Opera 9 TP2 will be including a preview in this improvement. However Opera emphasizes that the TP (technical preview) version is likely to contain some bugs and therefore Opera advises to use it for preview purposes only.

The official press release states:

Opera Software today announced that it has teamed with BitTorrent Inc. to include the BitTorrent™ protocol in the upcoming version of the Opera Web browser. Integrating this popular technology in the Opera browser means faster and more efficient downloads of large files.

Opera and BitTorrent have signed an agreement covering Opera’s use of the BitTorrent trademark and access to the BitTorrent search engine from the browser’s user interface. A technical preview (TP) of the Opera 9 browser will be made available soon.

With this new release Opera stays ahead of the popular Firefox browser. Bittorrent support for Firefox is expected later this year, either by allpeers or moztorrent.

Consumer Linux distributor Linspire has released its new Mozilla-based Linspire Internet Suite. The new program is an enhanced version  of the Mozilla Application Suite with several additional features developed for Linspire by the Mozdev Group. One feature -dubbed Hot Words- lets users easily search for any term on a Web page or in an email using a variety of Google services and also adds as-you-type inline spellchecking to Web forms and email composition. Another feature called MailMinder lets users defer email messages and have them resent at a later date. The Linspire Internet Suite also includes PhoneGaim, an enhanced version of the Gaim multi-protocol instant messaging client with support for SIPphone Internet telephony. More information is available in a message from Linspire founder Michael Robertson.

Mozdev Group Chief Operations Officer Brian King writes: "We at Mozdev Group were very excited to work on what we feel is the strongest Mozilla distribution out there, and continue to collaborate with Linspire on upcoming releases and new projects. Find out more about the collaboration on our press release and client profile. Linspire is committed to giving as much code as possible back to Mozilla, as can be seen with Neil Deakin's recent patch for inline as-you-type spellchecking in bug 58612."
