Yet another 10.70 snapshot coming right up!

August 5, 2010 · by Kris

This is my debut on Desktop's blog so let me just say "Hello World!" from [QA] part of Desktop Team located in Wroclaw, Poland.

Today we'd like to serve you a plate of hot fixes. Chef's speciality are some crash fixes seasoned with plenty of UI and usability ones. So please take your seat and enjoy today's meal snapshot :)

And please remember that we're counting on you. Share your opinions about our work! Your feedback is really helpful.

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.

    You had loads in the previous snapshot. I don't recall Windows users complaining then...

    It is how it is..
  • Andrew Sam5. August 2010, 11:45

    hoping for better KDE integration in this release! otherwise happy with testing any releases that you might have
  • Pedro Ferreira5. August 2010, 11:46

    No improvements on that front in this build it seems. The start bar is still buggered, icons for RSS feeds, trash can and "open with" menu are still gone.
  • MossMan5. August 2010, 11:47

    I have discovered some major issues with mail in the last build. Don't see anything about mail in the changelog for this one... hmmm...

    First problem I found:

    - changing the sender address in the mail compose window causes instant crash (I sent a bunch of crash reports through to Opera while I tried to get a certain mail sent!)

    - I later limited "show messages from" to the correct account so I could actually send the bloody mail... and then my sent message showed up in the newsfeeds! When I switched back to "all accounts" it disappeared, and now it's in the sent mail - but with no message content!
  • PlMichal5. August 2010, 11:48

    thx :cheers:
  • Luca Viozzi5. August 2010, 11:52

    hi Kris xD
  • Anton Diaz5. August 2010, 11:54

    But what about 10.61 release candidates?
  • Nico5. August 2010, 11:55

    I guess it's "A Snapshot a day keeps the doctor away", right? :D
  • Rick5. August 2010, 11:59

    Custom site icons in Bookmarks are still broken/missing under Linux.

    This blog post is not visible on the main desktop team's blog when on another browser! :lol:
  • yonesylvan5. August 2010, 12:09

    Yes :D
  • AgentCROCODILE5. August 2010, 12:11

    So please take your seat and enjoy today's meal snapshot

    Oh come on! Snapshots taste delicious! Especially with barbecue sauce 10.70 beta!
  • Kamalesh5. August 2010, 12:13

    Great fixes.

    I've been seeing a lot of disk thrashing since the 2nd v10.70 build (mem cache=AUTO; disk cache=100M; my RAM=2G, OSX). This latest seems to be better.

    Also, with the more robust HTML5 support, please take note of Gmail's drag/drop features. They're starting to leverage Chrome-only features, but Safari/FF do support drag-in now, but not drag-out...so I hope v10.70 can support it shortly.

    (Or, don't tell me Google's using prefixes in the Gmail code and breaking Opera again?)
  • sabisan5. August 2010, 12:14

    Thx :up:

    Testing... :D

    EDIT: Start bar sometimes/randomly empty.

    I think Opera desktop team must work only on 10.70 because this version is highly priority than 10.61. Working on 2 versions same time could be not effective
  • Namelesske5. August 2010, 12:18

    Please tell me something about 10.61. When will be published?
  • Arguggi5. August 2010, 12:19

    Thanks! testing :D

    10.70 for me, is better than 10.61! Waits new builds of 10.70:yes:
  • Sardorbek5. August 2010, 12:27

    no *nix specific fixes? hope 10.70 would fix all font issues on *nix'es .Thanks.
  • MyOpera team, please fix this!5. August 2010, 12:29

    It is the case that opera simply doesn't support the technology. Compare this supported technology list across the browsers. Opera is doing very well but that list is not all green so some things simply won't work.
  • Hokkut5. August 2010, 12:30

    thanks for fix DSK-304468 (Freeze when enabling sound in webpages) :beer:
  • porneL5. August 2010, 12:31

    Removal of custom preview was a brave macification :)
    I hope custom font requester and spell checker are next.
  • Dmitry5. August 2010, 12:32

    again, not fixed, when will fix it? =\ DSK-303971 and DSK-303972

    Not entirely true. Development is likely to be task based, and many fixes can be included in build management for either release.
  • Wouter5. August 2010, 12:44

    I don't get it; this is fixed: DSK-300344 (Opacity not applied to Aqua buttons), which seems totally trivial to me, whereas DSK-304207, which renders Opera completely unusable on Mac OS 10.4.11, is not. Why???

