Posted by pudge on from the update-come-and-it-no-delete-home dept.

Jack Kennedy writes "Apple has released Safari 1.0 Beta v51. Unfortunately, Apple don't list what the update addresses; according to Apple, 'this Safari Update is recommended for all Safari users.' Dave Hyatt's Weblog provides a more detailed account of what issues Apple have addressed over the past few days."

    I noticed it b0rks some shopping carts with a lot of java, namely crystalfontz's cart. Maybe this new build will solve that.

      I just had problems updating my comparison cart a short while ago with a fresh downloaded version on dvdpricesarch.com and have just filed a bug on this. It would appear that Safari is not currently letting you replace older persistent cookie values with newer ones which is probably messing your cart as well.

    The bugs I reported haven't been fixed:

    * HTTPS doesn't work at all for me over a proxy. I think it is using SSL to talk to the proxy which isn't right. It should connect to the proxy in the clear and then issue a CONNECT and then use SSL. Anybody seen this one?

    * "don't use proxy for these hosts/domains" setting is treated as hosts only (so if you put in "foo.com" then you visit "www2.ecommerce.foo.com" the proxy gets used anyway).

    * keychain entries of the form "http://host.com:80" are ignored, and it adds its own "http://host.com" entry.

    Anybody notice any concrete differences?

  3. Unfortunately still no tabs by Ma�djeurtam · · Score: 4, Interesting

    OK, I'm not trolling here, it would have been really amazing if Apple had added supports for tabbed browsing in only two days. And I understand they haven't.

    I've read somewhere that David Hyatt himself told that the tabs were planned for the final release and that the lack of tabs in current beta's is only due to their deadline. Allegedly, they wouldn't have had time to program tabs support (which is strange since they are working on it for one year now and that Cocoa should make things like adding tabs support quite easy to implement).

    Does anyone have real information about that?

  4. One bug by inertia187 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One bug I submitted that has not been address is when clicking on an HREF with a hash, JavaScript doesn't have access to the value, like in this example (shown source intended):

    Example

    Safari yields an alert that just contains a single "#" character. Other browsers will say "#hash" instead.

  5. crash and burn... by mojoNYC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i dl'ed safari and it worked slick...until it crashed--now, everytime i try to launch it, it starts up and then eventually crashes...(i'm using osx 10.2, btw) i dl'ed the supposedly upgraded beta (v51), but same results--also, it looks identical to the first beta (get info on both just says '1.0 beta'). i'd like to report this to apple using their nifty little bug button, but it's kinda hard when the app won't even open up;>
