Opera has recently released an pre-alpha of it’s upcoming 10.5 release. The upcoming version feature a new JaveScript engine which increased performance by 7 times.
OS integration is being greatly improved as well. OS X improvements include a complete rewrite in cocoa which means a unified toolbar, native buttons, scrollbar, and multi-touch gestures as well as Growl integration.
- Opera’s core rendering engine has also been updated in 10.5 this upcoming version utilizes Presto 2.5 which features the most complete CSS 2.1 implementation (it even supports
visibility: collapsewhich was missing until now), it also has the latest support for many of the new CSS3 and HTML5 properties.
- Opera 10.5 also includes a new graphics library, Vega, which can be hardware accelerated for even faster page rendering. Vega was specially designed just for Opera and supports all platforms, phones to TVs and desktop computers alike.
What you’re downloading today is a feature-incomplete and likely unstable development build. Please handle with care! You can learn more about Vega and everything else that is new in Opera 10.5 by visiting the Opera blog.
