Having so many replies make comments ridiculously narrow… :)Opera 12 was supposed to have – as you said – “Ragnarök, Major mail client interface changes, HWA, WebGL, HTML5″.”64-bit Windows version and Out of process plugins” on the other hand were not supposed to be in 12 final. If you can prove it otherwise, please do so. They were introduced as Labs releases, with no exact release date or version given, and a few days after 11.60 final was released (Dec 15. vs. Dec 6.).Because HWA implementation progressed slowly (not surprisingly, as they aimed – and still aim – to the most complete, stable and widely available implementation), they did not want to delay other features because of that, so they have released 11.60, which contained everything 12 supposed to have, except HWA, WebGL and “Personas”.Then they have moved on, continuing their work on HWA and WebGL while adding new features beside them, like 64-bit editions, OOPP, CSS animations and transitions, DirectX implementation of HWA, drag’n'drop, improved address bar, Opera Reader and camera support to name a few.Actually we did not know since when they were working on these stuffs, but the final Opera 12 will contain significantly more features as originally planned (and later, of course).And I expect some more to come…
