Opera released a new snapshot for version 12.50 of the browser, codenamed Marlin. Apart from the new Core upgrade, it also integrates a bunch of fresh features and repairs.

The new revision supports text selection via keyboard (toggle on/off using F7 and combine with Shift to select). On Mac, keyboard event handling has been repaired.

The highlights for Core modifications include standardization of color management by adopting ICC profiles. Fullscreen API is now supported, allowing pages and elements in a page to go fullscreen.

Opera 12.50 should be faster as it will come with support for SPDY protocol. The current snapshot bundles in the SPDY Indicator extension that shows the pages loading up using SPDY.
