Read all about the new features at the Opera Mobile blog.

One important change I'd like to point out is that zooming in have changed from a single to double click. Instead you can now interact with the page directly in overview mode.

The big news for Maemo is that we now have support for the native on screen keyboard. It is implemented by overlaying Gtk textbox widgets, this means that also the hardware keyboard will work exactly as in other applications.

You can change back to the old input system in the settings, select Advanced, Opera keyboard. The default is to still use the old system for the address bar since the built in Opera keyboard doesn't overlap the auto-complete list.

More from the changelog:
  • New option to use Droid fonts (requires ttf-droid package).
  • Add detailed geolocation settings.
  • Turn off GPS on inactivity.
  • Handle symbolic links to directories in the file chooser.

As always, this version is in perpetual beta and have not gone though the normal QA process, thus the usual warnings and disclaimers apply. We also have a long standing known issue, the browser might not start properly and just show a black window. We've never been able to pinpoint or replicate this problem so it may still be there.


Best regards,
The Smooth Sailing Team @ Opera
