Opera 6 beta 2 released
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
November 5th 2002
The browser with the inside track to standards compliance gets a speed bump, new
features
Opera Software has unveiled a speed-enhanced Opera 6 for Mac in the form of its beta
2. With shared library support, which offers Mac developers the ability to use Opera's
superior rendering engine in their products, Opera 6 is compatible with OS 8.6 through
X.2. Beta 2 has undergone speed-enhancements, as well as a series of other fixes
related to the cookie manager, quick preferences, keychain in forms and link bar.
"We have been working hard to make sure that this version lives up to Opera's
reputation as the best Internet experience," said Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, "And, we
are hoping to see extensive feedback from all our Mac users out there to let us know
how we can improve it even further."
Opera 6.0 is the first Opera desktop browser that offers the Opera core as shared
library. Inclusion of shared library support provides Mac application developers with
the ability to make use of Opera's superior rendering engine in their products.
The shared library was co-developed with Macromedia and the result of an agreement to
embed the Opera browser in Macromedia's Web authoring products from July 2, 2002. In
the future, Web developers using Macromedia's tools on the Macintosh will be able to
preview the pages they have created using Opera's rendering engine. Other interested
developers can contact Opera to use the shared library in their applications and
preview HTML pages in a real functioning browser.
Reduced pricing
Users can register Opera at a campaign price of $29 (10 bucks off the regular price)
and receive a free upgrade to version 7 (when it becomes available), access to
personal support via e-mail and free OperaMail Premium for 6 months (available from
the time Opera 7 is downloaded).
Details about the Opera and Macromedia can be found
here. You can download Opera beta 2 here.
