Hello Everybody

Wow, it looks like I can inform you of some interesting news before Henrik or Giles do it. ;-)

There’s a post on the “Official blog for Core developers at Opera” that they are supporting Opera in preview builds:

Download Squad says the preview is fast:

Bye for now…

So, after poking around a bit -- it certainly works for simple pages; all of my tutorials work just fine, which is nice.

However, with other pages in the wild things are less good; from last week's "WebGL around the net" post, only the raymarching demos, a couple of the three.js demos, and the SceneJS teapot work. Hard to tell whether the pages or Opera are at fault.

It's worth noting that all of the demos in the WebGL wiki at <http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Demo_Repository> are working, though.

Cheers,

Giles
