Hi all,

Opera 7.50 preview 4 for Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD is now available.

Download from:
http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/7.50-Preview-4/

Please discuss this release in the opera.linux or opera.os.solaris newsgroups
or opera-linux mail list before submitting bugs to our BTS (Bug Tracking
System).

When you start a thread on opera.linux newsgroup or opera-linux mail list
please do not reply to this message. Instead: Write a subject line that
tells what you want to talk about. That way it is much simpler to keep
track of everything.


=== Major Changes ===

- Continued User Interface Experimentation
In our efforts to improve the user interface, there have been a couple
more changes in this preview. The Personal bar has been reenabled by
default, the Start panel has been replaced by a Search panel, and
maximized panels and manage dialogs have been dropped in favor of
manage pages/windows. There's also a new <q>New page</q> button on the
Page bar that makes it easy to open a new page.

- Improved Opera Mail Resource Usage
Opera Mail (the mail client formerly known as M2) has received lots of
attention this time around. It should use less memory, require less
time to start-up, and clean-up after itself better.

- Optimized Performance
In our on-going effort to be "The fastest browser in the world," this
release should start-up and exit faster. Doing routine user interface
actions like toggling and resizing panels should also be faster.

Then i would recommend you to set the Followup-To header to: opera.linux

Now to two problems i have discovered:

- Frames are not loaded completely at <URL:http://derstandard.at/>
(this site has worked correctly with TP3)

- It is not possible to maximize the panels.
After removing the .opera directory it seems if this is desired
behavior. :-(

mfg s.t.

Maximized panels have been removed. Try the manage pages in
under the Tools menu.

Correct this is desired behavior. Go to "tools" here you can get notes
etc pages.

Still haven't explored everything, but thanks a lot for the "New Page"
button on the top left corner =)

Best,

It is certainly an improvement over the 20031219 release.
I can now turn off all panels (I don't use them) and use
all available space for the webpage itself.
And now this state persists even if I quit & restart opera.
Good work.
