Another round of improvements is coming to our Next channel. This build includes Chromium updated to version 37.0.2062.94 and a couple of bug fixes. Warnings for unresponsive plugins were often mentioned in the comments as a source of annoyance in the previous build, so we changed the timing and now they should appear less frequently. Let us know in the comments if it works better now.

Today we released an update to Opera developer 25. It contains a set of fixes, but the most important one is an update to Chromium 38.0.2125.8. You will find more details in the changelog.
Discover games!

Just in time for the autumn avalanche of new game releases, Opera’s Discover feature has added a Gaming category. With so many new games coming out at once, there is a fairly good chance you’ll discover a gem you might otherwise have overlooked. The new category is not yet available in all regions, but you can test it out in the U.S., Global, and a few other regions.

You can select just the categories you want from the Discover feature by clicking the gear button, then Categories and hiding the ones that are not relevant to you.

Release Notes

Bookmarks:

Here is how it works: Find something awesome on the internet. Like a recipe for Blackberry Frozen Yogurt Cake, Yum! Click the Heart to open a dialog and choose which image you want for this bookmark and where you want to put it.

A better startpage:

Did you try Opera Coast yet? Remember the first time you saw these cool icons for your favorite webpages? Well, we did and wanted them in Desktop, too! With Opera beta 25 we try out a new startpage that features Speed Dial with Coast-style tiles instead of screenshots.

Integrated PDF viewer:

Tired of losing focus when you are reading a PDF on a website? With Opera beta 25 we integrate a fast PDF Viewer directly into the browser so you can keep reading without changing applications.

Web notifications:

Notifications are a convenient way for webpages to inform their users about events, such as the delivery of email or a comment posted on a blog. With Opera beta 25 we make them as native to your system as possible: You will receive them as normal Windows or Mac notifications.

Support for H.264 and MP3:

H.264 video and MP3 Audio is widely used on the internet. With Opera beta 25 you will have native access to such content.

We have just pushed an update to Opera Stable, now ending up at the magic number of 64 (24.0.1558.64). You shouldn’t notice any change at all in this version, it contains the grand total of a single bug fix!

A security flaw was discovered in one of the cryptographic libraries used by Opera 24, it is this flaw which has now been corrected. The flaw would allow an active man in the middle to take over some secure connections, depending on the certificate used. For more details, you can check out the following links:

Release Notes

Improvements since Opera 24:

Stability enhancements.
Enhanced support for Chromium extensions.
Memory and loading improvements for the start page.
Fixes and enhancements for how Opera handles HiDPI video and MP3 audio.
Network installation for Mac.
Enhancement for the Opera tile icon on Windows 8.

Visual bookmarks:

Bookmarks in other browsers save website addresses – you can organize them in folders, and you can edit the titles. That’s easy. But, making it look good too is what we do at Opera. And, this is how it looks:
FOR WEB DEVELOPERS:

The HTML element:

Yes, is now available in Opera (and Chrome) by default! This new HTML element can be wrapped around any good ol’ element to enable art direction, different images types, high-DPI images, changing image sizes, and more. We recommend you read Yoav Weiss’s introduction to native responsive images, or look at Andreas Bovens’s list of responsive image use cases with documented code examples.

Screen Orientation API:

The Screen Orientation API provides the ability to read the user’s screen orientation type and angle, to be informed when the screen orientation state changes, and be able to lock the screen orientation to a specific state. This functionality is available under the window.screen.orientation object.

Web Notifications API:

Opera now supports the Web Notifications API, available under the window.Notification object. Even though the Chromium project has supported this feature for a long time, we wanted to get the UX right before shipping this in Opera.
The way Chromium deals with notifications makes it seem non-native to the operating system on most platforms. We wanted to make it feel native on all our supported platforms, and we worked on it to make it happen. As a result, Opera’s web notifications look and behave like native notifications. We believe this is a much better experience for users.
Opera add-ons can make use of this functionality through the chrome.notifications API. Note that because of our native OS integration, only simple notifications (similar to non-rich web notifications) are supported in Opera; rich chrome.notifications are not.

File constructor:

The global File constructor can be used to programmatically generate file objects on the client side:
var html = 'TestHello world!';
var file = new File([html], 'test.html', {
type': 'text/html'

TextEncoder/TextDecoder API:

The WHATWG Encoding Living Standard defines TextEncoder and TextDecoder interfaces that make it easy to translate between raw bytes and native JavaScript strings, regardless of which of the many standard encodings you need to work with.

Encode a string using UTF-8:

var encoder = new TextEncoder('utf-8');
var encoded = utf8encoder.encode('foo?bar');
an ArrayBuffer containing the bytes for this string as per UTF-8
0x66, 0x6F, 0x6F, 0xF0, 0x9D, 0x8C, 0x86, 0x62, 0x61, 0x72]
Decode the UTF-8 bytes back into a string:
var decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8');
decoder.decode(encoded);
foo?bar'

ES6 iterators and for-of:

ECMAScript 6 introduces a new for-of construct, which iterates over iterable objects like arrays, array-like objects, strings, iterators, generators, maps, and sets.
var iterable = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
for (var item of iterable) {
console.log(item);
My favorite example of this is iterating over all characters in a string. With for-of, supplementary Unicode symbols are automatically treated as a single unit, just like you’d expect. In ES5 you had to write a lot of boilerplate code to make that happen.
var string = 'foo?bar';
for (var item of string) {
console.log(item);
f', 'o', 'o', '?', 'b', 'a', 'r'

ES6 Map:

A Map object is a simple key/value map. Unlike regular objects in JavaScript, which store their keys as strings, Maps accept any value — both primitive values and objects — as keys and values.

ES6 Set:

A Set object is a collection of unique values. Sets accept values of any type — both primitive values and objects.

ES6 Symbols:

A Symbol is a unique and immutable data type that allows properties to be added to existing objects without the possibility of interference with the existing properties, unintended visibility, or with other uncoordinated additions by any other code.
Due to the use of Symbols, it’s impossible to extract the private value 42 from the object unless you have access to the symbol reference variable.
Object.getOwnPropertySymbols can be used to programmatically list the Symbol properties on a given object. Here’s an example that demonstrates that Array.prototype makes use of Symbols.

ES6 unscopables:

Unscopables allow properties to be hidden from with statement lookup rules. This makes it possible to add new properties to existing host objects, both in JavaScript and in the DOM, without breaking backwards compatibility.
ES6 defines lots of new mathematics-related functions, which we’re happy to support in this new release:
Math.acosh
Math.asinh
Math.atanh
Math.cbrt
Math.clz32
Math.cosh
Math.expm1
Math.fround
Math.hypot
Math.log10
Math.log1p
Math.log2
Math.sign
Math.sinh
Math.tanh
Math.trunc

Various SVG improvements:

SVG elements got a nice performance boost.

Also, SVG elements now support the following additional blend modes (for use in ):

color
color-burn
color-dodge
difference
exclusion
hard-light
hue
luminosity
overlay
saturation
soft-light

Removal of support for SVG web fonts:

Only Presto (i.e. Opera ? 12) and WebKit-based browsers ever implemented support for SVG web fonts in @font-face. Nowadays WOFF and WOFF2 are a much better choice.
As of this release, SVG web fonts are no longer supported, except on Windows systems which use GDI-based font rendering instead of DirectWrite-based font rendering (i.e. Windows < 7). Note that although the feature still works on those systems for now, it is considered deprecated, and support will eventually be removed completely.
