Congratulations, the update to version 4.0 is very good, they have managed to polish the translator very well, they just need to improve (rather, incorporate) the issue of being able to automatically delete the download history when exiting the download history, that of recent closed windows , the form autofill data, because deleting the browsing history is not enough.
For now the only errors found are:
1-Mail: the SIZE column does not show any value.
2- F11 - Full screen (in Manjaro): does not work if in SETTINGS-APPEARANCE the option USE NATIVE WINDOW is disabled. -
@adacom Thank you for giving me the link, much appreciated.

Just as faithfully as Vivaldi puts out its major version about two weeks after Chromium's major bump, it's also a rule that mere hours after Vivaldi releases its major version that Chromium will go bump in the night with a security update (this one for 14 issues):

Todayβs update expands our integrated tools in the browser with major additions: Vivaldi Translate and the much-awaited beta versions of Vivaldi Mail, Calendar, and Feed Reader.
In other words, Vivaldi isn't just a browser anymore, it's not just a program that views webpages. It's an internet suite, it handles things like e-mail too.
[W]e aim to give you a real alternative to Big Tech.
And an internet suite is an alterative to Big Tech. Makes me think of how the Internet has changed over the years. Used to be that had actual programs on our computers to handle things like e-mail. And now, we've given that to Big Tech.
Also reminds me that Vivaldi's in an ironic position. It's the browser of the past, it has features that mainstream browsers got rid of. And it's also the browser of the future, by being the first browser to have a new feature before the mainstream browsers copy it.

Congrats on the awesome release! Yet I still weep for 3.6 and my auto-updating desktop wallpapers...
-
@damirh The auto-updating background image will return. It's being worked on. It will just be the new background structure, not the old one.
-
@ayespy I know, I keep checking back every now and then to see if it's in any of the new desktop snapshots.
Speaking of which, I can no longer find the desktop snapshots page on the homepage, was it (re)moved?
-
@mscha: Nope. I think they forgot to ship the commit that fixed that. I think we may get a hotfix soon.
-
@damirh I don't speak "homepage." I just have a link to the unread items on forum, and to the desktop snapshots page on the blog. Haven't noticed that they moved, or anything. But maybe the site map is different now.
-
@ayespy Ah that makes sense. I was usually navigating through the vivaldi.come homepage drop-down, which changed (I presume today)

There are some usability issues with the Mail/Feeds in the Panel and the whole Mail window:
- it works as intended when the Panel is not hidden and you click on the mail icon
- even if the Panel is not hidden and you open Mail from the menu you might wonder where is that Compose button?
It becomes more confusing when the Panel is hidden and even more confusing when Floating Panel is activated
with this setting the panel is overlapping all your mails.
I hope to see improvements here for those users who prefer to hide the Panel.

Not a fan of this "3-in-1" Toggle mail view button concept:
I think a drop-down menu with options would be much better e.g. like Page Tiling button:
-
Congrats on the release.
Set up my mail accounts today and it works wonderfully. Got a few feeds set up too.
The "agenda" feature of the Calendar is genius, I find it very useful. And of course, it's nice to have all of this within one window (the browser).
-
Calendar new compact layout idea
I think it would be nice to have an alternative layout where the calendar would not take up all the space. It could be similar to mail, where you have several panes e.g. 1st pane is for the calendar, others for the Events/Tasks:
