry for the English translation, I used Google translator (I'm Brazilian).

    Would like to customize the terms of the "mouse gestures" which are shown on the screen when dragging the same?

    I created several mouse gestures that seek the term highlighted for me on several different pages.

    In the image we see the term "007-Quantum of Solace" highlighted. When triggered the shortcut and arrive at the desired point, the image returns to me only the words "Copy, Copy, Copy." Instead of showing me the names of the pages would be: "Baixaki, YouTube and Google."

    See how it is and how I want.



    Original text, in portuguese:

    Desculpem pela tradução do inglês, eu usei o Tradutor do Google (sou brasileiro).

    Teria como personalizar os termos dos "atalhos de mouse" que são mostrados na tela quando arrastamos o mesmo?

    Criei vários atalhos de mouse que buscam o termo destacado por mim em diversas páginas diferentes.

    Na imagem podemos ver o termo "007-Quantum of Solace" destacado. Quando aciono o atalho e chego no ponto desejado, a imagem só me retorna os termos: "Copy, Copy, Copy". Ao invés de me mostrar os nomes das páginas que seriam: "Baixaki, YouTube e Google".

    Vejam como está e como quero.

    11.50 was a different case - it included many features, Opera 11.51 is just a maintenance update so it does not include major features except support for Mac OS X Lion new Fullscreen application mode.

    I don't think this is something new to Opera 11.51. This must have been the same in Opera 11.50. If it was the same in Opera 11.50, then please DO NOT report in the comments.
    Only things that were working in Opera 11.50 but are now broken in Opera 11.51 should be reported in the comments.
  • StilezySaturday, August 27, 2011 10:39:10 AM

    11.51.1087 crashed on startup 1st and 2nd time I ran it, then 3rd time started up without problems, crashed again 4th time starting up. Clean install. Not sure if this is new, old or regression but a problem either way. Automatic crash log submitted.

    if the flash video data stream stops suddenly without the computer's network connection going down then opera crashes or freezes as it waits for more data.
    This has been happening ever since opera 10 (i think opera 9 did it too, not sure though)

    currently using 11.51rc2 (build 1087) and flash player plugin 10.3.183.7

    to test this: use an intermediary network device, e.g. a router or a switch. While keeping the video player active pull the data connection from the internet to the switch/router but keep the connection active between the pc and the switch/router

    result: opera freezes, either instantly or within a minute. If you try to close it from the corner closing button the UI disappears but the opera.exe process remains active and i have to kill it from task manager.

    Didn't you read what this blog post says-

    "Remember as this is a maintenance update we are only interested in regressions since 11.50! Please do not report anything else here."

    So it would be ideal that you delete your comment by clicking the "Delete" button under your comment. Once you delete your comment, I would delete this (mine) comment.
