Opera 9.6 Snapshot: Birthday Edition


We're making steady progress on Opera 9.6, fixing several of the issues reported within the last week. Please continue to test and report problems help us improve Opera. Thank you!

PS: Don't forget to wish Jon a Happy Birthday (that's "Gratulerer med dagen" in Norwegian). Five other employees had their birthdays today, too!

WARNING: These are development snapshots: they contain the latest changes, but they also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, they may not work at all.
