Entwicklerblog: Welcome to Opera 10 Beta 1
Presseerklärung: Reward your curiosity with Opera 10 beta
Eigene Beta-Webseite auf opera.com
As always we have some new goodies for you, things you have not seen in previous snapshots.
Because I've had a finger or two into making these features I will present them for you and explain a little bit how they work.
Visual Tabs - oh shiny!
Yes, we have added thumbnails on the tabs themselves to make it even easier to find that Web site you were looking for. These visual tabs are currently folded away by default, but can easily be enabled by dragging the drag handle available just beneath the tab bar.
Double-clicking or middle-clicking the same drag handle will show/hide the tab thumbnails.
Speed Dial - more shiny!
Two popular requests for Speed Dial has been to be able to use more than 9 configured sites. We've also seen frequent requests to be able to have a customized Speed Dial background. Well, guess what?
In the bottom right of the Speed Dial you now have a new Configure Speed Dial button that opens a brand new configuration dialog.
With this new configuration dialog, you will be able to set a background picture that can be stretched, centered or tiled. It is also possible to set the number of sites that should be shown, ranging from 4 to 25.
More new features
If the last version of Opera you tested was 9.6 or the alpha from last year, here are some of the additional features in Opera 10 beta 1:
- Opera Turbo
- Automatic updates
- Crash logging
- Inline spelling checker
- 100/100 and pixel-perfect on the Acid3 test
- Significantly improved performance, particularly on CSS/HTML rendering
- Opera Mail HTML Compose support
- ... and much more!
This is just some of the new features we have included in the beta and I urge you to read the complete change logs available from http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/ for all the details.
