Eight days after releasing and then quickly pulling Safari 8.0.1 for OS X Yosemite, Apple today released Safari 8.0.2 to the public.

The release notes for Safari 8.0.2 are identical to those for Safari 8.0.1 except for the addition of a line noting the problems with the 8.0.1 release.
- Fixes a rare issue in which some users were unable to access Safari after installing the 8.0.1 update.
Other bundled changes from Safari 8.0.1 include fixes for syncing history across devices, autofilling saved passwords, WebGL performance on Retina displays, and Firefox username and password import.

Update: Apple has also released Safari 7.1.2 for OS X Mavericks and Safari 6.2.2 for OS X Mountain Lion.

I updated to 8.0.1 immediately when it came out, and I've been running 8.0.1 this whole time and haven't experienced a single problem.
 
All kidding aside I really do hope this makes Safari "Snappier" (again).
Safari has felt nearly unusable in Yosemite. I used to be about 75% Safari, 24% Chrome, 1%FireFox & other. but I'm pretty sure since Yosemite it is now closer to 70% Chrome, 20% Safari, 10%FireFox&Other

Also I'm hoping for a good Wifi Fix soon...
 
Look at that quality control. Bravo apple. /s

Quality control? IMO there's no control when something is released then quickly pulled. That's whoops. And with the amount of $ I'm guessing Apple puts into R&D it shouldn't be happening.
 
I wonder if there are significant differences with the Yosemite/Mavricks/Mountain Lion versions.

Hello,

Welcome to the Internet, where "/s" means "sarcasm."

Safari 8.0.2 runs fine, I am on 10.10.2, which includes Safari 8.0.2
(Safari ran fine for me the whole time on 10.10.x - most betas included)

Wifi problems seem to have been fixed in the latest beta, didn't have a single drop since I installed the last beta last week.

using safari on yosemite does seem slower than mavericks.
 
Still hasn't resolved two issues that I am having with Safari on Yosemite. As a web developer, I have several locally-hosted websites using ".dev" top-level domains (www.sitex.dev would correspond to http://www.sitex.com). Prior to Yosemite, Safari would resolve this domain name correctly to the local site, but now it does a web search. I need to add the protocol (http://) on to the front to work around this annoying issue. And secondly, it doesn't offer saved passwords on these local sites, even though passwords are correctly saved in the Keychain. Very annoying. I've resorted to using 1Password for sites that I'm on frequently.
