Vivaldi 6.2, toujours plus performant et plus pratique

La nouvelle version de Vivaldi, pour vos ordinateurs sous Windows, MacOS et Linux, est disponible aujourd’hui.

 

 

 

La principale nouveauté se cache « sous le capot » et consiste en une restructuration importante de la gestion des fenêtres au sein du code de l’interface utilisateur, en exploitant une API intéressante offerte par React, nommée Portal.

André Schultz, responsable de cette grosse restructuration du code, explique que la nouvelle architecture consiste à définir toutes les fenêtres au sein d’un seul document, avec un seul contexte de scripts ; alors que, depuis le début (2013), chaque fenêtre de Vivaldi était gérée dans un document séparé. Seules les fenêtres de navigation privée continuent à être gérées dans leur propre contexte.

N’hésitez pas à lire la documentation technique de React Portal pour approfondir ces APIs.

Cela aura pour conséquence une ouverture de nouvelles fenêtres bien plus rapide (37% de gain sur les machines de test par rapport aux versions précédentes) et une consommation de ressources (mémoire) réduite.

Vous avez aussi pu constater, sur une de nos précédentes versions Desktop, un des autres intérêts de l’adoption du Windows Portal : la possibilité de gérer tous les onglets de toutes les fenêtres dans le panneau latéral de n’importe quelle fenêtre ! À l’avenir, il devrait même être possible d’afficher le courrielleur dans n’importe quelle fenêtre, alors qu’il n’est actuellement géré que dans une seule fenêtre.

 

 

Parmi les autres nouveautés de Vivaldi 6.2, citons:

• La possibilité de choisir quelles informations afficher au sein du menu déroulant de la barre d’adresses (signets, historique de navigation et des saisies, alias, recherches…) et d’en définir les priorités.

• Réintégration du service de Géolocalisation natif de MacOS (Apple Location Service) pour les sites qui ont besoin de ces informations.
• Un bouton d’ouverture du dialogue de suppression des données de navigation fait son apparition directement dans le panneau latéral d’historique de navigation.

• Les flux RSS sont désormais plus facile à trouver : Comme nous croyons au web ouvert et aux normes ouvertes, nous avons rendu les fils d’actualité plus faciles à découvrir, les fils étant détectés sur davantage de sites Web. Cliquez sur l’icône du lecteur de flux dans le champ d’adresse pour suivre les mises à jour de la plupart de vos journaux en ligne et blogs préférés directement dans Vivaldi.

Nouveautés pour le courrielleur v.1.7 intégré à Vivaldi 6.2

• La présentation des critères de filtrage des messages pour chaque boîte a été rendue plus lisible, soit via l’adoption d’un menu déroulant avec texte et icônes, ou la possibilité d’afficher les critères de filtrage en bouton textuel, en fonction du mode d’affichage choisi dans Vivaldi Courrier.

• La méthode d’authentification OAuth est désormais supportée pour l’accès à l’excellent service de messagerie électronique Fastmail.

 

La mise à jour en version 6.2 se fera automatiquement, si vous n’avez pas désactivé cette option. Vous pouvez télécharger la version de Vivaldi adaptée à votre système sur le site officiel. N’hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos critiques ou commentaires sur cette version sur le forum ou dans des commentaires sous cet article. Bon surf avec Vivaldi !
