We knew it was coming soon and it is finally here: Opera 9.02! The list of changes is actually longer than I thought it was going to be but here are a few good ones to point out:
- Fixed quick find field in Windows panel.
- Fixed high CPU usage while downloading big emails.
- Properties can now be accessed within the contacts and bookmarks panel after deleting items.
- Image attachments can now be saved using the context menu.
- Fix for playing sound clips on Amazon.
- Multiple stability improvements, including a stability issue on my.yahoo.com.
- Improved handling of downloads when the disk is full.
- Improved handling of Web site logins on slow connections.
- Windows: Fix to allow opera to be set as default browser using the prompt at startup.
- Windows: Fix for attaching read-only files in mail.
- Windows: Support for the Windows XP Media Center Edition remote control.
They also fixed a critical security flaw which would allow a forged SSL certificate to be accepted. So if you haven’t upgraded that is even more of a reason to go on over and download the latest version. Keep up the good work Opera!
Opera sounds nice, but I’m a Firefox fan and happy with it so I won’t be making the switch – I know it has some cool features and is rather speedy but until they fix its functionality with Google I’ll stay where I’m comfy.
