First build of Opera 10.5 is totally awesome!

"Opera has finally released an alpha build of Opera with Presto 2.3 or greater, Presto 2.5 to be more precise in Opera 10.5 (http://www.webmasterworld.com/opera_browser/4047928.htm). There's a ton of new awesome in this build. First and foremost Presto 2.3 introduced Vega (http://www.webmasterworld.com/redirect.cgi?f=118&d=4047928&url=http://my.opera.com/core/blog/2009/02/04/vega) which is Opera's vector graphics library. For Opera it makes implementing certain things easier but it barrels down to CSS3 properties for web designers like myself. Since there are no official Presto spec pages beyond Presto 2.3 I'll just list the big-hitters outright: border-radius (rounded corners), multiple-background image support per element, border-image support, box-shadow, and 2D transforms. Opera has also made a bit of history by being the first browser vendor to make these properties available without vendor specific prefixes".
