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.

  2. hmmm... by Dr.+Awktagon · · Score: 5, Interesting

    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?
