Opera Software has just released a new version of the Opera desktop browser bringing the stable channel of the browser to version 11.61. Opera users should receive update notifications in the browser, those who do not want to wait for them to pop up can run a manual update check the following way: A click on Opera > Help > Check for Updates runs a manual check for updates.
The browser should pick up the new version information from the server and display an update window right away. A click on Download and Install updates the browser to the latest version.
Opera 11.61 is a stability and security upgrade, which makes it a recommended update for all Opera users. Two security issues are fixed in the new version, one that allowed manipulation of framed content to allow cross-site scripting, and another were script events "could be used to reveal the presence of local files".
The change log lists about 50 additional changes and fixes that went into the new version of the browser. This includes several crash related fixes, including the following ones:
Interested users can access all change logs on this page. Opera 11.61 has been released for all supported operating systems. New users and those who do not want to use the internal updater can download the latest version of the browser from the official Opera download page. It is suggested to update as soon as possible to fix the security vulnerabilities in the browser.

Hope they’ve fixed the lag. Until recently the browser popped up in 0 seconds flat. Then it got balky about loading. Bringing up a page also got slower.
sounds great, can’t wait to check it out
I think I’ll wait for the next version of Opera 12 – Next

I love opera, i don’t like that chrome take all the credit, chrome did not do anything , they just copy all the great stuff that opera and firefox has.
Big problem, if you set off the option to display close button on each tab, 11.60 and previous put an standar set of min,max close buttons for each tab, below the program bar, but with 11.61, this buttons disapear, but the function are still there if you are clever enough to click te right spot, what a shame, what happen opera you where cool..
that is national good…
