Opera 10.63 is now available to download for Windows, Mac and Linux. If you already use Opera, it should have informed you that there's a recommended update available, or it may have downloaded and installed it by itself (if you previously allowed it to do that without asking).
There are no new bells and whistles in this version, but there are many security enhancements, bug fixes and various improvements. Among the worst offenders that have been squashed in 10.63 are Opera Link (the bookmark sync feature) freezing on startup, 100% CPU usage seen when starting Opera, some JavaScript-related issues including one on Yahoo Mail, and, my favorite, a bug that, when reloading a page, opened multiple download windows that couldn't be closed.
Opera's engineers are hard at work on the next big version, 10.70, which will be filled with new features when it lands. By the time that happens though, Google's Chrome may have already overtaken it in terms of version numbers. Whether that's good, bad, or completely irrelevant is for you to decide.
