desktop, widgets, alpha, 10.20
After having released our final version of Opera Unite, we are proud to present you with the next level of Web applications for your desktop. Just a short while ago, we have
released a Labs version, previewing our new approach to widgets: Opera Widgets are now first-class citizens in your computer, being accessible from the same place as other applications and providing the chance to develop desktop applications only once, running in any operating system.
We have listened to your feedback after the first Labs release. Improvements are already in the pipeline to enhance the experience of Opera Widgets within the browser, but please share all your comments and suggestions to help us make an even better product for you.
Please note that this release includes only changes related to Opera Widgets. There are no other changes in the browser functionality.
Go ahead, try it!
WARNING: This is a development build: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.Download

No new 10.10 snapshots today,

unite, rc, weekend, 10.10
Isn't it nice getting builds? So nice in fact we thought you might want one for the weekend!
The main fix here is to DSK-271546 (After signing up for a new account, Opera isn't automatically logged in after restart), so please make sure this is working for you.
Thanks in advance for the testing!

We're continuing our polishing of Opera 10.10, so here's a new build with some important fixes.
Opera Link should be working without having to log in every time you start Opera. We have also fixed a crash in the Unite setup wizard, and fixed a bug where the Unite password is remembered even if "remember password" is unchecked.
The default message in Opera Mail is now translated again.

Here's another Unite build for you to test.
This time we have worked on making image generation in the Photo Sharing application faster (DSK-271038), and as you can see there are a few other tweaks as well. Give it a spin, and let us know if you find any regressions since the previous build.

10.10, rc, unite
At the Opera HQ we are feverishly working to fix all bad issues! The new RC build fixes a few more issues with not restarting Unite properly. Also, it addresses some more Unite problems and includes performance improvements. For Linux users, there are some fixes for the systray! As usual, we appreciate any reports about regressions! Happy testing!

Hey
Several people have mentioned that when restarting Opera the Unite applications do not restart. We have a possible fix.. So please take it for a spin and see if it caused any regressions.

Do you feel lucky? Well do you, Opera user?
This lucky build was born on Friday 13th! As luck would have it, it became an RC for Opera 10.10. That means that you are lucky enough to get to report any critical bugs, regressions, and so on, before we release it.
This no longer installs in the snapshot/beta path, so watch out for that or you could quickly run out of luck. (The default startup page still says beta, and that is because as far as the rest of the world is concerned, the latest official version of 10.10 is a beta.)
Good luck!
WARNING: This is a Friday 13th RC. It no longer installs in a snapshot/beta folder. It contains the latest changes, but should be stable enough for release. But as an RC, it could be unlucky enough to be pulled if any serious issues are found.Download

stability, 10.10, snapshot, unite
...
Time for another snapshot and also time for another team member to announce it!
Since I'm involved in UNIX/Linux testing it seems appropriate that I should be the one to announce a snapshot with some nice UNIX fixes. Firstly it seems we got around the Qt 4.5.3+ 100% CPU issue. Also a fix for freezes during DST-to-normal time switch. Finally, we noticed that a few of you were having problems getting Opera to pickup your default Qt style. If you are one of those users try running Opera with the new '-systemstyle' argument.
Of course it is not just Linux specific fixes. There are several Windows stability improvements, crash fixes, Unite fixes, tweaks to improve old features (e.g. check out the list of search engines in doubleclick menu.) ... But I won't list them all here, scroll down to the change log for the full details.
Oh, and before I go remember the
Unite Apps competition!
