Opera 7.20 Beta 2 Available

Post by Hethrir »

get it here.

Changes:

* General *

- Support for opening protocols without // (magnet:, aim: ) in external program - see "File > Preferences > Programs and paths"
- Print selection enabled - prints only text for now
- Memory fixes
- GIF animation fixes
- Improved image display speed
- BiDi fixes
- ISINDEX fixes

* User interface *

- Possible to undo/redo (Ctrl Z/Y) marking of mail as read/unread, delete/undelete mail, and closing of browser windows. Limit: 100. (Known issue: Deleted mail is marked as read, and undoing delete will not go back to Unread status.)
- Ctrl+Alt+Z available as shortcut for reopening most recently closed page
- New "Closed" menu under the "Window" menu on the main menu bar listing the 100 last closed windows
- Fix for unreliable menu highlighting
- Fix for entering special characters into edit fields while at the same time supporting various shortcuts. Differentiate between the special AltGr key and the left Control+Alt key combo, so that it is now possible to press AltGr+some key for special characters, but also Alt+Control+same key to produce a shortcut instead
- Performance/lockup fixes
- Drag and drop improvements
- Fix for launching external source viewer using quotes
- Fixes to URL handling in Notes
- Fixes to the Wand
- Other tweaks/fixes

* M2 *

- Support for showing only mail belonging to specified account - dropdown in Hotlist, or available from "Mail > Show account"
- Support for account categories. Set category under "General" tab in account properties ("Mail > Manage accounts.." dialog). Also available from dropdown in Hotlist
- Support for hiding mail in custom views from other views (properties, "Filter" tab)
- Disable account dropdown from "Mail > Show account"
- Regexp filter support
- Improvements to authentication and auto selection of authentication methods; support for POP3 CAPA
- IMAP fixes


I'm really liking it. The aethetics of the interface are a little different, with colours separating the different section of the lower toolbar, and it appears slightly faster. Now i've worked out how to use mouse guestures, it makes it a little better also.

These days it truely hurts to go back to IE "bloatware/popup special" 6

I like Opera 6 better than 7.

Call me a heretic, but I don't have many problems with Exploder. I use Mozilla occasionally if IE is pissing me off.
