Tunny 11.62 maintenance
Hello everyone!
My name is Kristine and I'm an all year round intern in Desktop QA. It’s been 938 days since my last blog post and it's good to be back ;)
We are preparing another maintenance release for 11.6x ‘Tunny’ with some stability fixes. This is a normal Opera release, not Opera Next. All of the below fixes are already in the current Opera Next release.

Ook!
Ook! I'm Dustin Wilson, and I'm a user experience designer for desktop here at Opera. You've probably seen my lurking around here before. I've been with the My Opera community since 2003, and I've been quite a vocal supporter of Opera. I just started working here on the 11th of January, and shortly thereafter I flew out to Oslo to meet and work with everyone. It's been extremely cold and dark, but great. I'm working with a great team, and we have a lot of awesome stuff planned. Fortunately for you all there are some nice design changes coming up! Stay tuned!
Why am I writing this post, then? They just needed a scapegoat person to write an intro to this Opera Next snapshot, and I was readily available and willing to do so. I'm perfectly sure this build contains many worthwhile changes! Have fun testing the build. :D

Smarter address field suggestions
We have already introduced address field search suggestions powered by our partners Google (default), Bing, Яндекс (Yandex), and Wikipedia (English only). Now we want our own address field suggestions to meet the same high quality standards as the ones provided by our partners for your bookmarks and history entries.
In our old system; everything including bookmarks was matched against page URL, title, or page content and then ordered in one giant list sorted by last visited time.
The new system assigns a score to each suggestion based on more factors than just the last visited time. For example, we prioritize your bookmarks, the position in the URL where we find a match, and the number of times we get a match on the page.
We are not done yet, and will work on integrating Speed Dials and further improve the scoring system.
What do you think about the new results in the address field? Are we getting you to where you wanted to go?
If you already know exactly where you want to go and don’t care too much about the above improvements; then you will certainly appreciate that we’ve also worked on getting you on your way faster. (Nice segue, huh?) Start-up times and session handling should be snappier in this build. We’ve ironed out a bunch of smaller issues that we think will make a big difference.
PS: There are some other treasures in the change log as well. :pirate:

Camera and privacy changes in Labs
Welcome back on the desktop blog in the New Year! Our batteries are fully loaded, we hope yours too ;), so lets start this year with something interesting, that will catch your eyes! Let us share with you an experimental Camera build, which we made available at Opera Labs. From now on you can set and manage privacy settings for the camera directly from the UI, which wasn't possible in earlier build we showed you. When you are visiting the page, that wants to use your camera, you'll be asked to grant permission to camera stream for that site via special notification callout.
This new privacy settings interface contains information about all used devices, including geolocation settings.
With the getusermedia support you don't depend on the 3rd party plugins or special extensions. Everything what you need is just Opera Browser ... oh and web camera of course!
So if you have some webcam plug it in, grab the build from Opera Labs and check how it works!
Developer notes: If you've tried to use camera with our previous labs camera build, notice that we are up to date with latest specification. Remember to use video as an object instead of a string when accessing video stream through getusermedia.

64-bit and out-of-process plugins builds now available on Labs
You might think we're all quiet here just before Christmas - but head over to Opera Labs to see where the party is at! We're releasing an early build of the work in progress that will eventually make Opera more stable, secure and faster. Out-of-process plugins (OOPP) mean that Opera can shield itself from plugin crashes, and as a bonus we will be releasing 64-bit builds for Windows and Mac for the first time!

Wahoo overtaking Tunny
Since Tunny has been released from the holding tank, we can now focus on Wahoo (Opera 12).
The changelog for this snapshot is mostly the same as the 11.60 changes since the previous Opera 12 build. In addition to that, there is a basic implementation of themes on Linux/FreeBSD and other themes fixes.
Kiss Kiss :flirt: !

11.60 goes final
Opera 11.60 has been released today!:cheers:
The desktop team would like to thank everyone for testing and reporting issues.
If you haven't tried Opera's built-in mail client (M2) yet, now is the time to do so. Opera's mail UI has been completely revamped in Opera 11.60, is easy to setup and works well in combination with webmail services.
11.60 also features an updated version of the browser enginer (including Opera's new HTML5 parser, Ragnarök) and many improvements in the address field, including an easy way to add pages to bookmarks or speed dial.
More details about what is new in Opera 11.60 can be found in the changelogs.
Stay tuned for Opera 12 snapshots!

Opera 11.60 (Tunny) Release Candidate 2
This is Opera 11.60 (Tunny) Release Candidate 2.
This build has a small batch of fixes, including an improved fix for the address field bookmark star. This fix should be fairly safe, but let us know if you spot any regression related to the address field compared to the previous Release Candidate.
NOTE!
Please try to keep comments relevant, as we need to focus on critical issues that could potentially block the release. Requests, minor bugs like visual glitches, bugs that are not regressions, etc. should be posted on the next Opera 12 (Wahoo) snapshot.

Tunny Release Candidate
This is the first Opera 11.60 (Tunny) Release Candidate.
A Release Candidate could potentially be released as the final version if there are no issues that are serious enough to block the release. If there are any issues that are not critical, please wait for the next Wahoo (Opera 12) snapshot, and discuss it there instead.
Windows users will notice that we have removed the native skin. Rather than having to maintain two separate skins, we're putting more effort into improving the standard skin. If you would like to discuss this change, please create a thread in the forum, or post in an existing thread if one already exists.

Another step towards a Tunny RC, now with Flash/plugin fixes
We're still not quite ready for a Release Candidate, but we've done some work on plugins that we would like you all to take for a spin. This should, among other things, fix the issue where Flash videos would keep playing in the foreground after closing or switching tabs.
So for this snapshot, please be on the lookout for plugin/Flash regressions, particularly related to focus and input.
As a general note, please test in 11.5x before you report any problems, and indicate in your comment whether it is a regression in 11.60 or not.
