Download Opera 10.0 Alpha Build 1456

A new build of Opera 10.0 is now available for download. The browser continues to be in Alpha stage, but advanced to Build 1456 at the end of the past week. The release is now offered through Opera’s autoupdate mechanism, and, as such, users will need to manually download and install the browser. Only the versions for Windows and Mac OS X are live at this point in time, with the Linux variant expected to drop this week. One of the enhancements delivered with the latest version compared to precursor builds is automated crash reporting.
Users will no longer have to manually upload crash reports to the bug tracking system. However the feature only works on Windows so far, but it will also be tailored to Mac OS X and Linux in the future.

“When Opera crashes, it will open a dialog box which asks whether you want to report the crash to us. Clicking on “Options” lets you fill in some details, such as what you were doing when the crash occurred. There is also an option to restart Opera (enabled by default), so that you can get it up and running again right away,” revealed a member of the Opera team.
