Opera

Opera has released the latest weekly update to their popular browser.

There are two main changes this time are an update to the Wand format and fixes to the fraud protection.

Wand is Opera’s method of storing passwords. The passwords are stored in a wand.dat file. This update changes the format, so if you are upgrading remember to keep a backup.

The other update is improvement in the fraud protection to prevent RCSR. Earlier this week it was reported that IE and Firefox are vulnerable to this. Opera is not vulnerable, but with this update the protection has been improved even more.

Other Changes in the update include:

  • Windows media plugin now works even if java is disabled
  • Fixed hanging when hovering some pages, for example elkjop.no
  • Fixed issue with floating point numbers treated as integers on some linux systems (caused some CSS and scripts to fail)
  • Several Memory leak and crash fixes
