    Thankyou verymuch. That means the HTML5 parser might be included in Opera 12 if any major issues don't occur right???

    Hmm, the fact this ISN'T in a Next build, but a labs build, to me suggests that it's not a 12.0 feature, or that Opera really don't know Opera 12's features yet, and what's ready and what's not...

    Clearly a HTML5 parser is a rather large chunk of work, and I can understand Opera wanting to test it out with people without the fear of including it and then dropping it.

    Thanks. I don't know why Opera is not enabling WebSockets API even when it was updated on 19 April 2011.

    does anyone told you that opera 12 will have HW acceleration?
  • ep01Thursday, July 21, 2011 3:45:27 PM

  • MorphdreamerThursday, July 21, 2011 3:57:03 PM

    previously, we had a 99.9% pass-rate on an extensive test suite based on the html5lib tests for the parser part of the HTML 5 specification. Now that's 100%.



    up Are you going to release that test suite for public?

    Probably not. But we can expect the HTML5 parser to land in Opera 12.0 as Opera 12 has not even reached Alpha stage. The Alpha decides whether a particular version of Opera will have a feature(this is true for major features.

    Elaborate please. And remember, this is a Labs build, so bugs are to be expected wink
  • tisazalayThursday, July 21, 2011 5:38:28 PM

    WOW, incredible, better than the current Next build regarding speed, it even fixed at least 2 bugs present in the Next Builds, the moving "+" for opening speed dials, and the missing search box when you open a new speed dial page from another speed dial...(Try pressing Ctrl-T twice in the Next builds to see what I mean!), (will get a spin to see if the lines across images is also fixed)
    Let's hope this gets into the next channel soon, right now I'm running it in stand-alone mode from a USB stick.

    They might have backported the current trunk to the labs build but it's a labs build which means it is not only possibly buggy but also experimental.

    Great work guys but the Stig's icon needs changing - nobody knows who the Stig is! :-D
  • Jamie Eppersonne081Thursday, July 21, 2011 6:48:40 PM

    Is anyone else not able to browse anywhere in this build? I mentioned earlier that it reacts as if my internet is down. Just errors when trying to surf to any site. Strange that id be the only one with this problem????

  • QuHnoFriday, July 22, 2011 6:43:41 AM

    Despite this build being a Labs build, it causes much less problems (= less crashes and freezes) than the latest Opera Next builds here - and the HTML5 parser rocks! cheers

    I doubt it, Opera is, And has been very efficient with memory (Not counting any memory leaks), No matter what all the others shout and moan about it.

    Btw, This is a VERY (Not said lightly) VERY stable build, Not had any problems whatsoever in the time i have been using it. yes, I am actually using it inplace of my current stable 11.10 final version. Got to hand it to you guys (and girls), It looks like Opera is back on track, And this is what i like to see. bigsmile

    You guys (and girls) make me feel proud of using a cutting edge version of Opera again. happy

    Keep it up, You are doing a bloody great job.cheers
