Het Opera Desktop-team heeft afgelopen week een nieuwe versie van Opera 10.50 uitgebracht met buildnummer 3298 voor Linux, Mac OS X en Windows. Versie 10.50 bevat onder andere een nieuwere versie van Carakan, de javascript-engine die onderdeel uitmaakt van versie 2.5 van de layout engine Presto. Deze versie van Carakan zou een stuk sneller dan zijn voorgangers moeten zijn. Men heeft onder andere de Mac OS X-uitgave goed aangepakt zoals in de onderstaande aankondiging na te lezen is:
