Opera Software has posted the first beta of version 8.0 of their namesake web browser for Windows. However, this appears to be whatb was previously called 7.6. Apparently, they decided the changes were significant enough to justify a major version number. There are lots of little changes, bug fixes, and usability enhancements in 8.0. However major new features 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. XSLT is not supported. Other features include IRC, mail, and news clients and pop-up blocking. Opera is $39 payware.
