Hot on the heels of 9.60, we had to release Opera 9.61 to address problems in Opera Link. Alone, each issue we discovered was miniscule and shouldn't have caused any problems, but together, and coupled with some server issues, it turned out to be more serious than we thought.

Release Notes

* Opera 9.61 is a recommended security upgrade. Please see the Security section.
* Opera 9.61 incorporates the Opera Presto 2.1.1 user agent engine.

Changes since Opera 9.6

User Interface
