Opera Software has released the latest version of their web browser, Opera 10.60. Unlike previous 10.x releases there is no limitation on platforms, Windows, Linux and Mac releases are simultaneous once again.

Besides being the first stable Linux release there are some other goodies inside this package. Carakan, the newly written JavaScript engine found in Opera 10.50 has been tweaked and enhanced to bring up to 50% more speed, staying on the heels of Google Chrome. Other changes include support for more HTML5 standards and WebM, the open video codec from Google used for instance on YouTube. Lastly there is now geo-location support as well as search suggestions, helping you to make the right search queries.

Existing Opera users may find their web browser prompting for the update, but it's also triggered from the Help menu. The full download is available from Opera's site, and includes all the changes inside described in the changelog.
