Weekly snapshot 1.0.123.10 is available for download

March 9, 2015

Hi everyone,

Last week, our team focused on getting the second Technical Preview out the door.

We got some nice media coverage, yay! Thanks everyone for helping us to spread the word!

The work on improving spatial navigation is ongoing. We’ve tweaked the link selection algorithm and few other things but we still have more to do before this feature works perfectly.

We also improved the on-demand image loading feature. You can now decide which image to load while you are in Show only cashed images mode. For a image not loaded, you can right click and choose Reload Image. It’s still work in progress but we thought you might be interested.

We have also done some work to improve the speed of the Vivaldi UI. This includes updating some components, noticeably React. Hopefully, you notice some nice UI performance improvements 🙂
