How to update opera 48 trial#

Furthermore I don't really see a need for keeping a 'opera10.tcz' extension around, as that was IMHO anyway not such a great effort.ДЇor those (presumably few) users that want to trial the Opera alpha or beta releases this process has since about a year been pretty simple: download, extract, (install the one or two dependencies like 'libxft.tcz') and just run it (e.g. I'd like to think that would be more reasonable, as it might surprise some users that something that is more than two years old pretends to be 'fresh'. On that note I wonder why the latest stable release should not be called 'opera.tcz' and the (trusted) old 'opera.tcz' (i.e. It might be worthwhile to create a 'proper', up-to-date 'opera11.tcz' extension. That is not a big loss in my view as it contains the already outdated release 11.11 as the current stable release is 11.50. As far as I can tell it is hidden as it lacks an '' file (which prevents it's inclusion in 'info.lst'). I'm aware that there exists a 'hidden' 'opera11.tcz' extension in the repository. 13 month between FF 3.6 and FF 4.0), but nowadays in the current climate of much shorter 'gestation' periods, I'm not so sure about that. I could see the point in having something like 'FF-beta' when the development cycle was considerably longer (e.g. My suggestion would be to remove the outdated 'firefox-beta.tcz' and not include an 'opera-next.tcz' in the repository.

Looking at the repository where I can spot an outdated 'firefox-beta.tcz' (of v4.0rc1) whilst the (stable) 'firefox.tcz' is v5.0.1 just shows (at least IMHO) how futile it can be trying to chase more than just a current stable browser release. In my view calling it now 'Opera-next' instead of an alpha or beta release is just the 'flavour of the month' following in the trails of Chrome and FireFox with their different 'channels' etc. The Opera team is pushing out their 'bleeding edge' releases fairly frequently (sometimes multiple times in a week) and announce them via their blog. Hmm, I'm not really sure that we really need such a thing as an 'opera-next.tcz' extension (in particular one that shows on it's own 'about:opera' page that it is only 'pre-alpha').
