Hi! Hopefully a few of you remember me. I was once a regular poster on the Desktop team blog and then disappeared for a bit. Well after several months paternity leave I am back and raring to go!Whilst I was away a number of changes happened here in the office, not least the rewrite of our desktop browser. Opera 15 is a fantastic browser but it still just the very beginning of things to come.As with small children, sometimes changes will be minor and other times there are big jumps in development. Today the changes are small but they are still baby steps towards further greatness. I hope you, like me, enjoy the journey of watching the new Opera grow and become ever better with each passing day. Thanks for the testing!
We’ve been dogfooding our stabilization work together with our users and are pretty pleased with how this new process is working out. This is our latest effort to stabilize Opera 16 for release.
Today we have a new Opera Developer update for you guys.If you have missed bookmarks, you can start playing with the Quick Access Bar now. Enable the bar in opera:flags, and then enable the feature in opera:settings under "User Interface". Now you can drag and drop pages to the Quick Access Bar for easy access, or add new pages by simply pressing the plus button. The Quick Access Bar is built upon the newly-implemented Bookmarks API, so you can get extensions to interact with the Quick Access Bar.Amongst the others we are still working on Search Engines manager and Themes installations. Synchronization lacks servers so it's not for testing yet.We promised upgrades to tabs handling, so here's the first: "drag and drop" of tabs first preview is here. Enable "Allow moving tabs between windows" in opera:flags and have some fun
Another update to our Opera Next (16) product, with several useful fixes. Thanks as always for your feedback and testing.
Continuing our tradition, first I would like to attach a weather report: Oslo 21°C Partly Cloudy, Warsaw/Wrocław 22°C Mostly Sunny wink To the point, you can download fresh stable release of Opera 16. Probably you're already using Next and/or Developer, so except rock solid stability, nothing really new for you. If you are on the Stable stream, you get the update automatically.
This is my first time writing on the desktop team blog, though you might have seen me trolling the intarwebs and replying to people on Twitter, Google+ and Facebook. Often I'm named simply "Opera" though, so might be hard to spot. We also seem to always talk about the beautiful weather, even though we're all inside. So, yes, it's sunny and warm. Outside.Today we have a new Developer build! It's not very long time since the last one, but there's quite a lot in it already. 17 is however branched off at 1246 and should be feature frozen now. My guess is that this version (1246, that is) will be promoted to Next after a stabilizing run. So this might be the last Developer build of 17.
As the Opera rapid release cycle beds down, today we're promoting Opera 17 from the Developer channel (highly experimental) to the Next channel, which is our feature-complete line and thr last stage before being released to the world as the stable product.Besides bugfixes, the highlight of things of this Opera 17 Next release: More settings and preferences, like startup handling options, manage search engines, Pinned tabs, DPI aware on Windows, Enhanced extensions APIs and possibility to hide extensions buttons.We read all your bug reports and feedback (thanks a million for giving it to us). We've decided to postpone Quick Access Bar as it still needs some tweaking and bug fixing. Synchronization can't yet be turned on while we finalise the server-side support and add support for more data types in the browser.Of course, you will find all the feature switches in opera:flagsOpera 18 Developer should be released very soon. Besides Quick Access Bar, Synchronization, you should soon see further work in the area of tabs handling improvements, better autofill, themes, addressbar improvements and many others.Thanks in advance for your bug reports and comments. To save some of you a little trouble, there is no Linux release of Opera 17, but there will be Opera for Linux.
As summer glides away to be replaced by the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, we're releasing the first iteration of Opera 18 in the Developer channel. If you don't notice that much differences from latest O17 dev stream, don't worry, this is our 18 "early bird", which will be refined and enhanced until features are frozen and it moves into the Next channel for bug fixing. There is more to come!The initial new features are Moving tabs between windows works on Mac and Windows Installing themes is stabilized and enabled by default Lots of bugs are fixed: full changelog New engine versionAs we make updates, you'll hopefully see enhancements to Quick Access Bar, tab handling, more settings, right click on edit fields to create searches, improvements on HDD usage, Synchronization (Opera Link) might be available in two weeks time, and others.Note that features will be implemented when they're ready, so the list above may change if we encounter showstopper bugs or UI nasties, in which case they'll be rolled over to another release. For the same reason, it's possible that features may be removed before Opera 18 goes to the Next channel.There is no Linux version of Opera available yet. As always, we'll be delighted to hear comments about bugs or UI.
So Next (17) is chugging along on the stabilization track. A few crash fixes, plus a few small bug fixes which you can read about in the changelog.
