Opera 10.61 Release candidate ready for testing (bug fixes ahoy)

By , Published July 29, 2010

The first release candidate of Opera 10.61 – the first 'service pack' to Opera 10.60 released 28 short days ago – has been made available for wily users to download and test today.

Opera-fiends and those looking to fix some -really- annoying bugs in Opera 10.6 (looking at you plug-in crasher) on Linux may wish to use this bug salve pronto. Casual users (or those of a nervous disposition) should wait until this update hits stable.

      I doubt it. Just block apture.com/* and http://www.apture.com/*.

      Midori also does this, OMG just becomes incredibly slow, and eventually freezes the browser.

      I hope they fix broken bold fonts in this Opera release, it really annoying.

        Actually, it is fixed, I just booted up Opera (without updating), and bold fonts are working again. Must be the system-wide switch to FreeSans font, even thought Opera doesn’t use system fonts.

      Better than me: on a certain PC, OMG! won’t load at all in NetPositive and mobile version it takes forever to download.

      SeMonkey can open up OMG, but the complex layout causes the box to struggle. Mobile version is again buggy.

      At least I don’t see a bar! (thank god for no JS)

      Specs:

      *500 Mhz Pentium 3
      *64 MB RAM
      *BeOS 5.0.1 Personal Edition
      *NetPositive 2.2 and SeaMonkey 1.1

      Seriously.

      On my other faster PCs, I just use Adblock. The bar sucks. Also, Liferea is very finicky and likes to crash, and if it does, it will likely corrupt it’s data when crashing. Gawker feeds especially like to do this.

      We’ll have a super-speedy new site in a few weeks when we move to wordpress.

      Personally Liferea’s built in browser has always been slow as a bone for me

    Opera just got better! It’s my default browser since 10.60, on Ubuntu. Firefox and Chrome are just way too heavy (in terms of memory usage). I wish they would implement a decent extension system, not just “widgets”…
