Carakan F.A.Q.

By brucelawson. Thursday, 5. February 2009, 09:47:24

Categories ECMAScript, JavaScript, Carakan

1.0 What is Carakan?

Carakan is Opera's new JavaScript engine. It's still in development, but is already 2.5 times faster than our Opera 10 alpha engine (which itself is 30% faster on real websites than previous versions of Opera). Some aspects are between 5 and 50 times faster!

2.0 Why are we developing it?

Because we can! Opera has always been about speed, security and a small memory footprint, so we're constantly improving these aspects of the browser. Many of today's web applications depend heavily on JavaScript, and we're developing what will be the fastest ECMAscript engine on the market.

3.0 When will Carakan be available?

Soon. We've chosen to talk about it now as we're discussing it at the Web Directions North conference, but we're still combing its hair and straightening its tie before we're ready to let you see it.

4.0 How does it work?

It's a combination of brilliant coding and Norwegian voodoo magic ("Snowdoo"). If you want more details about the brilliant coding, you can read all about register-based bytecode, automatic object classification and native code generation on the Opera Core Concerns Blog. We're sworn to secrecy about the Snowdoo. By a Yeti troll.

5.0 What does "Carakan" mean?

We thought about naming it "Unicorn-badger" or "Shouting Otter". But, we've chosen the name "Carakan" (pronounced "Jarakan"), which is the original alphabet from the Indonesian island of Java.

In other words, it's the purest Java Script. When you try it, you'll agree.

The latest Opera includes the ability to open mailto: links in webmail providers Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail.

Shamelessly stolen from the old OP:

quote:

Opera 9.51 is a free (closed-source) cross-platform web browser known for its speed, small size and large feature set. It's the latest iteration in the long-running line of the Opera browser, which traces its heritage back to 1994. Opera was one of the first (if not the first) web browsers to support tabs, mouse gestures, history search and many more features which later were co-opted by other browsers.

Some of the features Opera supports
Built-in personal data (read: bookmark) syncing to the web, to keep all your computers on the same page.

A robust, MDI-based tab system.

Typing into the address bar searches not just your previously typed URLs, but also the content of your previously-viewed pages.

Speed-dial: When opening a new tab, it defaults to showing you a grid of screenshots of your favorite pages -- just click one to go to it or, better yet, hit a num key corresponding to its position on the grid! (So '1' would be the upper-left hand corner, 9 would be the bottom right, and so on, just like a telephone.)

Skinnable interface, and vast support for behavior customization via the preferences menu and the opera:config magic URL.

Spell checker support

Mouse gestures -- built in support to make them much more flexible and robust than other implementations. (Seriously, try doing the reload gesture over a unfocused tab title and be amazed.)

A built-in RSS reader

And a billion more I can't list here . . .

Sounds like bloat, doesn't it? Far from it. Every one of these features can be turned off. Opera's disk footprint is smaller than basic Firefox, it's RAM profile is on par or better than FF3, and it launches and browses faster than anything based on the Gecko engine at the moment.

What Opera has going for it is a wide variety of built in features - things you would have to install an extension for in Firefox are part of Opera by default. You can see a small sample above. The other big thing is that Opera includes hundreds of little things that just make it nicer. Rocker gestures to navigate pages, keyboard shortcuts galore. There are many and more, and almost every little bit of it can be customized, from keyboard shortcuts to menus to the icons on the screen.

Opera views tabs differently from Firefox - it's much more like Chrome's tabs system. Instead of having the controls at the top and tabs right above the page, each tab becomes like its own little browser. What does this mean? Each tab has its own history and search bar. You can drag and drop tabs between windows. You can even drag a tab into blank desktop space and create a new window from it. Pop ups appear inside of the main Opera window by default, without creating a new entry in your taskbar. Basically, the only part of Chrome's process philosophy Opera lacks is the seperate process bit. Each tab acts as an independent application. It doesn't sound big, but it's one of the changes that can make a big difference.

Opera Link and Speed dial are our newest pretties, and they are amazing. Opera Link is a built in syncing function, which will store bookmarks, notes, custom searches and other similar things (except passwords) on the Opera servers. You can access them as an HTML page in any browser if you're away from home, but the real appeal is with Opera obviously. If you're using Opera on any platform, you can Synchronize Opera and it will grab all of this information and store it locally. Including Opera Mobile, so you can manage bookmarks on your home PC and download them all to your phone.

