Here's the first build with built-in Fraud Protection. It's a very early preview of the technology, so everything is not entirely done yet, some sites actually show up wrong (silly bug with CNET sites!), and the icons are kind of ugly. Even the version number is wrong :)
Known issues:
High CPU usage on Google maps
UNIX - Crash when changing file handler from download dialog
Opera will in some cases not start on upgrading. (use clean install)
Changelog:
Improved stability
Prevented page reload when navigating to "#"
Fixed problem where pages showed the incorrect favicon
Fixed problem where multimedia keyboard shortcuts would not work when Opera was focused
Attempted to fix problems experienced on some pages when using a slow Internet connection by increasing opera:config#Network|HTTPLoadingDelayedTimeout to 60 seconds
Fixed bug where document.body.currentStyle.height reported the wrong value
Fixed bug where currentStyle.width was not correct if width is set by a script
Fixed bug where 'Open all' from Widgets menu was broken
Fixed bug where BCC header was visible to recipients in resent messages
Fixed bug where cookies could not be removed using XMLHttpRequest
Fixed bug where one could not log in to Gmail with "Accept only cookies for the site I visit" enabled
Changed Mozilla ID string spoof to mimic Firefox
Fixed bug where browser.js wasn't cached correctly
Fixed issue where stored passwords were lost after enabling/disabling the master password
Made IE ID string spoof as Windows on Linux/UNIX and Mac
XMLHttpRequest didn't handle redirects
Enabled use of the Authorization header in XMLHttpRequest
"Save target as" and "Save to disk" now play well together
"Save directly to" now works
Improved error message when a dictionary isn't installed for the spelling checker

Mac-specific:
Use the multi-line form field font in the source viewer
When saving multiple times, use the directory saved to during the previous save operation

Wand data is stored in a new format - please read below!
We made a change to the format Wand data is stored in: this means that if you upgrade to this build, you should not downgrade to a build with the previous format, as you would lose your Wand data. If you choose to upgrade an existing Opera install (note that we recommend against this with weekly builds), and you want to be on the safe side, please make a manual backup of the file wand.dat in your profile before ugprading. The new format also might mean that *some* data for logins *might* not be available anymore: we would very much appreciate feedback about this, with a URL to the page where you lost your Wand data.

You may have read about a phishing attack on MySpace that took advantage of
automatic form filling in other browsers. Although Opera was not directly
affected, these new changes make it even harder for users to be tricked by this attack.
