Finally an Opera post in the most recent 10 NOT bashing the company. Anyone elses Auto Update not updating to this latest build? I have it set to download all Snapshots and it thinks I am running the latest (I am running the "More Than Beta 2" build right now)....either way, updating now.

It gave me an auto update almost immediately after I woke my laptop from sleep. I still insist on downloading the installers as I apply my icon patch right after each build upgrade.

Now for visual changes done to the skins for this build:

- The tabs for dialogs are way too puny in the standard skin.

- Windows Native finally looks more native. The Panels bar looks a bit weird though. Navigation buttons look a bit Tango-ish in the Native skin. (Then again, most of the new icons bear a slight resemblance to the icons from the Tango project.)

edit:

Mac build may leave zombie processes running on your system which will feast on the brains of the living (related to crash logging)

:rofl:

I didn't get a prompt on my laptop

yep me. I have to get the snapshots manually. If i force get updates it tells i have the latest version (which i didn't)

Agreed about the dialog window tabs.

I'm using the Windows native skin and it seems to fit well except, as you mentioned, the panels don't seem to be done yet and also i don't think the tab bar fits in with the rest of the toolbars if they are enabled (main bar, etc.). I don't have them enabled, but for people who do, it doesn't look very good.

Just for future reference, if you turn on this option:

opera:config#AutoUpdate|DownloadAllSnapshots

you'll get prompted when a new snapshot is available.

Also, I should add that if you use the Windows Native skin on a XP visual style, the visual separation between the thumbnails divider and the navigation toolbar is terrible. :| I really like how the standard skin's coming along, but Opera still has a long way to go to please those who favour a native look for their applications.

Just for future reference, if you turn on this option:

opera:config#AutoUpdate|DownloadAllSnapshots

you'll get prompted when a new snapshot is available.

I have always had that option checked.....I even ensured it was checked when the last snapshot was posted and it never prompted me, it kept saying I was on the latest version.

Here's another snapshot.

Today you have two options to choose from: You can choose Opera 10.0 or Opera 10.10 with Unite. We're still working on polishing Opera Unite. We'll release the beta version of Opera 10.10 as soon as possible after the release of 10.0.

If you've installed any of the older snapshots or betas and set Opera to download all snapshots in opera:config you should automatically get updated to today's snapshots of Opera 10.0.

If you want to test out Unite, however, you'll have to download today's build of Opera 10.10 and install it manually. After that you'll be autoupdated to the next snapshot of Opera 10.10.

Highlights

? Opera should now run on FreeBSD 8

Known Issues

? No AMD64 FreeBSD 7/8 build

? Clicking the preview as a visitor in the photo sharing service does not work with restricted/private access

WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

desktop, widgets, alpha, 10.20

After having released our final version of Opera Unite, we are proud to present you with the next level of Web applications for your desktop. Just a short while ago, we have released a Labs version, previewing our new approach to widgets: Opera Widgets are now first-class citizens in your computer, being accessible from the same place as other applications and providing the chance to develop desktop applications only once, running in any operating system.

We have listened to your feedback after the first Labs release. Improvements are already in the pipeline to enhance the experience of Opera Widgets within the browser, but please share all your comments and suggestions to help us make an even better product for you.

Please note that this release includes only changes related to Opera Widgets. There are no other changes in the browser functionality.

Go ahead, try it!

Christmas comes early for Opera users

By Huib Kleinhout. Thursday, 17. December 2009, 14:46:24

10.5 evenes xmas

While everyone is off for Christmas vacation, the desktop team is working hard on preparing a nice holiday gift for Opera users. On December 22nd we will release a 10.5 pre-alpha. We'll keep it a surprise for now, but the keyword is: speed.

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/index...20evenes%20xmas

Great!! :jump:

My only concern is the widgets. I like the widgets on the panel with an option to make them stand-alone apps, rather than all been apps.

True. The 10.2 lacks a proper management panel, but hey it's an alpha release. And for an alpha the basic system works practically faultless.

    • 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.
