Apple today released Safari version 2.0.1 for Mac OS X Tiger via Software Update which, according to Apple’s notes, “improves website compatibility, application stability and support for 3rd party web applications.
The Safari version 2.0.1 for Mac OS X Tigerstandalone installer (4.5 MB) is here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/safariupdate201.html
MacDailyNews Note: Scroll bars now seem to work correctly in framed pages with Safari 2.0.1.
Apple today also released Safari version 1.3.1 for Mac OS X Panther which also “improves website compatibility, application stability and support for 3rd party web applications.”
The Safari version 1.3.1 for Mac OS X Panther standalone installer (3.8MB) is here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/safariupdate131.html
Okay, can anyone translate “improves website compatibility, application stability and support for 3rd party web applications” into plain English and let us know what the fixes really are?
in other words Safari wont quit on you when your using you mighty mouse.
teh snappier
re:TommyBoy
it means something close to “Safari 2.0 sucks royal arse, try this update”
Too late, Apple. I got tired of Safari locking up on me and the spinning beach ball of death. Firefox has my browser business, now.
Never locked up on me.
Does anyone know if there is a good Safari plugin for filling out on-line forms and managing ids/passwords.
The Autofill in Safari sucks
Why didn’t Apple just release a finished OS. How many updates already?
Anyone know what SAFT is? First run on Safari 1.3.1 says it’s not supported and wouldn’t let me start up until I told it not to load saft. I’m runnning 10.3.9
“Why didn’t Apple just release a finished OS. How many updates already?”
Perhaps since you can anticipate every single problem an OS will have, because the software market is so static, you should consider getting a job as Apple’s vice president of software engineering.
and to answer your stupid question, typically there are 8 or 9
Firefox for me on both Windows and Macs.

Firefox sucks
I can’t imagine there is any such thing as “a finished OS.”
Cutman–
Maybe we should wait a few years and only get updates when some malicious SOB has already infiltrated our computers?
Good idea.

(No, I don’t use it.)
For the first time after restart, Spotlight didn’t have to sync.

idiot
“Why didn’t Apple just release a finished OS. How many updates already?”
suck sh*t pr*ck-face. os 10.4 is amazing. i’ve never had a problem with it and for that matter 10.3. you really must be a retarded bastard to not know how to use 10.4 without it blowing up in your face…a complete idiot
Cutman:
That is a really stupid question. Have you ever heard about “evolution”? In that case, Why does Henry Ford made the “T” model instead of made a Mustang in the first place? Why Sir Isaac Newton didn’t came with the Relativity theory instead of the laws he develop or Linear Algebra instead of the calculus?
Developeing something (and Science and other branchs of knowledge) are developed as if you were climbing a ladder, but making a rung at a time then step on that rung so you are a litte bit higher and so on. You step on the rung of your knowledge to develop more knowledge, a step at a time.
If you wait until a version of the OS is perfect and bullet-proof (or idiot-proof, for that matter) you will never get a final product.
“Improves website compatibility, application stability and support for 3rd party web applications” for me means it no longer crashes when I have multiple pages loading in tabs in one window.
1. i share the major gripe: safari locks up all the time (especially with quicktime)
2. i do not share the low expectations (and remarkably uninformed comments) by rick & hammer …
* mac users expect their tools to be built properly – hencethe credo “it just works”. the plug-and-play franchise is a crucial compoenent of the apple brand. to mess with that is to court disaster (ie ms junkland).
* software can – AND SHOULD – be designed (or at least tested) to be error free … model-checking, verification tools, theorem-provers, proof-carrying code, etc all are used in mission-critical apps all the time (for both hardware & software).
it is possible to mathematically prove the correctness (or any other policy) of a design and/or an implemenation.
of course it sad but true that apple has not been a leader in this area (just as it has missed the boat on aspect-oriented programming, generative programming, and a host of other modern techniques that IBM & Microsoft inter alia are aggressively developing) … the fact that apple doesnt even ship a UML tool as part of XCODE speaks volumes about what is not going right in cupertino ….
in any case, validation (eg SPIN before or even SDL afterwards) is entirely possible — so people who dont know what they are talking about should not embarrass themselves by proving it!
so that excludes rick & hammer – and sad to say, it would seem, to also apply to the safari team (not to mention so many others at apple which have contributed to such a buggy platform nearly 10 years after it was acquired from next!)
i updated, restarted and lost the connection to my wireless network on my pb. i’m fscking pissed!!!!. beware!@!!
Cutman’s lonely. He misses the new, long awaited arrival of gasware from MS…..Phista
He sees all the cool things in Tiger and hes just getting jealous.
