  I noticed a huge improvement in stability from previous 11.01 builds Win 7 x64. Awesome job, thanks!

• Spadar Shut21. January 2011, 16:54

  CORE-35350 (Expose the widget object to extension scripts)
  
  Good pace, guys!

• Gereford21. January 2011, 16:57

  Wow! Thx. Testing.

• Adrian21. January 2011, 16:57

  Can't wait to try out this on my school's Macs, since I do most of my work at foreign computers everyday.

• Paul Skinner21. January 2011, 17:08

  So can we please have an example of how to remove the Preferences suffix on Mac now?
  
  I like to run these dev builds in the normal stable directory structure.
  
  I was getting used to the PrefsSuffix file

• Charles McCathieNevile21. January 2011, 17:09

  Whee! To clarify...
  
  in step 3 above, I drag the Opera that is on my USB drive over the terminal?

• Paul Skinner21. January 2011, 17:11

  Is it:
  
  Drag installed Opera in to terminal, press backspace, then type: /Contents/MacOS/Opera -ps ""
  
  ?

• nimu_chan21. January 2011, 17:15

  Many thanks!!

  Yes.

  crash when this build starts, have 2 roll back to previous build
  w7x64

• Vladimyr Ivanov21. January 2011, 17:56

  Russian installer has a scroll bar in the quick help, but text is not scrollable
  
  

• zoquete21. January 2011, 18:02

  unusable, crashes immediatly all the time after upgrading.
  xp sp3

• SteveKong21. January 2011, 18:21

  Yes, could you provide an example how to get Opera running with a preference folder of my choice? (Preferably without using the terminal at each start!)

  Probably alongside DSK-322244, DSK-326335 seems to be fixed. Thanks.

• Oleg21. January 2011, 18:28

  1. If the "Enable special effects" in <Appearance> in the state <off>, we can see "hover" artifacts - broken buttons, broken panels.
  2. Bring back the ability to change bg color in skin Section [Panel Treeview Skin.focused] - are not working correctly.
  In earlier versions everything worked.

  You have to use the Terminal and the -ps <suffix> argument on each start-up.
  
  Starting with this build, the -csp argument takes president over any suffix set in the build [but not manually set]. If you install Opera on your local machine in this mode, than your settings will be stored in ~/.operaprofile without a suffix for preview- and final releases.

  You cannot remove it.
  
  If you really want to prevent it than there is an unsupported way of doing it: rm /path-to/Opera.app/Contents/Resources/Next

  memory issues persist waiting for a build with that long list of fixes

  Same here (w7 x64). Got it working by closing all tabs quickly before crash, leaving only Speed Dial open. Minimal restart did not work.
  
  edit: Minimal restart does work if you don't send a report. If you do send a report, the crash page causes a crash. Seems pretty much any page causes a crash... Unusable indeed.

• wannadance21. January 2011, 19:10

  On win7 32bit no crash at all so far

• Daniel Aleksandersen21. January 2011, 19:13

  The crash you’re all seeing is related to the change with extensions. Please try temporarily disabling them as a work-around for this snapshot.

• dbdbdugbug21. January 2011, 19:24

  Opera 11 is fast on WIN 98, WIN ME! It is a lot smaller even more than K-meleon, with K-meleon "KMFILES.7z" kit!
  10.0 MB (10,499,067 bytes) With UPX compression.
  
  It is sort of a manual set up to get it to work on a old system,
  but it is worth it!
  It would be easier if there was an classic installer option!

• Сергей Савин21. January 2011, 19:28

  crash without extensions...

  That didn't work for me. Even with extension disabled, when I try to visit any page it crashes.
  
  Debian Squeeze 32bit
  
  
  No crashes on Ubuntu 64bit till now, with extension ENABLED.

  To all you illiterate, undereducated evolved monkeys; Daniel specifically
  said this update is for Apple Mac users you dummies. (Linux exempted)
  
  If you don't understand what is means to Beta test - remain silent or move into a windows thread.

  Then why occur crashes on win7x64?

• minho21. January 2011, 19:58

  Testing.

• minho21. January 2011, 20:25

  Sometime there is not any favicon in tabs

  DSK-323299 (Optimize bookmark menu updating. Prevents freeze on keyboard input.)

