Earlier today Opera rolled out the first release candidate for version 11.62 of the browser. Now they make available a new snapshot (build 1351) for Opera 12, codenamed Wahoo. This development build is the first one also available for 64-bit platforms, for Windows and Mac.

Out-of-process plugins (OOPP) are included in this snapshot. Running plugins in a separate process increases the stability and performance of the web browser.

Apart from this, the build runs an updated Presto engine. The improved Core brings to the table initial support for HTML5 Drag and Drop, which caters for functionality such as moving items from the desktop onto a web page.

Support for CSS Animations, although experimental, is also present in this release.
