Scripting engines just got a whole lot faster »

Kestrel has landed!

Opera 9.50 is out! This version is a very notable improvement on Merlin (Opera 9.0 – 9.27), and includes a large set of new or updated features such as full text history search, bookmark synchronisation (along with some other user data), the option to have tab cycling work like it does in Firefox through setting a preference, a redesigned interface, the already mentioned Dragonfly debugging tools, the Futhark scripting engine (Yay!), support for Mozilla JavaScript 1.5 getters and setters; and lots, lots more in the areas of accessibility, security, CSS, DOM, HTML, XML, SVG, MathML etc.

Download Opera 9.50 and read the Opera 9.50 change logs. An article about the changes directed more at web developers can be found at Dev.Opera: Opera 9.5 – the next generation of web standards.