  
  Thanks God! Works perfect!

  There are several changes affecting windows, and one windows only. Try reading the change-log next time imbecile.

  I have no extension installed

• DarN21. January 2011, 20:53

  I still have crashes after removing all extensions. Back to 1175.

• disinvis21. January 2011, 21:02

  >DSK-322244 (Pinned tabs too wide with a collapsed tab stack)
  Thank you very much!!!
  Now I'm again love you!

• netwolf21. January 2011, 21:04

  Well, back to 1175 on Win7x64 as well...

• Alexander21. January 2011, 21:04

  Hope that optional automatic tab stacking will appear at least in 11.02. Manual stacking is almost pointless

• karagöz21. January 2011, 21:27

  

• kapsi21. January 2011, 21:40

  I have no crashes so far.

• RX-320021. January 2011, 21:42

  DSK-326124 - fixed for me, but some users sayed that it's not fixed for them...
  2ALL: check your opera:config#UserPrefs|BrowserJavaScript - it may be =0 from previous bilds
  
  DSK-326125 - not fixed

• Leonhard Preis21. January 2011, 22:18

  Why do the installers of snapshots always try installing Opera a) as default browser (I don't want the snapshot to be default, this role is reserved for my "main", stable installation of Opera)?
  Also they are always in English though both my OS and any Opera installation is in German. This is actually quite annoying.
  
  Second problem which persists since spell check was introduced: The "RMT"-Button on the *keyboard* does not work as expected. E.g. it proves impossible to use it to change the dictionary. I think I'll finally write a bug report about this. >.<

• vansmith21. January 2011, 22:25

  The background of the disk image in OS X says "Opera 10.6." Not an issue with quality but something to note.

• CHEF-KOCH21. January 2011, 22:38

  DSK-287845: Re-editing e-mail drafts forces unwanted hard line wraps
  DSK-160078: Drafts and sent mail displayed formatted when editing
  
  This is still not fixed, is it so hard to fix this?
  I can't belive this.
  
  cheers

• Ja`Nusz Wu21. January 2011, 22:38

  "DSK-322244 (Pinned tabs too wide with a collapsed tab stack)"
  
  When You repair alone pinned tabs, to be normal size with text, not only icon?

• noelneh21. January 2011, 22:40

  Thanks for a new build....
  
  But this change in reference to:
  "CORE-35898 (URI fragment identifier wasn't being exposed in all URIs)"
  
  be also adressed with the issue of fixing the URL address input by making it more intuitive? as with previous builds?? (eg. Typing 'CNN' instead of Cnn.com yields the redirect to Google Webpage of results for CNN.COM)
  
  OR am I missing something here??

• blaxima21. January 2011, 23:03

  Not having any of the crash issues that other windows users are having.
  -Win xp sp3 with 8 extentions enabled and some js user scripts
  
  Still too memory hungry for my liking although I have noticed that it leaks it at a slower rate now.
  
  and this

  Only a quarter of the flash video is visible. This has been a problem in all of the 11 builds
  
  *DSK-326322
  
  Log in does not work either from any cbc.ca page
  *DSK-326422
  
  
  Also, http://imageshack.us/ when I went to upload the above image the browse button that should be next to the bar disappears. It reappears when I resize the browser itself but clone the tab and the button disappears again until resized.
  
  Win xp sp3

  
  The CBC is a major news/information outlet for an entire country so it would be nice to get it working correctly.

  You might be wanting to wait for regular released updates then, and not snapshots. And you might have to tell something about what you mean by "memory issues" if you'd like someone to actually investigate your problems.

  DSK-324504 (No close button on tabs that are not selected)
  
  Thanks.

• Dove21. January 2011, 23:52

  Great!
  Daniel,
  will these command switches (-name) work for Win builds (opera.exe -name)???
  I would wish if so !!! Please !
  

• Dove22. January 2011, 00:03

  >>> CORE-35350 (Expose the widget object to extension scripts)
  
  Does it mean that we can finally have a widget like an extension in one process with the browser ???
  

• highstream22. January 2011, 00:11

  Just closed this build for the first time and opera.exe process stayed open. Hadn't see that for a few builds.

• operic22. January 2011, 00:30

  after restart, opera opens the tab that was closed before closing opera.
  this old bug is very annoying
