Opera 9.51 Build 10080.

Quote:

Opera 9.51 RC 2

More fixes in the pipeline for 9.51! As always, we appreciate constructive feedback. Main focus was on stability and the installer - some issues that users have encountered when upgrading from 9.27 should now be finally solved.

Changelog:
Security status should be now always correctly set when navigating from HTTP to HTTPS.
Fixed an issue related to OCSP and CRLs that would lower security level - Yngve has a detailed article. You'll have to manually check for updates to activate this fix.
Fixed an issue in the content blocker that might cause no page to be loaded anymore.
Fixed a crash on Yahoo! Mail (now really!).
Fixed a crash with userjs.
Fixed a crash related to Dragonfly.
Fixed a crash on Print Preview.
Fixed an issue that caused unwanted line breaks in rich text editors.
Fixed loading of stylesheets when navigating in history.

Great work on them, but I hope they will release a final 9.51 soon.

PangingJr · Jun 28, 2008, 04:20 PM

it will be.
software development team releases these snapshots (to people who likes to test them) so they will get feedback,
and this will continue on into a newer and better version of the software program.
i think, this is showing that they have a quite active software development communities.

And one more RC for the upcoming 9.51! Lots of nice fixes in this one - and we need your feedback, specially on:
upgrading (we did some more tweaks to the installer)
saving (of images, of web pages, of "stuff")

Changelog:
Fixed proper clearing of textarea when no-cache is set.
Fixed a crash on print preview.
Saving of images is not recorded in transfers anymore.
Fixed window.close() not functioning after invoking context menu… (this also fixes closing Dragonfly…)

I would rather have the option to have the saving of images recorded in transfers thus just dismiss it. I prefer it when I can see them there.
