Opera 8.0 Preview 5 for Windows available[iMAP PREVIEW]

Opera 8.0 Preview 5 for Windows is available for download. As usual, discuss the new version in opera.beta and in the my.opera.com Beta Testing forum. Please do not distribute the download link directly, but link to the post in opera.beta or in the my.opera.com Beta Testing forum.

Today, we're happy to present to our users the culmination of a year's work: the first preview featuring our rewritten IMAP back-end. Please note that this preview is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. Under no circumstances should you use this preview with anything other than a test IMAP account. You should expect to experience data loss and other situations that could lead to the loss of valuable information. Furthermore, you cannot install this build over a previous installation and revert back or install a build with the old IMAP back-end over this build. This can cause serious corruption in the local storage and indexing of messages.

We're releasing this now because we've reached the point in development where we need to test in a wider range of environments. There are still many issues we need to solve, but it's important to know if there are any design flaws. We have not yet decided if the new IMAP back-end will be included in Opera 8.0. Your feedback is essential in the decision-making process. We'll be maintaining a list of severe known issues, to prevent duplicate bug reports.

Enabling log files is imperative for us to debug problems. See http://www.opera.com/support/search...h.dml?index=710 for details about enabling logging. Beware that log files can get very large very quickly.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
