Eine höchstwahrscheinlich nächste Woche erscheinende Opera 9.5 Test Version schafft den Acid3 Test zu 100%

Zitat

I have a quick update on where we are with Acid3.
Since the test was officially announced recently ( http://www.webstanda...eases/20080303/ ) , our Core developers have been hard at work fixing bugs and adding the missing standards support.
Today we reached a 100% pass rate for the first time! There are some remaining issues yet to be fixed, but we hope to have those sorted out shortly.

We will release a technical preview version on http://labs.opera.com within the next week or so. For now, the screenshot above shows the Acid3 test as rendered in our latest WinGogi Desktop build. WinGogi is the Windows version of our reference builds used for the internal testing of Opera's platform independent Core.

Painting performance fixes

By mitchman2. Friday, 28. March 2008, 13:55:30

kestrel, Opera, snapshot, performance
This week we've been working on performance on Windows and Mac painting. You should see performance increase by 2x to 10x on heavy DHTML pages. Performance increase depend on the test page, graphics card, and OS used. To see the improvements for yourself, compare the previous snapshot to today's release on the following test cases:

Performance test 1
Performance test 2

Under XP, with a AMD 4600+ X2 CPU and a NVidia 7600 GT gfx card, I see a 9x performance increase. On other graphics cards and OSes, the performance improvement will differ.

It's worth noting that this optimization is in painting performance and might not yield similar improvements on regular web pages without DHTML or other graphics intensive operations. We have also done some performance optimizations in Javascript garbage collection and memory allocation of ECMAscript objects, which should be visible on all platforms.

Many of the Acid3 fixes we've made are still undergoing testing and further development, so you will not see Kestrel achieve the same pass rate on Acid3 for the time being. If you want to test our GOGI build for ACID 3 compliance, head over to the Opera Labs.

WARNING: These are development snapshots: they contain the latest changes, but they also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, they may not work at all.

Known issues
Opening Help will cause Opera to crash.
Save As for a web page only lets you save as "HTML file" on Windows.
The progress bar does not show if it's set to "Pop-up at the bottom".
On OS X, scrolling to the bottom of a page with the scrollbars does not work.

Changelog
Several download fixes
"Open With" other browsers now works.
Fixed funky parsing problems on YouTube.
All downloads and saved content (except web pages) are now put in the transfer window for easier access
Viewing source should now work properly with applications that need a file extension to work
UNIX: Fixed a Flash crash
UNIX: Made the mplayer plug-in draw itself in the correct size again
UNIX and Mac: Fixed various command line bugs
Calling substr with negative length now returns an empty string
Array indexOf now treats a non-numeric second parameter as 0

Mail
Fixed problems expunging or moving messages on certain servers
Fixed issue where the "Contacting Folder" status message displayed the wrong count

ACID3 fixes
Zero bytes in encodeURIComponent and encodeURI are now handled correctly
Unicode escapes can no longer be used to put non-identifier characters into identifiers

noch ein übliches friday-weekly hinten ran.

EV and certificate updates

By csant. Tuesday, 8. April 2008, 15:12:24

certificates, ev, Opera, kestrel
Subtle, but important UI and backend changes are coming up. In just a few words: Kestrel gets EV, the address field will change the way it displays page information, and we now have automatic certificate updates!

This latest snapshot build has support for Extended Validation certificates, in short called EV. This means that on EV sites you'll see a padlock on a green background. And remember: It ain't EV 'til it's EV, all EV. Opera is a bit more strict than other browsers, and will display an EV site with a "green padlock" only if all elements on the page are EV. Read Yngve's article for details on this.

You'll also notice some more changes in the address bar: the fraud protection button will now work differently: for HTTP sites you will not see the button anymore. On HTTPS sites the padlock will be on yellow background, and for EV the padlock will be on green background. If however you come across an HTTPS site which lowers the overall rating of the security level of the page (details on the levels are again to be found in Yngve's article), you will see a grey "?" button, which will provide you with more information on the security level. A fraudulent page will still be flagged with a red warning in the address field.

