More crash logging and settings for Unite bandwidth throttling
By danaleks. Friday, 3. July 2009, 13:54:00 peregrine, snapshot
Yet another new pretty face on the blog! I’m a Mac product tester who have been working at Opera for 8 months. You may have seen me on our excellent forums already.
Things are settling down as we are now approaching the final release. Here we have got a new development snapshot for you to play around with while its too hot to be outside.
In this build, automated crash logging makes its first appearance on the Mac! Yey! (Will make my job a lot easier.) When Opera crashes, Developer Tools Access will pop-up asking you for an administrative password. It looks a bit dodgy , but will [hopefully] not be necessary in the final release. Oh, and we’re doing code signing on the Mac now.
We have also added a new advanced settings dialog for Opera Unite. You can set preferences for using UPnP for router port forwarding as well as new preferences for using optional bandwidth throttling for Unite services. (So your friends don’t use up all your bandwidth.)
Have a great summer!
