Opera 10.60

Tien dagen na Opera 10.54 heeft de Noorse softwareproducent versie 10.60 van zijn browser uitgebracht. In Opera 10.60 is een vrachtlading aan veranderingen doorgevoerd. Grootste wijziging is dat de langverwachte Presto rendering engine nu eindelijk is geïmplementeerd. Hierdoor beschikt Opera over nieuwe HTML5-mogelijkheden als Geolocatie, Offline webapplicaties, Web Workers en de WebM video-codec van Google.

Door het optimaliseren van de JavaScript engine is Opera 10.60 maar liefst 50% sneller dan Opera 10.50. Veel onafhankelijke tests van de proefversies van Opera 10.60 lijken bovendien tot dezelfde conclusie te komen: Opera is op bepaalde onderdelen weer de snelste browser die er is.

Ook zijn twee beveiligingslekken gedicht in Opera 10.60. Een is gemiddeld en een is minder ernstig. Ten slotte zijn heel veel kleine foutjes opgelost in deze versie van de Noorse browser. Lees hieronder over alle wijzigingen.

Opera 10.60 is uitgebracht voor Windows, Mac OS X en eindelijk ook voor Linux (dat het lang moest doen met versie 10.10).

Release notes:

New features

Opera Presto 2.6 rendering engine

  • Opera 10.60 final contains the Opera Presto 2.6 rendering engine, which improves stability and adds support for the following new Opera features.

Geolocation services

  • User-enabled geolocation services are provided through Google Location Services (GLS).
  • IP address and WiFi recognition are implemented.
    • IP address recognition works with GLS by recognizing your IP address and telling you the cordinates based on it.
    • WiFi recognition works with GLS by gathering and then sending a list of all nearby wireless networks including MAC (Media Access Control) address, SSID (Service set identifier) name, and signal strength, which returns your coordinates.
  • An address bar map pin icon indicates a Web page is accessing the Geolocation API.
  • Opera geolocation services support the W3C Geolocation API Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR...).
  • See this Opera demo (http://html5demos.co...).

Offline Web Applications

Web Workers

  • Web Workers (http://www.w3.org/TR...) is an API for running scripts in the background independently of any user interface scripts. This allows for long-running scripts that are not interrupted by scripts that respond to clicks or other user interactions, and allows long tasks to be executed without yielding to keep the page responsive.
  • See this Opera demo (http://html5demos.co...).
