Opera 9.0 Preview 1 Is Available

Opera
Good news. Opera has released preview of version 9.0. I’ve already downloaded and installed it on my work computer. The first impression: new Opera is much faster! It took about 2 minutes to load Opera 8.5 with 10 – 12 open tabs. Opera 9.0 loads during 5 seconds.

Some of the new features include:
– support for XSLT, Canvas 2D, and Web Forms 2.0
– rich-text editing on Web pages
– site-specific preferences
– a new IMAP back-end
– access to Opera’s preferences via opera:config

Opera 9.0 Preview 1 for Linux can be downloaded here, for Windows – here, for Mac – here.

Updated: I found a small bug in Linux version. The file browser doesn’t remember directory from where a file was pickuped last time. It opens always home directory. Anyway the speed of browser is amazing!
