Die umfangreichen Release Notes (Windows-Version) dokumentieren alle Änderungen, Verbesserungen und Fehlerkorrekturen seit der letzten offiziellen finalen Version 8.54.

Release Notes
This is a beta version of Opera. Use only on properly backed up computers.
This release uses a new account storage format. If you install over an existing profile, you will be prompted to convert all accounts into the new format. This will not require a re-index. You will not be able to use the reformatted e-mail with previous versions of Opera.

New features in Opera 9 include
Widgets - Small Web applications (multimedia, newsfeeds, games and more) that make your desktop experience more fun. Any Web developer can create their own Widgets and share them, regardless of operating system. Try the Widgets in Opera 9 by pressing F6.
