Seems Opera V11.11 has been uploaded to the FTP Server - ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/win/

New version of OperaNext is available, you can update via the browser.

Hmm...blue logo, gotta' get used to that!

After several snapshots in the course of the last days, a first beta of Opera 11.50 has become available today.

Wow, how did I miss all of those snapshots I suppose I should start using OperaNext

Yeah I know what you mean!

A new Version of OperaNext is available.

Opera are at it again reinventing the wheel. They have released a new UI tentatively titled Featherweight and upon first glance it's pretty eye catching Though the menu button does look a little familiar.

Highlights
Brand new toolbar icon set
Brighter, softer colors for backgrounds and borders
Padding and alignment improvements
Updated status bar design and content
No more button borders in the address bar
The Home and Fast Forward buttons now optional
New "tab fold" attention state - no more blue blob
New window gradient for OS X

Edit: Another change I can see is the Zoom feature has been made a little more user friendly, you can now re-size with your mouse in 1 click rather than 2.

oh! nice! it's time to try operaNext

Featherweight looks too much like Chrome. Also, lately my Opera install keeps hitting 50% of the CPU. Maybe it's because I have so many tabs open! But I end up having to restart Opera every half hour or so.

Switching to Pale Moon for now.

I'm sure freakazoid they'll have a V11.11 Skin available soon. Plus, I haven't seen a spike in CPU usage on Windows 7, so a little strange why you're getting this. I normally have about 10 tabs open in one session.

There was a new snapshot released this afternoon (yes two on the same day) with bug fixes for those interested in testing.

Swordfish Release Candidate 1 out already!

Maybe it's an extension or a plugin that's causing the problem. My Opera install has around 30-40 tabs open at any given time! (which used around 540 MB RAM)

But I'm really enjoying Pale Moon / Firefox with the BarTab plugin. Memory and CPU usage is really minimal. Right now, I have 20 tabs open, but because BarTab unloads tabs that aren't in use (so in reality I only have 4 tabs open), my RAM is running at a healthy 160 MB right now.

I just noticed a nice little addition to the Opera UI, if a website is set to reload every XX amount of minutes (see in the rightclick menu) then if a change has occurred on the site then the tab will have a little corner folded.

RC2 11.50.1068 came out yesterday. The current version is RC3 11.50.1071. It seems that the final is going to be released within a few days.
