Interesting Opera Update

Yesterday I was about to installed KDE and went to upgrade and saw that opera-9.50 was in the update list, I just figured that the beta finally was finished and then moved on to install KDE. Today I check the changelog on the frontpage and saw that opera-9.25-2 was on it. Was confused, then I went to update again today with some of the new stuff that was updated and got the "new" opera-9.25-2 with opera-9.50 already installed. I guess it was fixed I just wanted the devs to know.

* I do not have the testing repo enabled, just the core, extra, and community enabled.

Thanks

The opera 9.50 move from [testing] to [extra] was actually a mistake, I think, because that version hasn't been released yet. I don't even know why opera 9.50 is in [testing] while in fact it is still, technically, an *unstable* version.

Opera 9.50 is in testing mainly because it's the first release that works for x86_64. The i686 package is also provided in case i686 users wants to try it too.

Re: Interesting Opera Update

I like it, the opera 9.25-2 update still doesn't fix the flashplugin problem, however the 9.50 version does, and hasn't crashed yet.

Thanks for the notice though and I didn't know that about opera 9.50 for the x86_64 platform. Now I might have to try upgrade my Arch install.
