Congrats on the release

Could you add something like %t that would search for given text without encoding it? Would be handy for sites where the search term is in hash.

But is there a way to make a custom search engine "Default"?

big changelog

Thank you for the release

yeeees, thank you.

I'd try this out ... if there was a version for Linux.

Thanks for Opera 17 final release, using it now.

I have enabled rocker gestures in opera:flags and its not working. ;/

You have to enable it in Settings.

Seems to me that Opera is finally in the way to becoming what it really is.

And I will be proud of you, developers, and of using your browser. And also of saying that I use the master piece of software that it will become.

MANY THANKS!

My priorites wishlist:
- Real bookmarks
- A way to import bookmarks and history from other browsers for the time I was been forced to use other browsers.

Not so urgent:
- IRC
- Left Panel
- Customization
- Private tabs
- A less Chrome-like interface with real menus

Never implemented on old Opera, but I would like:
- Scrollable tabs

how about notes will it be back

Ok, now rocker gestures are fine, but i have to:
- enable it in opera:flags
- enable it in settings.
I think it should be enabled by default, like on Opera 12.

Thanks for another great update. It did reset my Speed Dial background to default though, OSX 10.8.5.

Thanks.

I thought you could right click to hide extension icons in this build? I must be mistaken.

As soon they are stabilized, they will be available

That's O18+ feature. Incoming in next soon.

Nope, please use extension for that or external app.

OK, nice, Buuuuuuuut, installed virgin on my wife's Win7 x64 system with conventional 12.16 install, it cannot find and import bookmarks. It offers you the option, but when you go to the page that is supposed to list the bookmarks from 12.16, the list is empty.

I had to resort to xmarks extension to import her bookmarks.

Do you work on Linux builds?

Thank you.

There will be a version of Opera for Linux, but not yet.

Thanks Blazej for official info about the release, and detailed change log.
Many thanks to the whole development team , for their hard work
Congrats for the first stable version, which includes the "Startup Options", and the "Quick Access Bar" for bookmarks.

You're welcome. The QAB is not officially supported yet though, so don't blame me for glitches;)

Which version of Opera 12 did you use, 32 bit, or 64, which was not recommended?

Blazej, Bruce, any chanses to get page dimmed after alert?
Works in Opera 12.50-, for popups in settings, but not for alerts on pages.
Example: https://api.monosnap.com/image/download?id=siD2gaspbzsIFiyz2qSmE0mCo

I want linux build T.T
And I miss dragonfly, I'm stucked with 12.xx for dragonfly,,
Actually I let opmail go, but still miss it too and no linux for opmail T.T

O yeah, I found something weirds opera with extension like ABP/Disconnect if I closed opera wihout close all tab and start with that tab actually those extension doesn't work and need to refresh the page to make it run,,

Sorry my english bad

If you can't use bookmarks (imported by Opera) there is a nice extension for bookmarks (html import)

developer quited working on it when Opera devs announced that they working on bookmark manager, but it's very useful in this stage. Looks nice, works nice... nicer then QAB

Although I had hope, to see the same QAB as it's already implemented in O18, but this one is also fine (as for the first implementation in stable version), and has the "Drag and Drop", so it's just fine, at least for the time being. I knew already, that this is not yet completly implemented, and also, as you maybe already noticed, I'm patient and very understanding person

Opera stable crashed twice for me

Google Maps doesn't load when I'm signed into my Google account. Anyone else experiencing this?

AdBlock doesn't work.

Win8 x64

Thanks for this new stable release

Custom search engine still need some polish:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1767182

Thanks..for you hard work.

My stand-alone installation does not update automatically.

Version: 16.0.1196.80
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

/g..

Very happy with the return of the custom search engines!

Thanks!

Opera updates are the best updates to have as you really expect something special to arrive at the right time

I have a question in regards to Pinned Tabs. Is it possible to retain pinned tabs after Opera restart in the similar way as it could easily be done in Opera 12?

I guess Session Manager is no longer available, but is it possible to save a pinned tab in Opera Startup > Open a specific page or set of pages?

I think many Opera users are missing this feature as much as I do

I've been an Opera user for over 5 years, but if I don't get an update for Linux soon I will be forced to move on...

You're not missing anything. Opera Next is not nearly as good as Opera 11.64 yet. Just use an older version — whichever one you prefer — until at least the end of this year.

very very bad, no REAL bookmarks only useless substitute

besides, new release still slaughters my SSD drive, when you do something with that

BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS and save SSD !

remains with 12

Thanks!

I just noticed one thing... Opera 17 presents a little lag when closing tabs that Opera 16 didn't have.

still can't set a non-standard search engine as default

I have still problem using Turbo. Does anyone confirm this problem with Turbo is enabled?

www.twiter.com is working.
my.opera.com or operaturkiye.net is not working.

Originally posted by Pesala:

I see, that helped; but still prefer Session Manager because no matter where you left of, Opera will always open a specific number of pinned and unpinned tabs every single time.

Big advantage to what we have now

If I am not wrong, changelog incluedes 596 change or more
"Oh My God"

Once you get all the features I need I will come back to Opera. I hate chrome but right now it is the only thing I can tolerate. When you get bookmarks that can be sorted like I have been able to do for years and I have more settings and per-site proxy settings etc I will come back. Until then all this is pointless.

My computer crashed completely 3 times when I was watching this vídeo and many others fom this site(the leading TV network in Brazil):
http://globotv.globo.com/rede-globo/bom-dia-rio/t/edicoes/v/conduta-de-policiais-em-abordagens-sera-revista-apos-morte-de-pm-na-cidade-de-deus/2873814/
The screen froze and I had to close and restart the Windows Explorer through the Task Manager. A message of low level memory appearead and I needed to close Opera 17. Please, check out this issue. I have some extensions but I'm not sure if it is related. Maybe it's an issue/problem just on my PC.
One suggestion : develop (as in Firefox=Menu/Help/Start with extensions deactivated ) a way to start Opera with all extensions disabled. It's very annoying (for test purpose) disable all extensions one by one every time that Opera crash or whatever. If someone has 15 or more extensions, for example...
Win 7 (x64) - Opera 17 "STABLE"/fresh instalation...

Hoping OperaLink is switched on when Opera 18 moves to the Next channel.

Sort them in something else, and then add them in the right place in future. Really I would imagine bookmark sorting is pretty low on the list.
