Software update: Opera 10.0 build 1606

Opera released a new beta release of version 10 of the web browser of the same name on Friday, its second release this week. Opera is free to use and includes features like tabbed browsing, a popup blocker, and an email program with spam filter. In this release the user interface has been tinkered with and several improvements have been made to Opera Unite. In addition, the first 64bit Qt4 builds for Linux have now also become available. This new build is not automatically offered as an update, so if you want to play with it, it will have to be downloaded manually. Below is the full changelog for version 10.0 build 1606:
