Software-update: Opera 7.20 Beta 4

De volgende tekst werd door Verwijderd ingestuurd: "Alweer beta 4 van Opera 7.20 en dat is best opmerkelijk, omdat in het verleden er meestal slechts twee of drie publieke beta's verschenen voordat de final release uitkwam. Beta 4 bevat ten opzichte van de voorgaande testversie een hoop fixes en op enkele terreinen ook nieuwe features. Hopelijk is ook het probleem verholpen dat ervoor zorgde dat Tweakers.net vrijwel compleet onbruikbaar was in beta 3 ."

De makers van Opera 7.20 beta 4 hebben deze release uitgebracht voor zowel het Windows- als het Linux x86/FreeBSD-platform. De release notes van beide versies zien er als volgt uit:

Changelog Opera 7.20 beta 4 for x86 Linux and FreeBSD

• Document and display
  • A number of bugfixes and general stabilization work
  • Support for action="mailto:..." in form elements
  • Smarter redraw during page loading
  • Detect and report network errors
• Fonts:
  • More verbose logging in Xft library loaders (-debugfont option)
• Color management:
  • Repaired support for truecolor visual on Solaris
• Java:
  • Improved -debugjava output
  • Some applets do not quite follow the strict demands of modern Java VMs. Many of these should work now.
• Plug-ins:
  • Workaround for a problem where going to a page with flash causes opera to hang for ~20 seconds.
• Mouse and keyboard:
  • Support for "Copy", "Paste" and "Cut" keys on Sun keyboards. Use unix_keyboard.ini to activate.
  • Fixed a drag and drop problem that occurred when the drop action opened a dialog window. The dialog window would prevent a proper drop.
• Windows/Pages/Toolbars/Menus:
  • Added a "Clear" button that can be used to clear the address entry field by clicking on it. It is not on by default
  • use the "Customize toolbar" dialog box to activate it.
  • Fixed a crash problem that took place when showing the background image menu when there was no document in the window.

  • Open a message box asking about entering online mode if checking mail in offline mode
  • Made the page cycler popup window work when activated with mouse button and wheel.
  • Fixed a file dialog problem. We could get a warning dialog box from Qt when the default filename contained a ':'

• Sessions:
  • Added improved testing when saving window session file so that it can not happen while opera is exiting. There was a chance the save action would happen after all windows had closed.
  • Added hooks for session manager menssages
• Kioskmanger:
  • We are close to full kiosk manager support again
• Misc:
  • Support for restoring menu-bar visibility when returning from fullscreen

  • Replaced by the address (server) %p (port)
  • Replaced by the port %u (user name)
