Opera 11.60 for Windows changelog

Release notes

Release date: 2011-12-06

Opera 11.60 is a recommended upgrade offering new and improved features, plus security and stability enhancements. For your reference, please see the previous Opera 11.60 beta changelog on the Opera changelogs website.

New and improved features

Code name

• Opera 11.60 uses "Tunny" as its code name.

Opera Presto 2.10 rendering engine

• Opera 11.60 uses the Opera Presto 2.10 rendering engine (Presto/2.10.229).

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 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• New settings dialogs: The "View" dropdown menu with all its sub-menus has been replaced by an overlay dialog that can be reached by clicking the "wrench" button.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.
• See: Mail goes two-lined and grouped

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.

Web specifications support

Opera 11.60 incorporates web specifications added up to and including Opera Presto 2.10 core-integration-point 229. For further reference please see:
