It looks like the Opera team is planning to keep the classic version of Opera (version 12.x) alive and secure – at least for now.

An update to the pre-Webkit version of Opera was announced yesterday. The new version addresses two Heartbleed vulnerabilities in the update software.

Note that this update is for Windows only. Mac and Linux versions are unaffected.

There doesn’t seem to be a release notes page for this version. The main change log page doesn’t even list version 12.17.
