Anyone could find it if they looked in the FTP server. If they post it in a publically accessable location, and announce it to people, I can't see why they would be angry.

Well congrats then, you just announced Opera 8 Beta 1 to the world! :happy:

Yes, to the whole wide world!

Look how Tibetans are celebrating the revolutionary Opera 8 Beta One!

Edit: I cannot resist it anymore. I just have to go out and celebrate with all these people on the streets!

:rolleyes:

Awesome!!! Has 7.60 even been released yet?

EDIT: Just installed it, but what is new?  I looks identical to the 7.60 build.. did they just rename it?  Being labeled 'beta' rather than 'alpha' I was looking forward to something visibly new.

No. 7.60 hasn't been released yet. At least not the final version.

Don't do beta's myself, but always glad to hear Opera is keeping up with the Jones'!! Or, is that keeping ahead? :woot:

this release has issues installing voice. this is confirmed. they would update it pretty soon. here is a thread on the opera forum:

Opera 8.0 Beta 1 = Opera 7.6 Beta 5

There were rumours that this was going to be the new name for a while, but now I guess we can call it verified.

Trolls deserve to be sodomised. That's right, right in their rectum.

Downloading now.

A new version is going to be uploaded tomorrow, along with the changelog.

Oh yeah, downloading now. Hopefully the download manager is fixed.

what do you mean by collapsible ad? no ads when no page is open? how does that help in any case! :) please explain.

on the brighter side... here is a good news.

Opera 8 is most likely to have no upgrade fee. and even better... One license is valid for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2 and Psion.

second part is here: http://www.opera.com/buy/

first part was mentioned on the irc channel.

    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
