Opera 11.60 “Tunny” – first snapshot

November 4, 2011 · by Ruarí Ødegaard

We now plan to to have an update before Opera 12.00, which we will call Opera 11.60 and code name "Tunny". Tunny is another name for Tuna, and it is yet another incredibly fast chicken fish.

As you know the Wahoo snapshots already contain plenty of important Core updates, including great improvements in web standard support and hence have a big, positive impact on web site compatibility. Most of these features are almost ready for every day use and just need a little bit of polishing. However, other features including hardware acceleration still require a fair amount of work. Our ambitions for hardware acceleration are very high and we consider it more important to do it right, than to do it fast. Therefore we have decided to have an interim release, without hardware acceleration, so that Opera users can benefit from some of the other updates as soon as possible, in their every day, stable browser! party

Opera 11.60 should greatly improve your browsing experience when viewing your favourite websites as a result of the following updates:

  • A new HTML5 parser (Ragnarök)
  • A new version of Carakan—our ECMAScript (JavaScript) engine—with improved memory management on complex web applications
  • Full ECMAScript 5.1 support
  • CSS3 radial gradients
  • Support for HTML5 custom scheme and content handlers (new in this build)
  • New featherweight address field with bookmark star menu
Note: Other features such as the new theme support we showed off in the Opera 12 alpha will also be held off until Opera 12.00, as it is not yet ready for all three desktop platforms.

We're now working on Opera 11.60 and 12.00 side by side, so you will receive snapshots of both Opera versions from us. up Opera 11.60 is expected to ship in a final version very soon so we hope you will contribute too, by giving us your feedback on this first Tunny snapshot.

Please note that Opera Next should not be downgraded, so install this build separately from your Opera 12.00 installation.

Oh and one final thing, with this build we have once again upgraded Presto (our Core rendering engine) to jump from 2.9.220 to 2.10.228! yes

Known issues
  • Opera 11.60 snapshots will not be auto-updated (only 12.00 snapshots).
  • Flash Player 11 crashes on Mac. We recommend disabling it or downgrading for the time being.
  • This is an Opera build not Opera Next. You should backup your stable profile before upgrade.
WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes, and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

    The stock search field at the upper right on http://www.ariva.de/
    stopped working (works in Opera 11.52). E.g., if you click on the search field and then click on Commerzbank, a page for the Commerzbank stock should appear, but it doesn't.

    Great work guys.
    A very important bug is that https sites don't work behind proxy. In both 11.5 and 12 (can't try this build now).
    It used to be ok, but now google is encrypting search, so google isn't usable behind proxy anymore, which makes this a major issue.

  • MaximSailorMaxFriday, November 4, 2011 3:33:35 PM

    This builds for all texts change mouse pointer to as in input fields. Is it bug?

    2Ruarí: May be better before release 11.60 do not give us 12.00? I think almost all will test only 12.00 smile

  • Satan D. LucifersupertrolFriday, November 4, 2011 3:35:06 PM

    Looks like 12 will be delayed a little bit(sometime in 2012) but we got the goodies from 12 in this version and its updated core fixes but without HWA,WebGL,new themes

    there is a "probability" that presto 3.0 will landed in 12

    and i hope a further big featherweight fixes before 12

    good job though with this build..this is now my main stable build replacing 11.52:yes:

  • D1sasterp1eceFriday, November 4, 2011 3:35:22 PM

    Is it okay to install it over 11.52?

  • PetruspetrusFriday, November 4, 2011 3:42:16 PM

    Performance on the new tech site http://www.theverge.com/ is still terrible. It would seem that all the javascript usage is making opera lag a lot, and CPU usage is through the roof. Happens on both OSX 10.7.2 and Win7 using both this build and the latest stable.

    Now since the verge is the new site to most of the old engadget staff, fixing site perfomance should be a top priority imo, cause I'm pretty sure it's going to get big.

    Nope. This build is Opera 11.60 Beta release (Installed this build and in the opera:about section I see: Opera 11.60 Beta). (Correction: Please see the following comment by Mr. Ruari) Opera 11.60 is soon going to be released, as said - most probably in November itself.

    Opera 11.60 is a release which will include the stable features from the unstable Opera 12.00 builds.
    I really doubted that if HWA and WebGL are so unstable at this point, how will it get it ready by December 2011 (as promised at UpNorthWeb 2011), so now since Opera is shifting is main focus to Opera 11.60, Opera 12 would eventually be delayed.

    Confirmed, though the regression also exists in Opera 12.00 builds and Opera 11.60 is built from the stable bits of Opera 12.00.

    Minor correction. It is not quite a beta yet (don't trust opera:about on that point). Though we are probably quite close, depending on your feedback of course.

    HI every one I think this is the best decision the opera team could've taken. just thinking about how much work is involve in trying to stabilize the hardware acceleration feature using WEB GL, let alone implement the DIRECT X and the OPEN GL acceleration for all the major platforms is going to take a very long time. Considering the millions of different platforms, hardware and driver configurations i don't think the opera team can successfully finish polishing the hardware acceleration feature before the end of this year. So i think they will release it by march of next year.

    Installed Opera at the standard path as a clean USB install.
    Now it doesn't start at all unless you run it as administrator. If I try to start it normally, Opera keeps telling me, that it crashed while trying to show the crash dialog (although it shut down normally) and that I should send in the corresponding crash log manually!

    No idea if that works as you are downgrading (but as far as i know there no changes in the mail-part), but you could try to copy the mail folder in your 11.60 install.
    See opera:about for the path to that folder. On Windows Vista and newer this is probably something like:
    C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\mail

    Appreciate that. as mentioned can confirm that the crash does not happen on 11.52 / 12 : build 1116 BUT it DOES on 11.60

    Yep, C:/programs(x86)/Opera...
    However, what may be important: I wasn't able to install the USB-installation to that path either without opening the installer as administrator! Doing a normal installation works without admin rights to the same path!
