The newest snapshot for Opera 12 updates Presto layout engine to version 2.10.269, which features better CSS unit precision. Out of the almost 70 entries available in the changelog, more than 60 refer to Presto.

Build 1317 of Opera Next 12 introduces a unified approach for handling layout’s fixed point values such as length and font sizes. As expected, the new method does away with rounding the percentage and em values to the nearest integer.

Apart from this, the new revision also features stability enhancements and minor hardware rendering performance improvements.

There are also some known issues the development team has to deal with, such as extension preferences being lost on upgrade and a crash or freeze of the browser caused by adding a bookmark from the star menu.

The entire changelog for this build can be viewed on this page.