    There's a cookie problem here, but only affects initial home page view. Notice the small font size. Go to bottom site < Preferences > to change to < font size = browser default >.

    Close tab, come back to site and front page has forced small font again and cookie seems to be ignored.

    After clicking on an internal site link (star next to headline), (font size for browser default) cookie seems to honored.
    (OSX v10.6.3)
  • Bill P5. August 2010, 12:45

    Download popup window not opening

    When I clicked on today's rpm to dl nothing happened, no popup offering open or save. Save to dl folder did work

    64bit Linux kde4

    ps - this is better than a previous version where the the window popped up and Opera froze.
  • Gereford5. August 2010, 12:45

    Thx, testing. Everyday snapshot. It's good.

    I don't think they have ever worked on 1 version at a time. There are always 2+ branches running in parallel. While we were on the old JS engine, they were making the new one at the same time. Otherwise we'd have nothing to upgrade to.
  • Crabman5. August 2010, 13:06

    "DSK-300083 (UI focus lost in lots of cases, causing shortcuts to fail)"

    Awesome, this fixed a lot of problems! One of the bugs that has been annoying me since last December. :)
  • sabisan5. August 2010, 13:08

    Is "Opera-link-sync-dialog-process" much quicker ? :up:

    (or just a placebo lol :D)
  • Penge5. August 2010, 13:12

    Thanks for: DSK-295426, DSK-300083 and DSK-304468

    BTW the DSK-304468 still buggy. I already can enabling or disabling, but when I enabling it from F12 quick menu it still give an dialog about download Voice Library.

    That's not dsk-304468 that's another bug that's not fixed yet
  • Michel Budnyatsky5. August 2010, 13:14

    Please, fix the following bugs:

    1. Opera doesn't suggest address "opera:about" if user typed "about", actually it's a regression, in Opera 8/9 it worked.

    2. Search suggestion works only for a few sites, e.g. Opera's search suggestions don't work for Google.com, in order to enable it you have to go samurai way and edit config files manually.

    Quit it with the nagging. You got a sh*tload of exclusive fixes in the previous one.
  • z@h3k5. August 2010, 13:18

    OMG...so fast...:)

    Yeah, you CLEARLY don't get it. Just because YOU think one thing is important and another thing isn't doesn't mean that you are right.

    Also, different things take DIFFEERENT AMOUNTS OF WORK to fix. Is that a completely unknown concept over there?
  • Jeffrey C Honig5. August 2010, 13:19

    I'm still having problems with DSK-301905: Google Voice will not load on amd64 Opera with Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit.

    Otherwise, no issues.
  • Luca Viozzi5. August 2010, 13:22

    this build seems to be finally usable on my windows 7 64bit, i was really annoyed with all that damned crashes (10.60 official and latest test builds) ... :(
    I've sent tons of reports!
    Keep it going! :)
  • slalaurette5. August 2010, 13:23

    "DSK-296732 (Panel opens when Opera is loaded)"

    YYYYYEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
  • tim715. August 2010, 13:25

    I thought for long time, that this spam killing the logs on my EEEPC was related to WLAN drivers or something else, but now I discovered, that is is related to Opera, because it starts and stops with starting and closing Opera.

  • arghwashier5. August 2010, 13:36

    I don't have a menu entry anymore for opera, only the widget manager (i386, rpm, gnome mdv 2010.1)

    (it seems to be hidden/not shown by default I could turn it on with the menu editor)
