Opera Presto 2.10 rendering engine

Opera Mail
The user interface for Opera Mail has been redesigned.
- Two-lined message list: Opera Mail will now default to "list on the left, message on the right", with the newest message on top, and always showing message threads.
- Mail grouping: Opera will automatically group messages by date. You can also group them by unread status, by pinned status, or not at all.
- Cleaned up look: The mail toolbars are simplified, and icons have been redesigned.
- New settings dialogs: The "View" dropdown menu with all its sub-menus has been replaced by an overlay dialog that can be reached by clicking the "wrench" button.
- Pinning: You can now "pin" messages with one click in the message list or in the message headers, to mark a message for attention. This pinning is mapped to the IMAP \Flagged feature, so it corresponds to "starring" and "flagging" in other IMAP clients, and with Gmail's starred messages.

Featherweight address field with star menu
The star menu in the address field allows you to quickly bookmark a page or
to create a Speed Dial entry.

HTML5 Parser
- Implemented the HTML5 parsing algorithm
