The attached diff will update the Opera port to 5.05TP1 ("technology
preview"). It works as well as Opera 5.0. In fact, I think a
display bug has been fixed. I also don't see any zombies with
asynchronous DNS, although that may be due to improvements in our
Linux emulation.
Of course what everybody is salivating over is the ability to use
Netscape plugins with this version. For that, you will need a Linux
Motif library, e.g. by way of the redhat_motif port I posted.
Flash 5.0r47 works. I'm not sure it always works correctly, but it
displays various animations. If you can't find one of those annoying
flash pages, there's a simple on at http://www.timeshipinfo.com/.
I haven't tried any other plugins yet. I don't know what's available.
Supposedly there's a Java somewhere. Pointers welcome.
Something I still need to look into: Opera automatically finds
plugins in ~/.netscape/plugins, but _only_ if linux-netscape is
installed.
