Opera 9.50 Released

Posted on by

Firefox wasn’t the only browser to see a major update last week. Opera actually released a new version of few days prior to the Fx 3 release.

While I’ve not been able to give O9.5 much of a run yet, I will say that I’m digging the new default theme. Very cool! For details on what exactly is new with Opera 9.5, I’ll point you over to Opera Watch for all of the details.

Opera Watch also pointed out that as of June 17th (5 days after Opera 9.5 was released), over 5 Million people had downloaded the new version of the broswer. Sweet!

Unofficial: Opera 9.5 Beta 1 Available

Opera 9.50 Beta 1 isn’t scheduled to be officially released until tomorrow, however it’s made an early appearance on Opera’s public FTP.

Before I post the links, a little word of warning to anyone that grabs the file early. It’s not been officially released until you see something on the Opera Desktop Team Blog or the actual Opera.com website. There have been a few occurrences in the past where a file on the FTP had to be pulled or replace due to some kind of issue.

The above links are to the FTP site, and not the actual file. Remember, this is unofficial still and even then it is BETA software. The official release will be tomorrow.

Opera: New Build | 9.5 Beta Coming Next Week

Posted on by

Opera Watch and the The Opera Desktop Team Blog have posted an announcements that we’ll see Opera 9.5 Beta next Thursday (10/25/2007). They also plan on celebrating the release at the Rock Opera Party in San Fransisco. Looks like it’ll be a pretty cool event, to bad it’s all the way across the country. I’ll drink a beer as I download Opera 9.5 Beta to join in the celebration from afar. ;)

There will be more at the event than just live music, an open bar, and Opera 9.5 Beta. According to an earlier post on Opera Watch, Opera Software will also be launching a new product. I’m really curious as to what this will be. ll have to admit, I’m a bit behind in all things Opera related. Yes, that’s sad considering I’m a self proclaimed Opera Browser fan boy. I need to do some catch up.

As a warm up, the Opera Desktop Team has released a new snapshot build. Keep in mind, snapshot builds contain known bugs and may crash. Use at your own risk. – Though to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever had a major issue with an Opera alpha, beta, or snapshot build.
