The Opera Beta version 10.50 for Mac has been released to the public. This comes on the tail of a recent release for Windows, and shows a more aggressive move into the Mac OS by Opera.
Some of the new features include: minimalist design interface, fastest JavaScript engine currently on the market (claimed Opera and published by CNET), new search field, new Opera widgets, better standards compliance including HTML 5 and CSS 3, a "smart" address field, better graphics rendering, and private browsing.
Updates to Opera for version 10.50:
- Cocoa support
- Unified tool bar
- Growl notifications
- Multi-touch gestures
- Happy Easter! Well almost, but multi-touch users should look out for the egg
- 10.4 (Tiger) support returns
- Widgets fixed and panel enabled
- Fixed Bug DSK-282851 (Slow typing)
- Fixed Bug DSK-276782 (Hangs on NYT and Reuters and other sites): Page Freezing Bug
