[MAJ] Opera 10 sort en Release Candidate

C'est la dernière ligne droite pour le navigateur Opera. En effet, l'éditeur du navigateur vient de publier une Release Candidate de la 10ème version qui sortira en version finale le 1er septembre.

Au menu des nouveautés :

Tout d'abord, on va signaler une nouvelle identité visuelle du navigateur, la nouvelle icône du logiciel. Après de nombreuses années, cette icône rafraichit est désormais compatible avec les formats d'affichage de Windows Vista/7 et de MacOS X (Explorateur/Superbar/Finder/Dock). Sans compter le changement de thème par défaut qui devient un peu plus sombre que celui de la version 9.

Coté fonctionnalités, Il ne faut pas oublier qu'Opera n'est pas seulement un navigateur, il est aussi un client mail, un logiciel de chat IRC, un client BitTorrent, contient de nombreux widgets (qui ne fonctionnent uniquement quand le navigateur est ouvert) et à tout cela s'ajoute avec cette version 10 la fameuse fonction "Turbo" censée accélérer le chargement des pages pour les plus petites connexions internet. Revers de la médaille cette fonction compresse drastiquement les images et réduit donc leur qualité. Quant à la fonction "Unite", elle ne sera pas incluse dans cette version, elle reste donc en bêta-test pour une sortie ultérieure... sûrement pour la version 10.10 d'Opera.

Voilà pour les nouveautés de cette version, place aux liens de téléchargements :
