Opera 11.10 beta 1 - the first fish

In the slang of musicians (and many other professions) “fish” is just a sketch of some future masterpiece or at least a work worthy of the attention of the listeners. Today we are also releasing “fish” - the new version of Opera has the code name “Barracuda”, and is also just a test beta version. However, our fish is quite stable afloat and is suitable for quite active swimming in the stormy ocean of the Internet. Fish, though with a rich history, but still sharp teeth and the ability to devour many unwary neighbors.

What you have just read is a kind of allegory, a kind of beautiful artistic sketch for creative, dreamy people. Romantics, in general. Readers with a materialistic outlook on life can translate all of the above for themselves approximately as follows: Opera has released another beta with a set of “built-in” bugs that need to be identified and fixed as possible to a future final release. In principle - so, but not quite. In addition to quite understandable bugs (who works without them?), There is a new version and something interesting, worthy of study and, as it has become a tradition, copying others. I will give only a short list:

- New "endless" Express panel, which received new customization options;
- New plugin loading system;
- An even faster core and JavaScript handler, support for new web standards;

Well, that's enough for now. In fact, there are much more innovations - I leave it to you to discover and evaluate them yourself.