Speed Dial is like an Expose'd version of QuickLaunch. That's about the best way I can describe it. What it is is a 3x3(or more!) grid that link to whatever sites you choose. Each shows a snapshot of the page, which can be set to update at different intervals. 1-9 also correspond to ctrl+1-9 on the keyboard shortcuts, allowing for extremely quick browsing to 9 sites. What does this all realisticly mean? Every time you open a new tab, you have a search bar and up to date thumbnails of 9 pages - if you're a compulsive news checker, it's easy to see when a new story has come in. Speed Dial is also synced via Opera Link. Check out http://cybernetnews.com/2008/06/13/helpful-tip-add-more-speed-dials-in-opera-95/ for more than 9.

Other things of note:

Built in adblocking! Pick a list from http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ in Opera format and you have built in Content Blocking.

Built in UserJS! Yes, there are a ton of Greasemonkey scripts. Opera is compatible! Check out http://userjs.org/ for primarily Opera ones, or throw your Greasemonkey scripts in! It's all good!

Opera SALR! With the forums containing built-in last read functionality, this is more of an aesthetic script. OP, Mod, Your own, and posts quoting yours will all highlight in different colors. Check it out @ http://junk.ionmine.com/salr2/misc_userjs/saforums-operahighlight.js

IEtab for Opera! http://thinkabdul.com/2007/08/13/ie...xplorer-engine/ has the details.

DownThemAll! http://www.astrofunk.info/archives/000017.html

Keyboard shortcuts galore! http://help.opera.com/Windows/9.62/en/keyboard.html

SA Menu!

Blue Moonlight posted:

Cross-posting this from the old thread. See, you can extend Opera!

Something Awful QuickMenu, v.1.9
It's here! I went through and updated every menu entry to match up with the forums index.

Where do I get this thing, anyway?
You right click on this link and save it to your cavernous hard drive.

OK, it's now in C:\Users\Naruto2000\My Documents\My Faxes\Old Faxes\Pr0n\, where do I put it?
Well, you could just leave it there, but it's making that folder even more of a lie than it already was. Depends on what crazy OS you're running.

Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\$YOUR_LOGIN_NAME$\Application Data\Opera\Opera\Profile\Menu
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\$YOUR_LOGIN_NAME$\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\Profile\Menu
Mac OS X:
/Users/$YOUR_LOGIN_NAME$/Library/Preferences/Opera Preferences/Menu
Unix-Based:
~/.opera/menu

If you don't already have a Menu directory, create it, then put the file you downloaded into it.

Well, now it's there, and nothing's showing up! Dammit, I'm going back to my collection of egg timer extensions on Firefox.
Hold on a sec! Go to Opera's preferences (Windows: Tools -> Preference; Mac: Opera Menu -> Preferences; *nix: Edit -> Preferences), then click the Advanced tab. Click on the Toolbars entry in the list on the side. Now, in the pane that appears, there should be a field labeled Menu Setup. Select the most recent SA QuickMenu entry listed, then click OK. A new SA menu should appear at the top of the screen.

What the gently caress is GBS doing at the bottom of the menu?
That's the Favorites section of the menu. Basically, I have it preset to GBS, A/T, and SH/SC, because those are the forums I hit the most, but don't worry, it's easy to change. Open up the INI file in your text editor of choice, and search for "CUSTOMIZED QUICKMENU ENTRIES". Below that is a list of every forum at SA. Notice that GBS, A/T, and SH/SC do not have semicolons in front of them, while every other forum has a semicolon in front of it's Item listing. Remove the semicolon in front of the Item to show the forum in the SA Menu, add a semicolon in front of the Item to hide the forum from the menu. If you're running Opera at the time, you might need to restart.

Where's Grand Theft Auto Fourum, I need to kill some whores and I don't know how!
I didn't include Grand Theft Auto Fourum and Euro 2008 because they are relatively short-term forums. RSF is included because while the topic might change, the forum ID and general name will likely stay the same.

Where's my Widgets/Feeds/Chat (wtf?)/Mail menu? Why have you killed that which I love?
Fret not, for all you need to do is open the INI file and search for "[Browser Menu Bar]" Below that (and the scary comment that says that you should only modify items that are SA QuickMenu related above it), you'll see the lines for Widgets, Feeds, Chat, and Mail all with a semicolon in front of them. Remove the semicolon for the one(s) you want.

