Mac users, rejoice! The first stable build of Opera Evenes (10.5x trunk) has been finally released for Mac. Windows users, who have been enjoying Opera 10.5x for more than a month, also have reason for cheer. Opera 10.52 for Windows brings several performance improvements and bug fixes.
Mac users will be able to experience for the first time the major new Opera features introduced in Evenes. Here are some of the highlights of this release:
Mac-ified UI: Opera 10.52 has a more native look and feel thanks to Cocoa integration and other miscellaneous improvements such as support for Growl notifications.
Finger Navigation: Modern Macbooks have multi-touch trackpads and with Opera 10.52, you can make full use of it. Pinch to zoom or use two fingers to scroll and three fingers to navigate back and forth in your browser history, all from your trackpad.
Other Goodies from Opera 10.5: Opera 10.52 for Mac also includes other general features from Opera 10.50. Check my visual tour and review of Opera 10.50 for more information.
