After the somewhat rushed release of Opera 10.50 comes the latest release, bringing it up to 10.51 and some added bonuses. Linux and Mac users still have to wait though, for their platforms to reach maturity.

The inevitable Opera 10.51 release should make some Windows users happier who've complained about stability and memory usage. The changelog is quite large, but the most important reason is security though, two issues where addresses in this area, and therefor is makes this a recommended installation for all Opera users.

But there is more news to be told. According to the Choose Opera blog, Opera 10.51 shows performance improvements in JavaScript of up to 27% in Peacemaker. Certainly that's one hell of a leap for a minor release, and makes the already outstanding Carakan engine even more superb.

If you're using Opera 10.50 already, but haven't seen an update warning yet, you can trigger it manually through the Help menu. Of course it's also possible to download. the entire web browser from Opera's site.
