New Opera 9.5 build gets cloaking
A brand new weekly has been released by the Opera Desktop Team and this time, it has brought forth for testing a new feature. Previously seen in classics like Predator 1 and 2 Opera's cloaking feature doesn't make the browser blend with the environment but it 'hides' the document.all file so as to not have certain websites provide the IE-oriented code to Opera 9.5 which is standard-compliant enough to render pages correctly. Most of the times.

All in all, the newly-released Opera 9.5 build comes with:

- Even more Gmail2 fixes, getting closer to working
- More presice rounding of HSL values in CSS
- Playing video on CNN works again
- Adding links to walls on Facebook now works
- Login to Open-Xchange now works
- Fixed various issues on Windows Live Mail
- Saving playlists on YouTube should now function correctly
- User style mode no longer applies to Mail or IRC tabs
- Several favicon fixes
- Fixed the line below dialog tabs in native skins
- Tweaking and improvements to Windows native skins (both themed and classic) based on feedback and bug reports
- Fixed a problem with wrong handling of some filetypes, including messed up display of MHTML
- Mac: Fixed color corruption when copying images (and preserve the alpha channel)
- Mac: Possibly fixed printing crashes on Leopard
- UNIX: Plugins in symlinked directories should now not be listed twice

The known issues of this version include:

- MIME type for executables is set to be handled by some plugin - change the configuration in your preferences to get this to work correctly
- Sparc builds will crash when initializing anything related to mail
- CPU usage will grow to 100% on UNIX when generating tooltips
