New Opera 11 snapshot: Extensions fixes, smaller winstaller, and *nix work

Hi, we are working hard on making our new extensions feature better, more functional and more stable. This build is the result of more than a week of our work on extensions, and also contains a small Unite surprise, fixes for the new Windows installer, and a nice set of *nix bug fixes.

From now on, Unite Application will no longer be delivered with the browser installer. Instead, they will be downloaded when launched for the first time. This noticeably reduces the installer size.

There's a new feature which involves an autoupdate feature for Opera Extensions and Unite Applications as well. It is not fully functional yet, as we are still working over server farm configuration.

Attention Extension Developers! Here's something you were definitely waiting for. You don't need to pack and install your extension every time you want to just test it. Now you can simply drag&drop your config.xml onto the browser for a quick preview.

  • DSK-317511 (DEP information displayed during Opera startup on Windows)

Os botões de avançar e retroceder do rato já funcionam nesta versão?

Estou "parado" na 10.63 até resolverem essa questão.

Sinceramente não te sei dizer. Podes experimentar instalar em External (não vai afectar a instalação actual) e se continuar não fazes o upgrade.
 
Está difícil de voltar á versão 10.63.
Tirando uma ou outra vez que crasha (raro), esta versão está muito boa. E já há alguma extensões muito interessantes. Já não consigo navegar sem o open-in-background-with-long-press, que para pessoas como eu que abre montes de abas e depois é que vejo tudo, é mesmo útil. A cena para por o fundo escuro no youtube não sei porque mas gosto mesmo.
O miniWolfram alpha também me dá algum jeito, apesar de isto ser um bocado "mariquices" a mais, porque bastava ir ao site :P
 
Já experimentei este "novo" Opera ainda em fase Alpha e digo que está DEMASIADO bom! Realmente esta equipa de develops do Opera é doutro mundo e se algum dia a Microsoft lhes deita a mão o IE da Microsoft vai levar uma revolução total. :P

E realmente as extensões dão ao Opera outra flexibilidade que vai permitir ás pessoas escolherem aquilo que mais querem usar no Opera e assim dar um toque pessoal ao browser. Muitos dos utilizadores do Firefox, continua tão lento e tão parado no tempo!, vão abrir os olhos para o Opera com extensões.

E com o tempo muitos dos develops de extensões para o Firefox irão adpatar as extensões mais famosas do Firefox ao Opera.

Na verdade, quase todas as extensões que estão no Opera agora já estavam disponíveis através de UserJS.

Pois, isso é verdade e eu já utilizava muitos UserJS, mas confesso que para o utilizador "normal" não é simples de encontrar e pôr a funcionar os vários que se encontram. Além disso só o facto de serem publicitadas e explicado para que servem ajuda a que as extensões sejam muito mais bem aceites. Às vezes nem sabes que tens uma necessidade até te mostrarem uma extensão que ta resolva. :)
 
Opera 11 snapshot, Core, UNIX and Extensions fixes

Hello Opera users! We're still working hard to make your Opera experience much better, it's Saturday, it's raining, there's no sunshine, generally the weather is bad here in Poland today... but a bunch of new hot fixes have arrived!
smile.gif


First of all there's a lot of Core fixes, and plenty of *nix fixes are also in. Next there are several Opera extensions fixes and improvements. Now you can use external repositories as your extensions auto update source. You can also install extensions from external repositories and add these addresses to white list to make your life easier next time. The extensions installer has a new look plus it shows additional info about installed extension.

For extensions developers, from now on if you drag'n'drop extension's config.xml file onto Opera a separate list is created in Extensions Manager which is titled 'Developer mode'. Each entry on this list has additional buttons: 'Reload' (you don't have to install and uninstall to see the changes now, just click 'Reload') and 'Open containing folder' which we think can be quite useful.

I wish you good coffee while reviewing the new changes!

10+ handy Opera 11 extensions

Opera 11 has finally joined the likes of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari in offering easy extensibility via extensions. While the list of available Opera extensions is comparatively short at the moment, there are already more than 100 to choose from -- and several that are quite handy.

You'll need Opera 11 installed to use these, of course. Grab a current snapshot build, as a number of extension-related issues have been fixed since the initial Opera 11 preview.

Now without further ado, let's jump in!

Translate

translate.jpg


A good number of extensions aim to add functionality from other browsers -- like Google Chrome's auto-translate feature. Translate (unsurprisingly) brings that functionality to Opera 11. Visit a page in a language other than your default (which you can set via a drop-down) and a toolbar offering to translate it appears.


Documents Preview

Want to open supported files using Google's Web-based viewer instead of downloading them to your machine? Install Documents Preview, and .DOC, .PDF, and .PPT files will open right inside Opera 11.


Image Preview

hover.jpg


Regardless of which browser I'm using, I like to have an extension installed that displays larger versions of image thumbnails when I hover over them. For Opera 11, image preview is the way to go.


Weather Forecast

forecast.jpg


In keeping with the easy-to-understand naming employed by the previous three extensions, Weather Forecast brings you up-to-the-minute info right in your toolbar. The drop-down provides the short-range forecast, shows sunrise and sunset times, and allows you to switch between multiple cities.


Snap Links

A favorite extension for Firefox, Snap Links for Opera offers the same functionality: click and drag a selection box around a group of links, and Opera will open them all in background tabs.


NoAds

noads.jpg

It seems like whenever we write up some Opera news, there's always one commenter saying "until there's AdBlock for Opera, I'd never consider switching." In truth, Opera has a pretty excellent way to block ads out-of-the-box, but now there's an actual extension for those who want it.


NotScripts

The second part of the powerfully geeky one-two browser extension punch, NotScripts brings (you guessed it!) NoScript's functionality to Opera 11. This one's also available as a Chrome extension from the same developer, which we've got to think means it's a fairly trivial task to port an extension from Chrome to Opera.


To-Read Sites

readlater.jpg


Services like Read it Later are a popular way to maintain a queue of items you just don't have time to dive into right now. To-Read Sites is an in-browser option -- no registration or log-in required.

Opera-to-Phone

Push-to-device extensions are all the rage -- Android users who browse with Opera on their desktop will want to pick up OTP. Unless, of course, you're already rocking the Opera Mobile for Android beta and using Link (sync).

Mini Wolfram Alpha

All the geeky computational goodness of Wolfram Alpha without having to leave your current tab.

Taskboard

taskboard.jpg


This extension loads the extremely slick, HTML5-powered 10K Apart app in a handy drop-down menu. It's a great way to keep a list of things you need to do close at hand.

Redirect to HTTPS

Blah blah Firesheep blah blah SSL. But seriously... It's a good idea to browse certain sites like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and the like via HTTPS whenever possible. Adding this extension to Opera 11 will redirect you on supported sites -- hopefully the developer will allow us to add our own sites in a future release.

Stumbleupon

For those who enjoy random discoveries, StumbleUpon has already released an official extension for Opera 11. It's the same great Web-based meandering experience it's always been on other browsers.
 
É uma questão de tempo até os develops de extensões começarem a adpatar as usas extensões mais conhecidas para o Opera. Também o browser do google tem várias extensões populares no firefox.
