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:

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.

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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
