Latest official opera release is out.
Its not on their homepage but it is on their ftp servers. But for all of us, we know the best place to get stuff before its released.

Sadly that's still a test (nightly) release. Opera told me "Opera 9.10 has not been released officially.
Build 8679 is still considered as a weekly test release."

Does any one know what that torrent support is in Opera 9.x? I was looking at the screenshot page but it doesn't say if a torrent client must be installed, or if it's a part of Opera itself. I ask because I'm in no hurry to reinstall Opera.

it's part of Opera itself. currently, i have it disabled because i find µTorrent to be superior. plus, i don't think Opera supports seeding...

but anyways, torrent downloads look like regular downloads from the web. the Transfers tab showing the percentage and whatnot.

Final version of 9.10 is now officially released. http://www.opera.com/download/

Changelog: http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/910/

im still using Opera 8.0. Opera 9 doesnt automatically have java built in.

Sun's Java Runtime Environment can be downloaded separately at:

yes, ive tried that but for reasons i cant explain, it still doesnt detect that the browser has java.

Go to Tools - Quick prefs. and check is "Enable Java" checked.
