Opera 10.0 Build 1601 Beta
Approaching the final Opera 10.0 release
We are quickly approaching the final release of Opera 10.0, so we have been working on fixing bugs and stabilizing the program.
What we need to do now is to identify any remaining issues that are serious enough to block the release (so-called "showstoppers"). There are some more bugfixes coming up, so we are not quite ready for a release candidate yet, but you should definitely let us know about any serious issues we may have missed.
This build includes numerous bugfixes and general stability work, as well as skin fixes, and some important changes to Opera Link. Opera Unite has also received some attention based on the feedback from the public.
* Automatic updates are not available for this snapshot at the moment.
Opera Link
* There are a few changes in Opera Link, so we hope you can take it for a spin and report any regressions. Improvements include better automatic merging of duplicate bookmarks due to fixes on the client side.
* Note that synchronizing search engines might not be working correctly, and requires a server-side fix which will arrive later.
Known Issues
* Native skins are not finished yet. Several issues remain.
* Opera Unite is not working in Unix Qt4 builds.
* Synchronizing search engines might not work yet