So, what's this formatting stuff I heard about?
Well, since we don't have a fancy WYSIWYG editor here at SA, the QuickMenu remedies that somewhat. Select the text in the reply field that you wish to apply formatting to, then right-click on it. Go to SA QuickEdit, then look for the formatting you wish to apply. It's a little weird at first, but you'll get used to it.

I always forget how to insert the smiley, can you help?
Yes. Search for "SA QuickMenu Smileys Menu", then remove the semicolon from that line. Then, scroll down until you see "Item, "Smile" = Insert, " : ) "". That's your key. Duplicate the line, and change "Smile" to the name you want to appear in the menu. Change " : ) " to whatever the smiley is that you want (obviously, without a space in the middle of it). I'd highly recommend adding a space before and after to ensure that the smiley doesn't get mangled during rendering.

OK, I've got a suggestion, or a complaint, or a question, or something.
Sure, hit me up on AIM at kyle61186, via PM, or at admkyle @ gmail.com.

Enjoy everyone!

So get to it. Ask questions or post your favorite hidden feature. Anything awesome can be added to the OP.

There have been some issues still with syncing notes, something to do with timestamps and computer clocks from what I can make out over in Opera land. Best bet is just to make sure Notes is checked under the sync options on both machines (file > Stop Synchronizing... file > Synchronize Opera > Opera Link Options [boy they need to add a sync options section in preferences]), and post on the forums about it. Havaard, the moderator there sometimes says he can get the "server guys" to do a manual check of someone's account to provide insight if things are not going to plan.

There is no way to print from notes directly, make a request in the wish-list forum though! Notes are very powerful and should be printable. This is probably from the same bug where printing fails if there is any text in a textfield. For instance, I can't print this message I'm typing nor the post reply page as long as i've typed text in this here box.

Thanks, I'll try that out.

You can't integrate gmail afaik without an application like Digsby or similar.

Make sure you'e got the latest version of Flash 10. Other than that, it might stutter a little bit, but it should be ok. The stuttering is mostly flash being poo poo.

Do you have any of the adblocking stuff in use? I think one of them includes a filter for *ad* which fucks up URLs which happen to contain "ad" in the hash. I don't have a quick solution, but I think that might be the problem.

# ? Nov 12, 2008 15:34

Mr. Nice!: Oct 13, 2005; c-spam cannot afford

Nope.

It's odd. A picture that won't load in opera for whatever reason half an hour ago, but would load in safari just fine will now load in opera and some other image from waffleimages has the issue. It's not particular to one server or anything that they use, just images refusing to load at some times and then working fine later.

It's the damndest thing.

EDIT - since I last updated opera, I've been noticing a lot of threads seem to have an infinite scroll bar.

I shouldn't have said infinite. I should have just said excessively long.

This thread has one, for example.

Also the image in medina's post won't load for me in opera right now. Opened right up in safari, though.

EDIT: Testing

Ok, it loads fine if I put it in with the img code instead of the timg. So I guess this just is a part of timg being a little borked at the moment.

You need a 'youtube.com' (no quotes) line right below the [Overrides] section as well. The .downloaded file does it the same way; a line in the Overrides section, and a section for each override.

I'm very avidly against bookmarking things, I somewhat blame this on Firefox 3's quick-bar being so fantastic in 3.0.

I've been using Opera for about a month now, and the quickbar is horrible. In Firefox I could type in something such as "gmai" and gmail.com would pop up - with Opera, it posts any sort of history/url that had "gmai" in it. So of course, I get all of these random google searches as I typically stay logged in to my gmail account with googling.

Is there a fix for this? I'm assuming its a pretty common request but I didn't see it mentioned in this thread.

It's okay man, Casao is always a little uptight about things, he means well but he's been known to flip out once in a while.

Sort of like a kitten who sleeps on your pillow at night, warm, purring and happy... but every once in a while he'll reach up and extend a claw through one of your eyelids and into your eyeball.

You need a 'youtube.com' (no quotes) line right below the [Overrides] section as well. The .downloaded file does it the same way; a line in the Overrides section, and a section for each override.

ah nice, works perfectly now. Thanks

Anyone know if its possible to get onunload and onbeforeunload functions in Opera by any means? Some sites I visit use these JS event handlers legitimately and it's annoying that Opera completely disregards them...

I can't think of any way other than using the IE tab which is currently my only option.

I like this description.

But really, with Opera link and the web interface, no reason not to use bookmarks - they're available on every PC.
