Well, 8225 would be the Feb 17 build, right? I run Linux, and the build
number was 1656... I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to add a date
string to the build version for the weeklys. This gets confusing. :/

Anyhow... for me, the Feb 17 build was still deleting *all* cookies and
wand data for a site, if the site was deleted from site-specific prefs.
That appears to be fixed. In TP2, the individual cookies were not visible
under site-specific prefernces. Now they show, and can be double clicked
for detailed information.

IOW, I have to disagree. It's better. It's not complete, but it's better.

Just remember that these are only previews. Opera 9 itself may yet be a
long way off. The fat lady has not sung, yet. :)
