Pressemitteilung Opera Version 7.50 Beta 1 Released on all Desktop Platforms Oslo, Norway - April 22, 2004 - Opera Software today released the beta 1 of version 7.50, redesigned from the bottom up for Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. Today's release marks the first time that upgrades for all desktop platforms have been released simultaneously, with Opera now bringing its Mac browser up to par. Opera 7.50 offers users a significantly improved user experience, with added Internet functions and an entirely new user interface. With 7.50, Opera becomes more than a Web browser. Along with browsing, Opera users get an enhanced built-in e-mail client, Opera Mail, and a new IRC-compatible chat feature. Opera Mail offers intelligent e-mailing with support for instant content search, a contact database, a newsgroup reader, automatic filtering, and now features spellchecker and RSS newsfeeds. Spam filtering is taken a step further in this release by allowing users to teach filters to recognize a class of messages. Classified e-mails are then automatically directed to a designated work, personal, or special interest folder to tailor e-mail management. Upon opening the browser, Opera users will immediately recognize a completely remodelled interface with a fresh, light appearance, smaller buttons, and quicker access to key browsing features in the panel selector. The panel selector is optimized for speed and productivity and includes features such as bookmarks, notes and is home to Opera Mail and the debuting chat feature that supports private and group discussions. "Opera's superior Internet experience is further enhanced with Opera 7.50," says Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera Software. "Opera now delivers all mainstream Internet applications in a single, seamless product across platforms. In our features power pack, fans will notice significant speed boosting in everything from start-up loading time, page rendering, e-mail search, UI tweaks, to even exiting the application." 7.50 continues to push Opera in speed and improves standards support while maintaining its status as the smallest full-featured browser available.
