• stoffix20. May 2008, 14:14:19

  Yeah, thanks, finally a new build to test

• Crinos51220. May 2008, 14:30:24

  What is the problem

• adiq9020. May 2008, 14:33:21

  Magic number of 10000 passed XD Hope that Kestrel will be finally released before 20000 x)

• drumblius20. May 2008, 14:33:31

  thanks

• johnnysaucepn20. May 2008, 14:42:21

  Feels very responsive - maybe just my machine. Does this build use PGO?
  

• haavard20. May 2008, 14:49:36

  "Does not work" is not very informative, unfortunately. If you are having problems, please try to be specific about them, and describe them in sufficient detail.

  Yes, the Windows versions do.

• Tuttle20. May 2008, 14:56:55

  Thanx Opera desktop team.
  
  When will it be acid3 combliant ?

• sgunhouse20. May 2008, 14:57:04

  BetaNews is a known content blocker issue, see multiple threads on the issue. No idea on OSNews, works fine here.

• lamarca20. May 2008, 14:57:28

  thanks for the new snapshot.

• sebt20. May 2008, 14:57:40

  Sweet
  
  Has the progress bar flickering, when set to pop-up at bottom, been fixed?
  

• mich471120. May 2008, 14:58:51

  The read X doesn't disappear after downloading e-mails.
  Why?

• ytsmabeer20. May 2008, 14:58:53

  @sebt:no that's stil there

• efekan25820. May 2008, 15:03:09

  Waooww that's very fast and stable Thanks

• cbinusa20. May 2008, 15:07:21

  I have debian AMD64 build no. 1962 installed on my Ubuntu Hardy machine. When I tried to install the May 20, build no. 1971, it said "error, later version already installed" and would not install. I don't know if relevant but I think Ubuntu just updated some qt files, as of a couple of days ago.

• mrskman20. May 2008, 15:11:33

  I get the same error as cbinusa on my Ubuntu HH. My last package is opera_9.50-20080508.6-shared-qt_i386.deb

• ytsmabeer20. May 2008, 15:11:54

  @cbinusa and mrskman:Look at the file of Opera, then you see that the naming is changed and now most linux system think that itś an older version.
  Sollucion1:Uninstall old Opera and reinstall Opera
  sollucion2:do it by hand (sudo dpkg -i filename)
  
  

• sebt20. May 2008, 15:12:14

  @ytsmabeer: thanks.
  
  Any news on PGO under Unix?
  
  Maybe it's me, but this build does seem significantly quicker.
  

• TFMF20. May 2008, 15:15:02

  I'm not sure if this was intentional, or if this is just me, but the address bar seems to be "all blue", where as before, the address part was green, and the description was blue. Very trivial, and like I said, could be just me.
  
  I hope that made sense.
  
  Otherwise - another fantastic build. Well done DT.

• siringo20. May 2008, 15:15:15

  Everything is fine!
  BUT why saving image open "Transfer" tab?

• intelimac20inch20. May 2008, 15:17:06

  Thanks for new stable snapshot!

• Tamil20. May 2008, 15:18:31

  ytsmabeer: thanks

• ytsmabeer20. May 2008, 15:20:02

  @Tamil:you are late, wat happened, no banana

• EricJH20. May 2008, 15:25:15

  Sweet... was getting a bit bored with the old version.....

• lamarca20. May 2008, 15:28:11

• inventao20. May 2008, 15:33:12

  Thanks.
  
  Betanews work fine for me, i use Vista x64

• lamarca20. May 2008, 15:48:33

  there are two options missing on delete private data
  
  clear history of typed-in addresses
  clear history of visited links
  
  

• unodgs20. May 2008, 15:51:47

  From few builds www.osnews.com www.osnews.pl and other pages stop loading in the middle. That's really annoyoing..

• Hypezor20. May 2008, 16:02:11

  héhé, new new naming for Unix builds ?
  Well, it's more understandable than .1 .6 .9 .10
  Trying this build after posting this useless message.

• kyleabaker20. May 2008, 16:07:26

  Well, good to see that this build fixes the address field button bug that I just mentioned yesterday! That was fasts! Impressive changelog!

