Opera Wahoo Snapshot Receives Hardware Acceleration Fixes

A new snapshot for Opera Wahoo (12.00 alpha) has emerged, containing, among others, hardware acceleration fixes.

The current development build of the Norwegian web browser has been released for Windows, Mac and Linux/FreeBSD. It eliminates a high number of crashes related to hardware acceleration; it also takes care of things such as picking up the wrong driver version when there is more than one graphic card available or artifacts rendered by border-radius CSS3 property.

Issues with scrolling Flash animation in pages with Flash inside iframe have also been repaired and blurry visuals on imdb.com.

As far as desktop bugs are concerned, the latest Wahoo build, 1213, brings to the table memory fixes for automatic updates. Also fixed is the browser crash occurring when dropping a tab onto a tab stack in another window. Additional crash bugs have also been squashed; all fixes are available on this page.
