Version 5
Opera 5, released on December 6, 2000, was the first version which was ad-sponsored instead of having a trial period. Version 5 also supported ICQ, but this was dropped from later versions.
Opera supported OS/2 for the first time, requiring WarpIN and Odin to be installed.
Opera 5.10 (April 2001) was the first version to recognize mouse gestures, but this feature was disabled by default.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
