Opera 12.10 Changelog

Release date: 2012-11-06

Opera 12.10 is a recommended upgrade offering new and improved features, plus security and stability enhancements.
New Features and Important Notes
Operating system compatibility: Windows 8 and Mac OSX
We have added basic touch support for Opera in Windows 8 Classic, so you will be able to scroll, zoom and browse pages and elements easily. As an extra bonus, touch support also works on Windows 7.
Meanwhile, our Mac users will enjoy using the new capabilities of OSX Mountain Lion with Opera. You are now able to use Mountain Lion's built-in share function, using the new Share button in Opera’s address bar, as well as seeing Opera notifications in the Notifications Center.
Extensions, improved
Several new and improved APIs are included in this version of Opera including:
API for URL filtering
Context Menu API
Screenshots API
Resource Loader API
High-resolution Display Support
Improved support for all high-resolution displays, including Apple's new Retina Displays is included in this release.
Web Specifications Support
Opera 12.10 will include changes in the Opera Presto 2.12 engine up to core-integration-point 388.
SPDY
Support for the SPDY ("Speedy") network standard is included in Opera 12.10. SPDY was designed to cut down the time it takes for a webpage to load, while reducing some of the security risks posed by HTTP.
CSS3 Gradients, Transitions, Animations, and Transforms
All members of these specifications are now available without the -o- prefix and have been updated to the latest published versions.
CSS Site Compatibility
To improve site compatibility and interoperability, Opera 12.10 also introduces aliasing for a selection of vendor-prefixed CSS properties.
See our blog post to find out more about which prefixed and unprefixed CSS properties are supported
Fullscreen API
Fullscreen API support has been implemented and fully supports Draft 7 of the Fullscreen API specification
Page Visibility API
Basic support for the Page Visibility API specification has been added, including support for visible and hidden
WebSockets
Support for WebSockets has been updated in Opera 12.10 and is now enabled by default.
ICC Profiles
International Color Consortium profile support has been added, ensuring images look as the author intended

Maybe I should make a new thread for every release of Chrome.

Hi Elevon. You beat me to it. This time!

Maybe I should make a new thread for every release of Chrome.

But then you'd be making a new thread every day of the week.

I think Opera has something like 1-2% of the world's Internet traffic and, as such, is probably the most elite browser out there so us Opera fans deserve our own update threads!

It always bemuses me when following the Opera desktop teams posts just how quickly they advance from a beta to a RC to a final release.! The whole RC to final can take only a few days, and that is if there is a weekend in-between.
RC 1 was released Thursday and RC 4 on Monday and then the final five minutes later.!

It seems to be the same on each release cycle.

do you really need to make a thread about this?
