16:56 sounds like a correct build-time, so that might be a way of
identifying the latest build. Another way of telling if you have the
first or the last build, is to look at the personal bar. If you can read
it, you probably have the last build...

That was the timestamp on the file, but we all agreed in that the build-
machine had completely wrong time set.

If you find this newsgroup fun and amusing, you can just imagine how it
was in the office today... (It's not that long ago I posted negative
comments 'from the outside' about the Opera way of handling releases, and
now I am taking part of the chaos myself. Bummer. (And for the interested
minds: What happened was that we built an internal release from something
that was supposed to be a closed branch. The branch turned out to not be
closed, and some wrong files had been comitted, and to top it all we
forgot to mark the build as internal. Sue gets the build, notice it is
not marked internal, and as the kind person she is - posts to opera.beta.
(repeat for another one-and-a-half build))).
Opera - entertainment for the newsers!
