We have now begun publishing our Snapshot stream for the Vivaldi iOS browser.
To make it easier and lower the risk for you to test our cutting edge builds, Vivaldi Snapshot is a separate application that will be installed alongside the Final and have its own set of preferences and settings.
Differences to Beta/Final
The purpose of these snapshots is to allow our fans a chance to preview upcoming changes, and to help us ensure the quality of our latest fixes and improvements, before we add them to Final. If you would prefer something that was already widely tested, stick with the main Vivaldi iOS package.
When testing a Snapshot, it is a good idea to review the changelog (below). Try out the changes and let us know your thoughts in the comments section or report it directly to our bug tracking system. When commenting or reporting a bug, remember that it is helpful to mention the version you were testing with.
Here are some of the changes that have been made:
- Context Menu Item for Opening Tabs in Background (VIB-444)
Manage your open tabs with the addition of a context menu item for opening tabs in the background. - Option to Refresh Speed Dial Thumbnails (VIB-384)
Keep your Speed Dial organized and up to date with the new option to refresh thumbnails. Now, you can ensure that your Speed Dial Thumbnails reflect the latest content. - Enhanced Custom Wallpaper Functionality (VIB-604, VIB-606)
Enjoy a smoother experience when customizing your wallpaper with fixes for thumbnail preview clearance and dismissals. Now, selecting “Select as Wallpaper” won’t dismiss the entire settings page. - Improved Favicon Loading on Start Page (VIB-367)
We’ve addressed an issue where favicons may not load properly on fresh installs. - We’ve fixed and polished several other small bugs as well.
Take a look at the changelog for a full overview of the changes and let us know what you think.
