Opera 9.0 Beta 1 has been released.

Build 8367 (not 8371) has been released as Opera 9.0 Beta 1. Linux builds are 236, Mac build is 3336.

After a long period of previews (alpha) and weeklies (development snapshots/pre-alpha), Opera 9.0 Beta 1 has been released to the public. This will allow a wider audience to test Opera 9 before it is released as a final version.

You, the members of the community, have been of great help to us, reporting problems and raising issues, and we'd like to thank you all for helping us make Opera 9 even better!

Feedback is welcome in the opera.beta newsgroup, or opera.linux for linux-specific issues.

昨晩の夕方 6 時頃にこのメッセージが配信されていたようだ。あらためて今日になってニュースを読み返している。

  • MsiInstaller の不具合が直後に報告されていた。いきなり opera.exe が見つからないって言われりゃ、それは慌てる。
  • 自分でも画像を保存したが、forum にも投稿した人が居た
  • 2 度目のリペア・インストールをして、こうして Beta1 から書いている。以下に解説があった。

You can't install the same build more than once (unless you use the MSI cleanup utility).

  • So, just to clarify: those of us who have installed build 8371 are more up-to-date the Beta 1 and have no reason to install it? という問いに対する Rijk の言明 at opera.beta

Yes, except to work around the regression in 8371 which caused us to prefer 8367. But the next weekly build will hopefully be released tomorrow.

今晩また出る予定らしい。一般には Beta 1 の使用を勧める。
forum でも書かれていた。

There will be new weekly builds, with a fix for the regression.
