I've been using it since last night (someone tipped me off that it was on their FTP server before they officially announced it), and I must say I'm impressed. They added/fixed all but one of the features I wanted, and, more importantly, so far it's been much more stable than 7.0x. You can now middle click on a tab to close it, something which I'm very used to from Mozilla. You still can't middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab, but I do that less often anyways. I always liked the idea of having the progress bar pop up, but I hated how they implemented it by covering the bottom of the page & scrollbar. That's still the default in 7.10, but you can now set it to instead use the address bar instead. I'd still prefer it to either pop up like it did before, but bump the page up instead of covering it, or have it use the status bar, but this is a big improvement. Lastly, you can now drag items on the personal bar around w/o spending hours trying to get lucky.
Oh, and while browsing around the ftp server I found another Opera release which still isn't mentioned on the site...beta's of 7.10 for Linux :cool:
Edit: I forgot to mention one last problem I had with 7.0x...if you had too many bookmarks in a menu with them they'd get pushed off the edge of the screen. 7.10 creates submenus for bookmark menus that won't fit on the screen. IMO, that's much better than scrolling too.
