It is located at: Intel Linux: http://web.opera.com/download/unix/untested/intel-linux/248-20020923-6.1-P1/ Intel Freebsd: http://web.opera.com/download/unix/untested/intel-freebsd/248-20020923-6.1-P1/ Changelog: http://web.opera.com/download/unix/untested/intel-linux/248-20020923-6.1-P1/changelog.txt Which Package to Select? http://web.opera.com/download/unix/untested/intel-linux/248-20020923-6.1-P1/whatpackage.txt Opera now uses Qt3 (see special notes below) As you can see there are regular Linux packages and for the first time native FreeBSD packages available. The FreeBSD packages have been built on FreeBSD 4.6 The FreeBSD version have the same set of features as the Linux version. Special notes: - This is a preview. There may be bugs or other problems we have not identified yet. Please report your discoveries to bugs.opera.com and to the lists. - The shared builds are made with Qt 3.0.4. There is a confirmed binary incompatibility between Qt 3.0.5 and the rest of the Qt 3.0.x series. Do no use the shared version with Qt 3.0.5 - There are still font issues to be solved in the page rendering but we encourage you to report problems. - Qt3x uses a modified Copy/Paste protocol. This means it is not 100% compatible with Qt2x (and KDE2) If you read this on the opera.beta newsgroup and want to make a posting regarding this package please cc it to opera.linux newsgroup because the Linux/UNIX team members monitor that list. This preview is only announced on the maillist and newsgroups and has not been tested as much as it would have been if it had been an official release. Changelog (since 6.03) Fonts: - Fontswitching in UI (Qt3 only) - Interface with Qt3's new font system. There is no charset anymore. - Better fontswitching inside documents. - Smooth-scaled core X fonts. This will keep the X server from scaling the fonts (which would produce an ugly result). This is a big improvement for Oriental writing systems. Requires RENDER extension on both X server and client - Various core bugfixes Java: - Opera will now use java directly. Not through a plug-in. - Added information about Java presence in Help|Opera - Added "Enable Java" on F12 menu - Added Java section in preference dialog (Multimedia page) - Window | Special | Java Console should now work. Plugins: - Banned (hardcoded) libnullplugin.so Causes async dns blocking on Mandrake 8.2 - "Plugins to Ignore" pref setting is now activated. The ignore file name is by default "pluginignore.ini". Opera will first look in the local ~/.opera directory next in the shared directory. The file name can be set in opera6.ini [Adv User Prefs] Plugin Ignore File=path-to-ignore-file The ignore file format is: Opera Preferences version 2.0 ; Do not edit this file while Opera is running [Plugins to Ignore] full-path-to-plugin.so = comment - Plug-in protection. We will now know if a plug-in crashed Opera during plug-in detection and give the user the choice not to detect plug-ins when opera is restarted. - Added testing for invalid netscape proxy plug-in (libnpp) when starting Motif based plug-ins. The libnpp.so uses Qt and will crash Opera if it does no use the same major version of Qt as Opera. - Added a new add-plugin dialog that will make it simpler to accept new plugins. All new plugins are placed in a list instead of in separate dialog boxes. - Added a monitor that runs as a separate programs which will kill hanging motifwrappers on exit. Images - Png gamma fix. Use 0.5 instead of 0.45 (default value) for png images that do not contain gamma info in the file. Copy/Paste - Opera is now better interfaced with Gtk and KDE3. KDE2 and Qt2 based applications may be a problem. - Some Copy/Paste fixes. Allows better intergation with existing programs. Skinning: - Improved skin handling. Less memory, more skinning and better alignment. - Skin support in all popup menus (except for spinbox and fileselector popup menus). - Skin support in dialogs. Can be disabled by a setting in opera6.ini Skin In Dialogs=0(x)|1 0: Show foreground skin in dialogs 1: Do not show foreground skin in dialogs Example: [User Prefs] Skin In Dialogs=1 - Made the skin path parser handle paths with '\'separators. Some button files contain path\to\skinfile instead of path/to/skinfile. - Added a guard against using too large skins in the Qt 2x based version. It will not handle it (the X-server can crash). The limit is configurable. in opera6.ini Example: [User Prefs] ;Allows 200x200 images, default is 22500 (150x150) Skin Area Limit=40000 - Proper skinning of non-active banner area (in SDI mode). - Added a SkinInstaller class that can install the skin on Qt dialogs where we have no access to the dialog pointer from the Qt API. - Skin fixes (ie apply skin) for splitter between hotlist and pages. Bookmarks: - Do not clear bookmark menu if the menu is open when a bookmark change has occurred (could happen when a pixmap should be updated) - "Add bookmark" dialog now supports selectable destination folder (see http://people.opera.com/espen/images/addbookmark.png) - Bookmark Parser speedup. The loading time has been reduced with approx. 