UNIX specific:
- Added extra warning dialog when opening .sh, .desktop or
executables directly from Web or from transfer manager with
kfmclient exec. Addresses issue reported in Secunia Advisory
SA13447, http://secunia.com/advisories/13447/

http://www.opera.com/linux/changelogs/754u2/
- Few other small cleans up.
- Let's see if Realplayer plugins will work for anyone. It's not tested, but
added support. I am not going to be surpised if the support is limited as
common in the Linux world.
security fixes:
Severity: Moderate/high
========================
- Tightened origin check for frames. A side effect of this is that
documents not passing the origin check will open in a new page.
- Fixed issue reported by Marc Schonefeld: intrusive JavaScript or
Java applet could exploit Sun Java vulnerability to retrieve
logged-in user's username and install directory.
- Fixed LiveConnect class access security issue reported by Jouko
Pynnonen.
- Fixed Secunia issue SA12981, reported by Andreas Sandblad: periods
in the file name and non-breaking spaces in content-type header type
could obscure the file type.
- Fixed Secunia issue SA13253: "hi-jacking" a named browser window.
- Improved support for the "must-revalidate" cache directive.

www/opera:
- The maintainer has asked me to babysitting this while he's away for
vacation. He is gone for about five weeks started last Thursday.
- Some tweak with the plugins, I have added jdk13 and jdk14 support
but I have no idea if they will work since I don't have any FreeBSD
4.x to test. Please let me know if there has any issue.
- Does the spellcheck feature works in FreeBSD 4.x? Please, contract
me on this one too. If it works, then I will need to add a dependency
of aspell with a new WITHOUT_ASPELL knob.
- See the changelog for detail:
http://www.opera.com/freebsd/changelogs/753/
www/linux-opera:
- I didn't update it to 7.52, because it still doesn't fix the security
and the plugins was broke. The 7.53 has solved all of this to allow
me to update it.
- Please read in pkg-message about the changes of search.ini if you
have a custom of it. You will have to edit it or it will not work.
- See the changelog for detail:
7.52 = http://www.opera.com/linux/changelogs/752/
7.53 = http://www.opera.com/linux/changelogs/753/
- Use DOCSDIR.
- Rename everything from opera to linux-opera, no longer in conflict
with www/opera.
- Handle the dependenies better for linux_base(8).
- Handle the better check if GNOME and KDE exist.
- Now, it will auto find flash plug-in by automatic without have to
copy in plugins directory by manual. Finally got it works, really!

Note that plugins won't work unless you happen to have a Linux version of
Motif (or OpenMotif) installed; there is no linux-openmotif port (yet) so
you'll have to figure this one out on your own. Once you do, though, both
www/linux-flashplugin and java/linux-jdk13 should work with no further
tweaks (as should any other Netscape-compatible plugin that installs into
${PREFIX}/lib/netscape-linux/plugins). Happy browsing!
linked in - the dynamically linked version is slightly smaller, but there
is no linux-qt port yet and I'm not about to create one)
Now the best browser on earth is available on the best OS on earth :)
