Opera Presto 2.2 is to be the foundation for all Opera 10 releases and the developers say Presto 2.2 will increase performance by as much as 30% over Presto 2.1.
Opera has always been known for its strong standards suport but with version 10 the company has achieved a 100/100 test score on Acid3, the recognised test levels for web standards.
Other new features in Opera 10 alpha include spell-checking as users type, as well as auto-updating to the latest versions as they become available. Opera Mail also has added support for HTML formatting of e-mails.
"My favorite development in this release is the support for new Web technologies, which allows people to explore new ways of using the Internet," says Johan Borg, vice president of consumer engineering, Opera Software. "Our 100/100 Acid3 Test score is only a first indication of the impact these new Web technologies will have. We look forward to your feedback on Opera 10."
