The first Opera developer 66.0.3472.0 ;-)
The change log, and the announcement.

There's no Linux builds for this version.

History panel in the sidebar

Some time ago, we introduced a brand new look and layout for bookmarks.

We’re expanding that design to your History page in the sidebar, which will now open in a panel. From that panel, you’ll be able easily get back to previously visited websites, clear your browsing data, and reopen your recently closed tabs. There’s also a search field on top, to help you find the exact page you’re looking for. Choosing the Show full History view at the bottom, will take you directly to the internal History page.

Known issue: Settings page might crash.

Some of the changes, fixes and improvements:
- DNA-79807 Maintain list of blocked elements per site, per list.
- DNA-81580 Speed dials’ colours change after Opera update.
- DNA-81525 Crash at opera::ParseFreedomProxyResponseHeaders(net::HttpResponseHeaders const&.
