Opera Beta 3 is available for download.

Changes since Beta 2

User interface

  • New preference dialog. Most important changes:
    • Split into four tabs; General, Wand, Web pages, and Advanced.
    • Added preferences for showing notification pop-ups for messages, blocked pop-ups, and completed file transfers (Advanced > Notifications)
    • Skins have moved to the Tools > Appearance dialog.
  • Collapsed address bars in pop-ups now display domain name and security information (when appropriate).
  • "Match whole word" option in "Find in page" now correctly locates words next to punctuation marks.

Messaging and newsfeeds

  • Improved handling of received e-mail attachments
    • Attachments in received messages are now displayed above the message header
    • New "Save attachments" dialog allows for saving multiple attachments in one operation.
    • To display attachments inside messages as in previous versions, add "Show Attachments Inline=1" to the [User Prefs] section of opera6.ini
    • Image attachments are always displayed inside the message.
  • Fix for not saving draft when pressing Ctrl+S in a compose window.
  • Avoid problems with flowing in headers included in forwarded messages.
  • Reference header fix affecting threading in e-mail and newsgroups.
  • Recognize the <source> element in RSS 2.0 feeds and use it as the author name if no other name is found.
  • Improvements to detection of HTML content in RSS newsfeeds.
  • Corrected handling of Atom content with mode="escaped".
  • Fix for chat pages not scrolling properly.

Display and standards

  • Implemented support for SVG 1.1 Tiny.
  • Fixed styling of xml:lang.
  • Fixed regressions in rendering of floated elements and tables.
  • Fixed regression from preview 1 causing accidental padding of textareas.
  • DOM-handling fix solves display issue with some requests to Google Maps.
  • Fixed several issues with bidirectional text.
  • Require "dir" attribute for BDO elements to be valid and override bidi in standards mode.
  • Changes to "Fit to window width" handling/ERA.

Security

  • Improvement to IDNA handling.
    • Script detection now allows more IDNs to be displayed in Unicode. Only a single script and specific combinations are allowed in each label (separated by "." or "-").
    • Added support for switching from IDN whitelist to blacklist by adding a '~' as the first character in the string, that is, "~:com:tw:"
    • Added .hu and .museum to list of trusted domains.
  • Improvements to security bar and information dialog.

Voice

  • Voice download now includes both ordinary and high quality (CTTS -- Concatenative Text-To-Speech) libraries. Download size is 10,5MB. CTTS improves speech quality, but reduces flexibility; disable CTTS to adjust speech pitch, volume, and speed.

Miscellaneous

  • User defined window title can now contain %t for page title, in addition to the old %s for build number (opera6.ini).
  • '$' in searches now works as intended.
  • Solved multiple stability issues.
  • Fixed handling of Telnet links.
  • Added ua.ini settings '4' for identifying as Mozilla 5.0 (the same ID that is used by Firefox 1.0) and '5' for identifying as Internet Explorer.
