12.50 Summer Core Update

By Kaja Ivarsoy(Kajaql). Friday, August 3, 2012 12:04:54 PM

The summer is coming to an end, people are coming home from holiday with smiling, sun kissed faces ready to start working/school again. The folks here at Opera have been working hard all summer. And here is the result.

This time we have a rather large changelog for you. We have two new extension APIs, Screenshot and Resource Loader, and we've expanded URL Filter. This was previously released in a labs release, but has now landed in mainline. See this post for more information.

There are several performance improvements, lots of bug fixes. Our update WebSocket implementation has been updated to rfc6455. The UA string has been trimmed a bit, removing the obsolete crypto strength token and the UI language that was only causing us problems. We've also dropped prefixes for CSS Transitions, Animations and Transforms. And the current date group header stays on top when scrolling in M2. To name a few.

HWA and WebGL are disabled by default, so if you want to test hardware acceleration, remember to enable opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableHardwareAcceleration...

12.01 doesn't work with Microsoft web apps and Google web apps and all they care about is 12.50? Priorities people! Priorities!!

The Opera team simultaneously works on the current stable build (in this case 12.0x) and the latest development builds (12.50 in this case). Just like every other browser developer. Mozilla does the same thing with Firefox for example. The nightlies are test builds working towards the next major release and if there are any major things that need to be addressed like security issues there will be an interim stable update, sometimes this brings newer features as well if it won't cause issues.

From my experience, most Google and Microsoft issues that crop up disappear when you have Opera identify itself as Firefox instead. Which means the browser is purposely being sent bad code to run specifically because it is Opera. Google is notorious for sending Opera users bad code.

      It's expensive, but I bet it will still sell out just like the Steam Deck and the Steam Controller

      This is listed as a preview in WU for me. I usually don't grab them as previews; what's your opinion on it so far?
