Cool, I hope this fixes Safari's crashability. (Only today was I updating my software like Java and iPhone Configuration Utility, but not iTunes).

 

[Sky Blue]

Now release 10.6.7

 

[N10248]

Installed - it needs a restart, seems the same as before

 

[shartypants]

Cool, not sure I saw any of those problems, but nice they are fixed so I don't have to.

 

[Eidorian]

The address bar suggestions are still flaky.

 

[clientsiman]

Just in time for Pwn2Own 2011.

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Here's mine.

 

[lucabrasi]

No mention of addressing memory leaks, though I'm not sure if they would actually list that. That's really the only thing keeping me from using Safari.

 

[g-boac]

wow - substantially snappier!!

 

[Atheistpaladin]

The address bar suggestions are still flaky.

Agreed. They need to fix that and add search function to the address bar before I will return to Safari. I don't care how snappy it is

 

[AnonMac50]

It doesn't even show in my Software Updates list.

Not sure why Apple hasn't made a big deal, but it looks like Apple TV is getting an update as well. It adds MLB AND NBA streaming.

 

[sdtaco]

Having issue syncing all my photos. Use to be a smaller version loaded up to the phone now its syncing the full size file.

Beware...

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Posterous seems to load a little faster and Firefox 4 rc 1 is out.

Not sure why Apple hasn't made a big deal, but it looks like Apple TV is getting an update as well. It adds MLB AND NBA streaming.

I wonder if this signals that an app store will be on the horizon? Or are they just going to add apps themselves....hmm..

 

[ksgant]

Most enthusiastically contrafribularitistic snappier. Anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuously snappier!

But I have to reboot with the upgrade...so I shall return, interfrastically.

 

[Joe-Diver]

Wow...it really pops now...so much more responsive than before.

 

[zin]

It's getting to the point where I can't tell if you people are actually saying it's snappier.

 

[Popeye206]

Looks like it's update day/week! Sweet!

Yes... Safari does seem snappier. I hope it works better with Yahoo... Yahoo mail is such a slug at times.

 

[silentnite]

My safari has never moved this quick, this is what I call an update.

 

[petvas]

I don't see any difference with before, at least on my MBA. I will also test on my Mac Pro.

Excited about the screen saver fix. Now I can watch Netflix without having to change my screensaver settings. Which, btw, was an "ahhh" moment when I originally switched to a Mac. How cool it was that OS X wouldn't turn your screensaver on when a video was playing! Glad it's back.

Oftentimes people think a program got faster from an update when in fact the speedup was a result of relaunching it or restarting the computer.

I got from 452.5ms(1 test) to (first test 429ms) 417.8ms(second test) in sunspider 0.9.1.
