Opera 10.5 Internal Build Leaked

The big changes in Opera 10.5 (codenamed Evenes) are:
1. Updated skin: Opera has received another facelift. The tab bar has been merged with the titlebar – similar to what we are accustomed to seeing in Google Chrome.

2. Better Windows 7 Integration: Evenes takes advantage of Windows 7 features like jumplists and taskbar thumbnails. The jumplist displays a list of your speed dial entries while taskbar thumbnails allow quick switching between tabs.
3. Private Browsing: Private browsing has become a standard feature in modern browsers and with Evenes Opera has finally caught up. Unlike in other browsers, you don’t need to open a separate window to enter private browsing mode. Opera supports per-tab private browsing. Whenever you open a private tab, Opera will not keep a record of pages opened in that tab.
4. Improved UI: There are UI enhancements all around. Interfering dialogue boxes have been done away with where ever possible e.g. the wand (password manager) and the find (in page search) dialogue boxes have been now integrated into the UI. Find has also been beautified. It now dims the rest of the page while highlighting your query. This is similar to how Safari’s search feature works.

5. Updated Rendering Engine: Evenes ships with a newer rendering engine (Presto 2.5.18) which is expected to improve Opera’s rendering speed. However, the long anticipated Carakan (Opera’s new JavaScript rendering engine) is still missing.

Opera's Response

Thank you..

Let me try this out..

I think the response of Team Opera is worth a mention :

While everyone is off for Christmas vacation, the desktop team is working hard on preparing a nice holiday gift for Opera users. On December 22nd we will release a 10.5 pre-alpha. We'll keep it a surprise for now, but the keyword is: speed.

Edit: There are some reports about an old internal build of 10.5 being available. Don't run it, the official build on Tuesday is much better and you don't risk getting nasty trojans on you pc.

So I would say better wait for the official release

Don't worry.
i) Its not a old build. Its as old as Friday (the last working day)!!
ii) Doesn't have any malware. I checked it. Thousands of people have installed it. But no one found anything.

Opera is just trying to scare people to stop them from installing it. But yeah, the build is rather unpolished and has lots of bugs. If you dont want that, wait till tomorrow.

Seems interesting.

Its got lots of bugs as of now... But all of it will be cleared for the release..

Time to download and try..

& I like any good news related to opera as I'm a avid user of this browser since 2006

Downloaded it .....

What's New

Carakan

Carakan is our new JavaScript engine. It’s fast, more than 7x faster in SunSpider than Opera 10.10 with Futhark on Windows (Mac optimization is not as far along). You can read more gritty details regarding register-based bytecode, automatic object classification and native code generation in the Opera Core blog.

Presto 2.5

We are now using Presto 2.5, which contains a huge numbers of improvements. It also includes support for CSS3 transitions and transforms, and more HTML5 features like persistent storage.

Vega

Vega is our new graphics library. It’s currently software based and displays everything you see on-screen. Vega can be hardware accelerated, but as you can see from the complex graphics benchmark in Peacekeeper, we don’t seem to need it yet. (Note that Futuremarks Peacekeeper test does no include the results of their complex graphics tests in the overall score. We believe this is wrong in 2009 and will simply be silly if not changed in 2010.)

Platform integration

On Windows 7/Vista, you will notice a lot of visual changes and use of APIs which allow the UI to display the Aero Glass effect. For Windows 7, we also added Aero Peek and Jump List support to easily access your Speed Dials, Tabs, etc. from the Taskbar.

For Mac, a complete rewrite in Cocoa brings an Unified Toolbar, native buttons and scrollbars, multi-touch gestures (try 3-Finger Swipe Left/Right or Pinch to zoom) and a bunch of other small details. We also added Growl notification support.

“Private tab” and “Private window”

You can open a new Private tab or Private window that forgets everything that happened on it once closed.

Non-modal dialogs

Dialog boxes (JavaScript alerts, HTTP authentication, etc.) are now non-modal and are displayed as a page overlay. This allows you to switch tabs or windows while the dialog is still displayed. Similarly, the Password Manager dialog is now anchored at the top of the page won’t block any content as it loads a new page.

Address field and Search field improvements

Both fields have been upgraded in looks and functionality. They can now remember searches, support removing items from history and show results in a better layout.
