This build implements a much requested option for all you users switching from other browsers.
You can now get that Safari, Firefox, IE tab handling in Opera, too.
To take advantage of that, simply change Preferences > Advanced > Tabs > "When closing a tab"
to your desired behavior:
Activate the last active (default)
Activate the tab to the right
Active the first tab opened from closing tab
Now start closing them tabs like there's no tomorrow!
New known Issues
Opera will not fetch more than 50 new IMAP messages in one go - you'll need to reset the account to get more.
Inline find stops working after entering one letter. (using Ctrl+F still works as expected).
Advanced tab activation currently does not work in the Mac and Linux builds.
Changelog
Added a new preference in Preferences > Advanced > Tabs which controls which tab to activate when closing a tab.
