CHANGELOG

• Modified startup sequence to avoid a possible cache corruption when one instance of Opera is already running
• Modified shortcut code so that pressing Escape will stop document loading even when in fullscreen.
• Some fixes to the accelerator parsing so that it accepts Ctrl+Shift+Click
• Fixed a problem with the numeric keyboard. The numlock value was ignored when setting up shortcut value.
• Fixed a problem when closing a window with a gesture. The new active window would be maximized even if it was normalized.
• Fixed a path problem in the "save as" dialog box. It was not possible to specify a path component in the file input field.
• Restore focus when closing "add bookmark" and "add folder" dialogs
• Support for writing a Siemens specific keyboard.ini file
• Add "link to bookmarks" and "copy link address" now works properly with relative links.
• Fixed an image open/show problem from the rightclick document popup menu. An image was opened in a new window instead of shown.
• Fixed a problem when writing Cyrillic folder titles when exporting bookmarks as HTML.
• The new preference dialogbox look (treelist) is now the default.
• Ignore minimized windows when tiling/cascading windows (SDI mode)
• Fixed a problem regarding input methods in the multiline edit widget.
• Better news link support. The news url parser accepts the following flags:

  %s (server)

  Replaced by the server

  %g (group)

  Replaced by the group

  %r (raw)

  The raw string. The result will always start with "news://" and the generic server name ("unknown.newsserver") will be removed if present.

  %w (raw)

  As %r but without the "news://" prefix.

  Example: "knode [%r]" (in File->preferences->Applications)
• Improved formatting of selected test
• If document mode (user/author) is changed while a page is in print preview, then exit printpreview mode first.
• Fixed a problem that caused the displayed address not to be changed on back/fwd actions.
• All menu entries in the "Frame" and "Image" document popup menu can now accept configurable shortcuts.
