Opera Software has posted the third beta of version 8.0 of their namesake web browser for Windows. This beta adds native Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) support for the first time. So far it only supports SVG Tiny. Other major new features in 8.0 include speech-enabled browsing (including support for XHTML+Voice), medium-screen rendering, and inline error pages. Opera supports HTML, XML, XHTML, RSS, WML 2.0, and CSS. However, XSLT is still not supported. Opera is $39 payware.