15% - Delayed bookmark search in hotlist in order to catch more string changes in one pass. Feels faster. - Add-bookmark dialog size is now saved and restored. - The Modify-bookmark dialog size is now saved and restored. - Support for rightclick popup menu inside bookmark popup menu. One can open the bookmark, in a new window, open in background, edit it and copy/cut/paste/delete a bookmark or folder from the menu. (see http://people.opera.com/espen/images/bookmarkpopupmenu.png) Shortcuts/mouse: - Fixed a bug that caused a duplicate shortcut not to be removed from the list in keyboard shortcut dialog. - Help->OperaOnTheWeb was not activated properly. - Ctrl+Space now toggles selected entries in the boomark and contact views again. - Pressing Ctrl+Alt+B or Ctrl+Alt+C will now activate the hotlist window if it is floating. - Let Ctrl+Shift+Enter in the "go to" dialog box open the page in the background. - Support for displaying search results in a new window or in the background (Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift+Enter) when searching from the search entry on the address toolbar. - Some fixes wrt to the use of the SuperKey flag. Qt3x supports this key in the keyevent flags so we can simplify the code someplaces. - "Shortcut definition file" ("User prefs") had a spelling issue. The new string is "Shortcut definition file", but the old will be supported until 7.0 - Support for half-page-scrolling. Since we have configurable shortcuts this was very simple since I do not have to decide what shortcuts that should be assigned to this feature. - Support for panning mode (scroll up/down by just moving the mouse) or Anchored mouse scrolling. At the moment it is a activated by Ctrl+MidClick but it can be activated with the MidClick alone using a new pref setting: Extended Center Mousebutton Action=0,1(x) 0=Activate panning (scrolling by moving the mouse) 1=Paste text from clipboard Example: [User Prefs] Extended Center Mousebutton Action=0 - Pasting text with the center mouse button into the url address fields can now configured to clear the current text first. Either by pressing the control button or by this pref setting: Append Text On Center Mousebutton Click=0|1(x) 0: Clear current text before pasting text into url address fields 1: Append the pasted text Example: [User Prefs] Append Text On Center Mousebutton Click=0 - Window navigation (with '1'/'2' or Ctrl+Left/Ctrl+Right will no longer be blocked by a minimized window. - Allow pasting a bookmark into an empty folder with the keyboard. - Ctrl+W (in UNIX shortcut mode) will now also delete a single character word in the front of a string. - Ctrl+Space will now toggle selection of listbox elements in the document when keyboard focus in on the listbox. - Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right will now be used for cursor movement inside the address entry field when it has focus restoring pre 6.02 behavior. - Pressing F9 should move focus to the document window area even if the document is empty. - Give focus to the addressbar when activating history dropdown by pressing 'h' in the document window. - The Menu button on the keyboard will now activate context menus. - Page scrolling with mouse wheel now works in the main window when the mouse cursor is located over the ad window. - Fixed some shortcut problems in the transfer window and a lost focus problem when the transfer window was closed. - Added Undo and Redo actions to Edit menu + and shortcuts in the lineedit popup menus. Startup: - Made it possible to open a file in the current directory on startup without specifying the full path. - Modified the parsing of "-remote" commandline commands so that (example) "opera -remote openURL(javascript:window.open(),new-window) will work. The parser could not cope with the internal bracket () set. - Fixed a problem that made it impossible to detect a running instance of Opera in certain windowmanagers. Enlightment and Blackbox are two window managers that caused this problem. - Starting Opera with the "-nowin" flag will now bypass the startup dialog. - Support for opening a page in background from the commandline Do a "opera -help" for more information. Transfer window: - Ensure that a list entry added to the transferwindow is made visible if the list is taller than the transfer window. - Ensure transfer history is deleted even when transfer window has not been opened. Cookies: - Support for editing cookie contents (name, value, created and last visited time) This will only be possible in the Qt3 based version. - After the cookiedialog box had been shown once it was possible to add certain cookies without updating the list in the dialog box. - Some more layout fixes in the cookie dialog boxes in the Qt3 version. The multiline edit layout behavior has changed. - Added pref. settings so that the size of the cookie editor dialog and the bookmark search dialog box can be saved/restored. - Identified and fixed some nasty serverfilter problems (when saving) in the cookie manager code. This could cause that serverfilters were lost if they used certain settings. - Support for the default state (third state) in the server filter list of the cookie filter in the pref box. Privacy: - Clear opera.win and autopera.win when deleting private data. Print Preview: - Do not allow to open links with midbutton when in print preview mode. - Print preview icon is now "pushed in" in preview mode. - Leave print preview before navigating in window history. - Open the result in a new window or page when activating a network search from the search context menu when in Print Preview mode. search.ini - Support for configurable (read from search.ini) translations, dictionary, encyclopedia and currency search engines. - Added "English -> Japanese" and "Japanese -> English" to web translation list. - Encyclopedia and dictionary search types now support POST urls - Prevent that three windows are opened when there is no active document window when we start a super search from the go-to (F2) dialog box. - Internet searches will now accept search keys that are longer than one character. UI and general issues: - "Compact Toolbars = 1" is now the default pref setting. This will save space in various toolbars. - Made the search engine interface a little bit more flexible wrt encodings - Activate next/prev page failed in SDI mode when page was