Message from Opera Team :
This is the first snapshot after Opera 12 Alpha. A big thank you goes out to everyone who joined us on the far side of software development and installed the Alpha release of Opera 12. Your feedback has been invaluable.When it comes to hardware acceleration, we're currently in a state of code cleanup and optimization, so there will not be many big changes coming in this area in the next weeks. This builds has a couple of very important fixes though, first among them is plugging a big memory leak on Windows.
Anyone running Opera 12 Alpha are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the build linked below.
- Code cleanup and optimizations
- Plugged a huge memory leak on Windows, and a smaller one on Mac
- Several updates to blocklists. Note that many changes are continuously pushed through autoupdate, so you probably have these changes already
- - Blocking use of hardware acceleration on NVIDIA Quadro NVS (bad performance)
- - Blocking use of hardware acceleration on NVIDIA FX/PCX series (buggy driver version detection prevented blocking of the too old driver)
- - Blocking use of 3D hardware acceleration (WebGL) on Intel GMA 3000 (bad performance)
- - Added fallback rule for unknown chipsets on Windows as well, should block things like VMWare
- Fixed ex value parsing on Mac, fixes many odd errors where things go missing on websites like reddit
- Made "Minimal restart" in crashlog UI work again
- Improved flash rendering on Mac
- Fixed crash when closing tabs with "dimmed" dialogs