• sacharja20. May 2008, 16:08:10

  Flash is still not working:
  
  - http://www.pautina.net/ (flash ad not "closable")
  - http://www.sciam.com/video.cfm (video not playing)
  - http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=de-de&vid=be9075bb-df0a-41c9-8d86-7ded46627e26 (site is totally crippled, but hurray the error is constant despite fixed-back-fixed-back )
  
  
  Apart from that, many sites are "empty":
  - http://www.crazyfrogonline.com/ bug-327301
  - http://www.rainbow-ct.de/ bug-327301
  - http://www.volkswagen.gr/ bug-327301
  
  bug-327292 (history panel search not working when VPS is deactivated) is fixed now, but now the same happens when opera:config#UserPrefs|VisitedPages is deactivated.
  
  bug-327296 (VPS results are on top of the search results in history panel) not fixed? So it's supposed that the URL drop-down shows the results with the search word included within the URL first and then the VPS results. In contrast history panel shows them mixed!! I think a search for "desktop" in the history panel should show URL results (e.g. my.opera.com/DESKTOPteam) first and then all other pages that contain "desktop" in their body text.

• John16420. May 2008, 16:08:47

  BetaNews Works OK here on my system Windows XP Home + SP3

• John16420. May 2008, 16:10:45

  OsNews works OK on my System Windows XP Home + SP3

• johnnysaucepn20. May 2008, 16:13:08

  LOVE that Volkwagen site!
  

  function browserRedirect()
  {
    var ns4 = document.layers;
    var ns6 = document.getElementById && !document.all;
    var ie4 = document.all;
    
    if(ns4) URLStr = "http://213.16.144.180/volkswagen/site/index1.html";
    else if(ns6) URLStr = "http://213.16.144.180/volkswagen/site/index1.html";
    else if(ie4) URLStr = "http://213.16.144.180/volkswagen/site/index1.html";
    else URLStr = "http://213.16.144.180/volkswagen/site/index1.html";
    location = URLStr;
  }

  
  

  <body onLoad="location.href='site/index1.html';">
  </body>

  
  So, unless you happen to fit their idea of browser sniffing, there's no exit from the loop!

• fearphage20. May 2008, 16:30:26

  FYI: Setting Max visited pages to 0 is no longer the off switch for history search. It seems the new option en/disabler is address bar content search.
  
  XPATH is 100% broken in WINDOWS

  JavaScript - http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=160450&t=1211300359&page=2
  Javascript URL thread: "javascript:alert(document.selectNodes('//div').length)"
  Error:
  name: Error
  message: TYPE_ERR
  

  
  
  If you're in windows using any recent userjs scripts, most or none of them will work in this build. I'm downgrading back to crashfest 08 (build 9981).

• ionbulgar20. May 2008, 16:31:40

  I would like it to remember that I don't want google to be my search engine (every time I restart opera it uses google, which I don't want). And also I can't place website icons in my address bar (like I used to before 9.5) which was a great feature.

• grogge20. May 2008, 16:49:11

  Delete search.ini in the program directory. You may have to delete your personal search.ini, too, in case you have deleted some of the default searches, because they get added to your personal search.ini when you do that (being marked as deleted).
  
  This "feature" was introduced quite early in the Kestrel development. The default search.ini will be added each time you install/upgrade, btw.

• YeOK20. May 2008, 16:59:57

  This build seems a lot more response. Thanks Opera Team.
  
  I also noticed the new version numbers, so as a note to all Linux users, as already said, remove opera before installing.
  
  opera x86_64 on Fedora 9.

• Ke11ett20. May 2008, 17:03:35

  Is there a problem with user.js? Mine does seem to be working since I upgraded.
  
  I'm still having the problem with the progress bar jumping around on page loading. i.e. www.hardocp.com

• stranded20. May 2008, 17:07:12

  thanks guys

• cousin33320. May 2008, 17:08:29

  I think the colors used in 99810's URL bar were better than this one's. We need clear, distinguishable letters for title, URL, text parts AND for highlighting. Black and dark (and light) blue is simple not enoght. I don't say, that that green black blue combo is the best it can get (although very "Firefoxish"), but was better than this. Come on, surprise us! (and make the colors changeable from opera:config)

• Soleen20. May 2008, 17:13:43

  This is so great! Fully localized Unix builds, AND A new Sparc Solaris Build
  Thank you, thank you, thank you! And I do like the new naming scheme, it make more sense!

• White_Eagle20. May 2008, 17:13:49

  Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
  
  I don't have to use Firefox anymore to surf digg.com!!

  This is an opera problem (bug #331562) not the script(s).
