    REGRESSION since the public build before the previous public build:

    "DB Realtime Indikation" on http://www.finanzen.net/ has stopped working. The status field displays "Streaming system is disconnected". Linux build #2410 is fine.

    Edit: Never mind, I just deleted the webfeed folder in Appdata and now works.. By the way, keep it up!:D

    Mod edit: Please calm down before posting. Stay polite and constructive.
  • nataniel10. September 2008, 10:29:05

    Thanks for this build :smile:

    I have noticed the same problems than before with RSS. 50% of my RSS feeds are still unreadable :

    http://www.numerama.com/rss/news.rss

    and these two that I have already reported :

    http://www.tomsguide.com/fr/feeds/rss2/tom-s-guide-fr,20-0.xml
    http://www.dattebayo-fr.com/rss-news.php

    I know the errors are probably from these websites, but these feeds are OK with Safari and Firefox. Please be less strict with the code.
  • codename_slesar10. September 2008, 10:39:59

  • grogge10. September 2008, 11:08:42

    Multisearch1 is still broken when Opera starts with no tab.

    http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2008/09/05/9-60-beta-1-rc?startidx=50#comment5978656

    It used to work in 9.5x: Start Opera with no tabs (my default), the multisearch combo box had the default search active. But now after introducing those UNIQUEIDs it is simply blank without any search active until you open a tab (opening a tab being a workaround for this regression).
  • lamarca10. September 2008, 11:33:59

    thanks.
  • Orlando10. September 2008, 11:55:45

    olli: Download from Japan http mirror also doesn't work.

    BTW The russian translation is much improved in this version.
    Thanks!
  • olli10. September 2008, 12:11:30

    Orlando: Hmm I don't see japanese in the list..
  • petersayce10. September 2008, 12:14:30

    As per bug reports submitted under 9.5. Email issues:

    1. Yahoo.co.uk - can log in, but can't open email.
    2. Hotmail.com - can log in and open email, but when one clicks on email all folders [inbox etc] are highlighted in gray:whistle: :whistle:
  • -Vector-->10. September 2008, 12:14:30

    Sure thing.

    olli:
    JP Ring Server HTTP:
    http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=31651&location=53&sub=++++&x=150&y=31
    But now it works (I`m sure it gave a 404 about 10 minutes ago)!
  • emperordarius10. September 2008, 12:19:10

    Issue not fixed since version 9.5, after playing a game on newgrounds.com, if you try opening another game there's no audio, and if you try to view any youtube video, the video gets stuck at 00:02 :yikes:

    Edit: Plugin problem :D
  • kavalec7410. September 2008, 12:40:50

    I see native QT skin :O !!!

    What is that please?
  • Spackie10. September 2008, 12:50:05

    Show stopper issues not fixed since 9.27:

    HTTPS particularly for banking institutions
    Google groups are still broken

    Why are these issues not resolved? Why not feature freeze and fix the bugs?
  • GoJoeGo10. September 2008, 12:58:40

    @Spackie: uh, in case you didn't notice, no new features have been added since the first snapshot!

    Also, your description of those "issues" is useless. Google Groups seems to work fine here, as does HTTPS.

    :troll:
  • HeeZy10. September 2008, 12:58:58

    sync still broken?

    Just as it's called, it's skin utilizing (or at least looking like) native Qt4 widgets
  • FataL10. September 2008, 13:03:28

    added Ukranian language file
    :up:
  • nataniel10. September 2008, 13:07:37

    Problems on Deezer.com, sometimes it's impossible to write in the text area, or to change what I have written before. The text area seems to be "locked". Then, when I click on the language choice on the top of the site, I go to a blank page and the URL page is "javascript:void(0)" (Mac version).
  • denis.koroskin10. September 2008, 13:11:00

    OperaSync cannot login via proxy for quite a while. :frown:
  • MrBlueSky10. September 2008, 13:33:28

    Thanx, Keep'em coming! :D
  • misoman10. September 2008, 14:39:53

    Opera team, thank you *very* much for fixing the sessions issue!

    @GoJoeGo: Try setting your Google Groups thread view options to View as Tree if you want to witness one of the problems people are having.
  • lexa7710. September 2008, 15:01:00

    Great job! Thank you! Opera forever!
    But maybe I missed something...:confused:
    I can`t find anywhere that thing-Is it possible to change TITLE under thumbnail in Speed Dial?
    In "speeddial.ini" I can not do this.:cry:
    GOOD LUCK FOR EVERYBODY!
  • endorphinity10. September 2008, 15:31:31

    There is no 'Ukranian', but 'Ukrainian' language, however, that's not my point. Was this locale added to specific platforms only? I don't see it in Mac OS X build.
  • King Crimson10. September 2008, 15:43:50

    Besides the old same bug I've always written about, this build and last one, crash very often and sometimes an error message appears about a "Shockwave Flash" error.

    Another problem: this build often does not remember last saving files folder.

    This is quite an unusable build to me.
  • Morphdreamer10. September 2008, 15:44:20


    *FCKeditor Demo didn't load (broke alot of other stuff aswell)