The backend change in this snapshot affects the certificate database: we can now add new Roots to the Certificate Authority database without requiring users to update their installation. Find details about this over in Yngve's article.


WARNING: These are development snapshots: they contain the latest changes, but they also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, they may not work at all.

Known issues sagte:

Too many searches in the search engine list
"Open With" other browsers doesn't work.

Neue Opera 9.5 Build
Buildnummer: 9981 (Windows), 4814 (Mac), 1962 (UNIX)

Today's snapshot is significantly faster on Windows thanks to a technique called profile-guided optimization (PGO). Compiler optimizers sometimes make tweaks that are controversial: they improve performance in what it perceives as the most common case, but make it worse in the perceived least common case. The result can be much better if the compiler is given some hints. That's what PGO is about. With this technique, Opera is compiled twice. The first compilation creates a specially instrumented build that gathers statistics about which code is called and which variables are used most often. The instrumented build loads sites automatically using "URL player", a testing feature available in every Opera build (more information about that in a later blog post). This information is dumped into files and used to produce the final build that's optimized based on the gathered statistics.

Opera uses Microsoft's Visual Studio C++ compiler on Windows and gcc on UNIX and OS X, both of which support PGO. On Windows, setting up PGO builds was straight-forward. PGO in gcc is a different story. On both UNIX and OS X, the first PGO builds crashed. Work continues to resolve this issue.

Changelog:

• Fix for reloading inline elements.
  
• Fixed cookie settings for local server names.
  
• Fixed forwarding, replying and redirecting of HTML-only mails.
  
• Fixed high CPU usage when subscribed only to the IMAP Inbox folder on GMail.

• Fixed updating of Google Maps when panning
  
• CJK fonts should now look better in the default setup

Neue Opera 9.5 Build
Buildnummer: 10014 (Windows), 4833 (Mac), 1983 (UNIX)

We have been very strict on our EV implementation - the rationale behind our strict "It ain't EV 'til it's EV, all EV" has been extensively documented by Yngve in a few articles.

However, we are now moving towards a less strict implementation - a consistent user experience is important throughout the wide palette of browsers that implemented EV. At the recent face-to-face meeting with the Web Security Context Working Group, we have agreed with other vendors on this behaviour as an industry standard. You will now get the green padlock, signalling the presence of an EV certificate, if the top level document is served with strong TLS and EV, and all included elements are served at least with strong TLS. For details, please head over to Yngve's article.

In other news, Dragonfly guys have started making snapshots as well, with their first one released yesterday. On the desktop side we have started persistently caching the Dragonfly application so that it loads much faster, and can be used offline, after restarting Opera.

Also, our Core team has started a blog - head over to the new Core Team blog to follow the cool news and latest development at Opera's heart.

Changelog:

• New EV status policy.
  
• Fixed a crash when quitting with master password dialog open.
  
• Fixed a history navigation crash.
  
• Fixed a crash related to Dragonfly.
  
• Fixed handling of local resource files when installing Opera in a location with special characters in the path.
  
• Fixed an issue where Wand shortcuts stopped working after history navigation.
  
• Fixed filtering of messages in the error console - the filter will also apply to future events.
  
• Fixed initial focus in dialogs.

Mac-spezifisch:

• Fixed plugin focus issues on rtl.de.
  
• Fixed an issue where the window doesn't activate completely when clicked.
  
• Fixed repaint issues when pages are made shorter.
  
• Fixed an issue where text gets cut off in SELECT element.

UNIX-spezifisch:

• Fixed some font selection issues.
  
• Fixed some mouse panning issues.
  
• Fixed listing of files in the GTK filechooser.

Windows-spezifisch:

• Fixed default Save and Open location.
  
• Fixed a registry corruption of values used when other applications open Opera, caused by the classic installer.
  
• Fixed listing of files in the Open dialog.
  
• Saving web pages now correctly adds the extension.

Bekannte, noch nicht gelöste Probleme:

• [Bug 327180] Dragonfly does not work when JavaScript is disabled.
  
• [Bug 324377] Save Linked Content As fails sporadically.
  
• [Bug 332406] The drop-downs in the various dialogs open behind the dialog on Mac.