opened in background. - Check that separators are not present at end of menus (menus can be configured to turn off entries). - Support for panning (scroll page without using scrollbar) Activated by clicking the center mouse button on the page - Center mouse button action (panning or paste text) is now configured by clicking Ctrl+MidButton on the page. - "Link in frame" dialog 1) Support for opening multiple links at the same time 2) Improved removal of duplicate links (a bugfix) 3) Popupmenu will use current fg skin (Qt3) - Bookmark search dialog 1) Popupmenu will use current fg skin (Qt3) - Hide searchbar when popup windows are opened (in SDI mode). - Moved code into printer dialog (from Print Options dialog). - "Add panel" will now work even when hotlist area is floating. - Changed help path in print dialog. - Open a new window if there are only minimized windows when we open a page from the hotlist or the personal toolbar. - For some reason the "High", "Medium", "Low" and "None" strings of the security button were left out of 6.02 They have been activated again. - Under certain circumstances it was possible to activate a window without activating the corresponding window toolbar button. - Added support for removing an entry in the "opera.dir" history list when a manually entered url could not be resolved. - Added a guard against making it possible to open a docked hotlist window with a width less than 10 pixels. Too many users have reported missing hotlist problems because of this. - Do not write download.dat unless the download data has changed. This causes unwanted disk activity on battery powered devices. - Support for disabling special (heart) icons on personal toolbar by setting a flag in opera6.ini Normal Icons On Personal Bar=0|1(x) 0: Show special icons on the personal bar (if supported in button.ini) 1: Use same icons as in bookmark menu and hotlist area. Example: [User Prefs] Normal Icons On Personal Bar=0 - The icon of a minimized window will now always be lowered under the active window when in fullscreen. - A stylechange will now trigger the handshape icon to be updated whereever is is used. The shape is different in windows and motif based styles. - Fixed a broken time string display (for some locales) when receiving cookies. - Fixed a problem that made it impossible to list more than 2048 files in a directory. - Do not give focus to a window when it is reloaded if it is not the active window (can happen when reloaded from the "Window list" dialog box). - Support for trusted external URL protocols. We do not have a registry so the list of trusted applications must be stored in prefs (opera6.ini) like this: [Trusted Applications] Assign applications for protocols that are not handled by Opera irc=path-to-irc-client someprotocol=path-to-someprotocol-handler ... [User Prefs] TrustedExternalURLProtocols=irc,someprotocol,... - Added some new debug options -debugdns Show async dns progress (see below) -debugjava Show java setup progress -debugfont Show fontswitching progress - Added logging support for async. dns lookup. Some users report problems (asyndns does not work) so now we have a test tool. The logging is activated on startup with the command line argument "-debugdns" - The subject and body contents of a created mailto url is now encoded according to spec (some mailer wants a raw mailto url) - Some search-failure dialog fixes. Changed icon usage and improved focus restoration when the dialog close. - Let the address toolbar resize itself properly depending on the font size (height) - Some minor string fixes in the mailto link context menu in order to sync with the windows version. - Fixed a hotclick menu problem. If text was highlighted by a double/triple mouse click then the copy menu would not be shown if the mouse was outside the selected area. - Removed "Print Options" from file menu. The code is now inside the print dialog. - Added a "My style" on the mailbar popup menu. It lets the user configure the buttons on the toolbar (very simplistic approach) - Fixed a focus problem in the "Go to" dialog box. Sawfish and probably other window managers as well could loose keyboard focus when the autocompletion dropdown menu was closed. - Let multiline tooltips in the document stay visible longer (proportional to the number of lines) and try to break at spaces between works. - Display localized time strings in hotlist and bookmark property dialog boxes. - Sort translated versions of the "Internations fonts" dropdown string list. - Let the searchengine dropdown list always be at least as wide as required to show the widest string in the list. - Fixed problem that caused filename with spaces to use %20 when saved. - Links In Frame dialog could crash Opera if activated before document was created. Some selection changes in that dialog as well. Added a "Name" checkbox so that we can display the urls only in the dialog. - The workspace mdi button decoration is now updated directly when changed in the preference dialog. No restart required. The window context menus now also contain a decoration submenu. - The currency dialog will now show the value that is about to be converted. The value can be modified. - The operarc and operarc.fixed will now be read from /usr/local/etc on the FreeBSD version. - "My Layout" support in "View | Main bar" - Fixed a problem that caused urls with a password to be scrambled before the page was opened with the url string. This happened only when pressing Enter in the Go-to (F2) dialog box. - Save windows when Opera is closed from the window manager. Fixes This bug was only a problem when using "Show saved windows setup" Kioskmode: - Kioskmode is now supported. Some functions are only available in the registered version.
