Yesterday, Opera rolled out a snapshot for version 12.10 of the browser, which will be the next stable build. Today, they strut with a beta candidate, which shows that development is progressing nicely and very soon they’ll be able to increment the revision number.

The current build is accompanied by a short changelog showing performance improvements and bug fixes, such as no keyboard focus on pages launched from Speed Dial, or no gstreamer playback on 64-bit Windows 7.

Repairs eliminate a crash that occurred sometimes when you tried to close a tab waiting for authentication. The same effect would be achieved when opening Dragonfly with hardware acceleration enabled. This is also the reason the developers are asking testers to try the browser without hardware acceleration and check if the issues have been eliminated.

The full changelog is available here.
