1712 Opera got a new release this past week with 110.10.6790 release candidate. Once again, there are no major visual clues that one is running an updated version, but Help pages now open in new tabs and shopping.com has been removed from Speed Dial. There has, however, been quite a bit of tweaking under the hood, especially to the Unite feature that lets Opera function like a Web server in the Web browser, allowing you to download and run Web applications and to share content with others quickly and easily.

Opera 10.10 also includes a Media Player application, facilitating enjoyment of music from any Web browser, anywhere, instantly or with any desktop music player that supports streaming playlists, plus Opera's unique Turbo proxy-server based compression feature that speeds up performance dramatically on slow connections.

New in version 10.10.6790:

Opera 10.10 with Opera Unite is a recommended upgrade offering new and improved features, plus security and stability enhancements.

New feature

Opera Unite
Opera Unite gives you the power to connect with others directly and to collaborate and share information from your computer without storing any data on external servers. It enables you to unleash the true power and reality of the "one Web for all" experience. When you choose to share something on your computer using Opera Unite technology, it is available for family, friends, or the entire world — you decide what to share and how to share it with users that you trust. To communicate with you or access your shared data, others can use any modern Web browser they like.

Opera Unite initially includes the following Opera Unite applications, which are small Web-service programs running inside the Opera 10.10 browser.

Opera Unite Home
Your personal Opera Unite Web page shows the Opera Unite applications you wish to share with family, friends, or the world.

File Sharing
The File Sharing application enables a simple and safe way to share files directly from your computer.

Fridge
The Fridge application enables people to leave notes on your computer.

Media Player

Messenger
A personal and private chat connection between you and another Opera Unite user who is listed as your friend on myopera.com

Photo Sharing
The Photo Sharing application enables you to share your personal photos with friends around the world without the need to upload them.
