I think people with 10.4.10 don't need the security update.I tried to install it and it wouldn't let me.

It showed up for my 2.5 G5 and my 17 high-res MBPro. Just fyi. ;-)
(also running Safari 2.0.4)


(Also for, G4 iMac (about 4 years old) and a 23 inch Intel iMac runin 10.4.10 also.)

I'd be interested to hear if Safari 3.0.2 fixes the bugs that the previous beta caused in Mail.

are you referring to the bug where mail hangs when you click the reply or forward buttons? it took me a few hours to figure out it was safari that was the problem, and not a corrupted mail app.

Ugh, I was hoping to try it at work on Monday but it sounds like it's still not going to work :(

Even 3.0.0 worked fine with proxy under Windows. I believe you have to have proper proxy settings in IE, and Safari'll pick them up.

This release fixed page display issues under Windows (with default language setting for non-unicode apps different from english) ... finaly!
 
Argh! Still the problem with not allowing translucent Adium messages!

And still no scale to fit on pictures (although Safari 2 had this)

3.0.2 still didn't fix the fact that the white headlines within the red bar on the MR front page news items are wayyyy tooo booold. As is everything else. It is so thick and blurry. So much for text display fixes.

Text looks identical in both Safari 3.0.2b (top) and Camino (bottom):

Well it fixed the font style in the windows version. Before it was some funky looking text, now it looks a hell of a lot more normal. Makes things alot easier to read. Thank god, I might start using it again.
 
Safari for Windows has always worked great for me. Yeah the text was a bit blurry and this update fixes that.

I am glad Apple is on top of things with the quick updates. If they continue this pace maybe Apple can gain some real browser marketshare. I know everytime I am on a pc it's either Firefox or now Safari!

Since initial release some people have had a problem with Safari prompting them to log in to the WebURLProtectionSpaceProxyHTTP. No username/password combinations worked, and often crashed Safari if you tried them. In my case, IE and FF both work fine, out of the box. (IE was installed when I got the box, naturally, and I installed FF myself. No special setup required.) So this has nothing to do with having the proper settings somewhere else. This is a Safari bug, and I (among others) can't even try Safari for Windows until this bug gets fixed.

Haha. Somehow the update removed the Safari icon in my Dock.

Dock icons? Oh yeah...those things for people who haven't discovered Quicksilver yet!

One thing I HATE about Safari 3, that wasn't in Safari 2 with SafariStand, is that it red-underlines (with no suggestions) words after ..., its awful...

IE works fine but Safari 3.0 and 3.0.1 both crash a few seconds after opening. If I'm quick, I can navigate to an internal site such as our intranet or organisation's website and view that, but it crashes as soon as I try to view an external server.
 
Safari update

Safari must be in Applications folder, not in a sub folder or the update won't work!
 
I repeat my request to apple of making security situation and method clear and give users better way of dealing security problem rather than these big patches without detailed information, and leave users no control of their own security situation.
 
Well I just had my first major crash with OS X Safari 3.02 - after just one hour of use - so it's going to be uninstalled and I'm back onto Firefox again.
