<H3 id=3Dmajor>Major new features</H3>
<H4>Chat Revisited</H4>
<P>Every aspect of Opera Chat has been improved. There's a new identd =
server to=20
make connecting to IRC easier. We've fixed several other usability bugs =
with=20
Opera Chat. You can now add IRC nicknames for your contacts and they'll =
show up=20
in the Chat panel when they're online or away. Right-clicking in the =
Chat panel=20
gives you the opportunity to set your away status. Don't forget to join =
us at=20
#opera on irc.opera.com for some great chat!</P>
<H4>Favicons in Bookmarks</H4>
<P>Having trouble finding bookmarks? Opera now saves favicons in the =
Bookmarks=20
panel, Bookmarks menu, and Personal bar. It's easier than ever to find =
the=20
bookmarks you're looking for.</P>
<H4>M2 Optimized</H4>
<P>Building on the success from 7.50 Preview 1, we've polished M2 so =
it's ready=20
for general use. We've fixed several problems that could lead to message =
loss.=20
We've sped up reindexing, importing, downloading messages, reading =
messages;=20
well, just about everything. It's now easier to mark messages as spam =
and=20
marking messages as <Q>Not spam</Q> doesn't add a new contact. New mail=20
notification is now more clear, too. Clicking on the notification =
tooltip will=20
open your Unread view. The Mail panel selector button will show the =
number of=20
messages in your Unread view and is highlighted when there's new mail =
since last=20
you looked. Take the new M2 for a spin, we're sure you'll like her.</P>
<H4>Start Panel 2.0</H4>
<P>While still experimental, the Start panel has come a long way. The =
Start=20
panel is now fully customizable. You can drag buttons and edit fields =
there, so=20
you can make it suit your needs. And the slim and maximized Start panels =
can be=20
customized with different buttons and fields. Got a search you think =
everyone=20
should know about? You can make it a link on your web page that others =
can drag=20
to their Start panel!</P>
<H4>Transfers Made Easier</H4>
<P>To keep useless information about downloads out of your face until =
you can=20
actually use the file, we've made it so the Transfers panel doesn't open =
automatically. The Transfers button in the panel selector now includes =
the time=20
remaining and the number of downloads. And when a download completes, a =
tooltip=20
lets you know and the Transfer panel selector button is highlighted.</P>
<H4>Panels Improved</H4>
<P>The panels are now more usable and flexible. Maximized panels have =
different=20
toolbar buttons than slim panels. And they have additional columns, =
providing=20
usual information. The History panel, for instance, will tell you the =
pages=20
you've visited most in the Popularity column. To make it easier to get =
info from=20
the panels into Opera's work space, single clicking on panel items now =
activates=20
them. Want to hide the panel selector to get a little more work space? =
No=20
problem, just put your mouse at the edge of Opera's window, click, and =
it gets=20
hidden.</P>
