Something for the weekend – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3201.4
-
I have just forced the check for updates and my download was 49 mb, almost a full installer but not quite there, so there were LOTS of differences and this time delta couldn't work very well.
-
@killchain Have a look at the end of "%TEMP%\vivaldi_installer.log". If there is nothing personal in there you could attach it to a bug report and give me the bug number.
This is a small part of my log where you can see it downloading and extracting the delta without issue
[1125/095210.525:INFO:update_notifier_manager.cc(598)] Newer version is available: 6.5.3201.4 > 6.5.3189.3 [1125/095210.525:INFO:updatedownloader.cc(636)] Downloading a delta update from https://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot-auto/Vivaldi.6.5.3189.3-6.5.3201.4.x64.delta.7z.cab [1125/095231.587:INFO:updatedownloader.cc(659)] Delta was downloaded and successfully extracted.

@iAN-CooG Yes Vivaldi.6.5.3189.3-6.5.3201.4.x64.delta.7z.cab is 46Mb and Vivaldi.6.5.3189.3-6.5.3201.4.delta.7z.cab 49Mb. The large sizes of these this time is because we jumped two major Chromium versions.
Nonetheless this is still A LOT smaller than the full installers, Vivaldi.6.5.3201.4.x64.exe is 112Mb and Vivaldi.6.5.3201.4.exe is 89Mb.

Good pointer, thanks!
I think it answers my question. One of the lines goes like this:
[1125/121143.569:ERROR:install_worker.cc(155)] Failed creating a firewall rules. Continuing with install.
I'm not sure what is trying to create firewall rules, but I'll be sure to check my firewall's rules next time. If it's that, then sorry for the false positives I reported.
If my suspicion is correct, then deltas and full installers are downloaded from different places, and a possible misconfiguration on my part blocks the deltas but not full installers. Does that sound right to you?
-
Yeah, now adding Contacts in Panel is working.
-
now vivaldi:// urls in panel with a proper V logo icon, nice
-
I fall asleep last night waiting for a snapshot and now I found a nice present on my desktop! Thanks @Ruarí! Have a nice weekend!
-
@killchain Creating firewall rules does only work if you had run Installer as Administrator in mode Advanced and install type "For All Users"; with installation type "Standalone" or "Install for User" the installer can not change firewall.

18th and updated
A lot of fixes -
It seems to me that this version does not refresh feeds in the given time.
-
@tonci-razmilic Some changes were made:
[Feeds] Overhaul feed polling and caching logic
What periods are set for polling your feeds in settings?
-
@Pesala
15 min -
@tonci-razmilic How are you checking this? What indicator are you looking at? Vivaldi should attempt to recheck at the set interval (within one minute of accuracy, updates happen in batches once per minute). Any particular feeds where you don’t see updates in the feed reader but you do see updates when loading the feed as a normal page in Vivaldi?
You can see the log of feed retrievals if you go to vivaldi://inspect, click on Apps, inspect main.html, go to the Network tab, and wait. The Console tab in the same dialog will let you know of any errors.

Hi, I can confirm the lost of pages/folder thumbnails now.
I guess after sync with my snapshot on Android the issue appears.
You can update the thumbnails for a folder in vivaldi://bookmarks/ > Update Thumbnails > right top.Cheers, mib

It's a user install, so I assume autoupdate spawned from the browser process won't have administrator privileges. But then again why would it write to the log that it would attempt dealing with the firewall?

Pretty useful tip; works well enough as a workaround, thanks! I haven't thought about it.

Hi, you can ask about the status of a bug report in the bug status thread:https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue/
Check the change logs, if VB-101149 was not listed there, it is not fixed!
Cheers, mib

Lost of Speed Dial Thumbs
The bug remove only page thumbnails but not custom thumbnails, fortunately, I have a lot of them.Cheers, m9ib

"Pressing Enter in address bar is slow with large history (VB-99872)"
Thanks! What a huge improvement (restoration of function, actually) in my Vivaldi usage. I type in URLs a lot and the delay in starting to load the page was really irritating. Now, problem solved.

After this last version the - already problematic - mail filtering & tagging stopped working at all. Even the filters/tags that were functioning before they are now "dead". It seems I'll have to delete every filter/tag and start from scratch hoping that this "reset" might work.
