Opera 5 for eCS and OS/2

Status: Currently a closed (not publicly available)

late alpha version.

The first Public version of Opera for OS/2 will be a Technology Preview, followed by a Public Beta version. Opera for OS/2 has been tested on Warp 4 and WSeB (OS/2 4.5).

Opera 5 for OS/2 is closely based on Opera 5 for win32, and should work the same way.

Here's what Opera for OS/2 does so far:

• Renders HTML 1, 2.0, 3.2 and 4.01 Pages
  
• Renders XHTML 1 Pages
  
• Supports XML 1.0 with CSS stylesheet
  
• Supports WAP pages
  
• "JavaScript": Executes most EcmaScript 1.1 (Ecma-262 v.3)
  
• Supports CSS 1 and most of CSS 2
  
• Plug-in support for native Netscape-compatible plugins (mostly untested).
  

Here's what Opera for OS/2 doesn't do yet:

• Java
  
• Printing - attempting to print crashes Opera
  
• Some preferences don't work
  
• Mail
  
• Messaging - attempting to send messages crashes Opera
