Apple Seeds Safari 4 to Developers

let me say that Etrade pro runs buttery smooth on my OS X. Compared to my windows platform, java runs nice.

No lockups,crashes etc.. solid which is important when trading :)

Any idea when SquirrelFish will be in the Webkit nightly builds?

It already is, that's how Macrumors found out, from the WebKit blog.

In theory for the java based web applications.

Java is not JavaScript, while both share the first 4 letters, and both are evil, they're not the same.

Webkit already has. So I'd imagine Safari 4 will too, and probably Safari 3.2 will as well...

Safari 3.2 isn't likely if Apple is already working on 4.

Safari 4 sounds good. There must be some new features in Snow Leopard, however, or else what's the point in buying it? Leopard runs really fast on my new MBP anyway - I wouldn't really notice a 50% speed increase - certainly not to warrant buying another £80.

Stability, improvements to the underlying architecture, more speed, hopefully it'll take up less space (if they were to drop PPC the binaries would get smaller), getting the kernel to 64-bit, Quicktime X, and OpenCL. If you're running Leopard and don't want to buy Snow Leopard that's fine, but the install base of Snow Leopard will probably end up surpassing Leopard since all new Macs will be sold with Snow Leopard when it does come out, and of course a lot of people will upgrade anyway for the improvements in speed and stability, even if you're not one of them.

That Can't be right

Safari 4 only gets to 98% in the Acid 3 test (I've just tried it)... :confused:

The webkit nightlies have been able to pass with 100/100 for a month or two now, so I hope that Safari 4 is able to do so. As an aside, has anyone run Acid3 with the new squirrelfish engine? It seems it can run it almost perfectly now. In the three times I ran it, it actually animated smoothly through once, which I believe was the last hurdle for perfect compliance.

People pay huge amounts for new computer's that in certain tests will give a 10-15% performance gain, but $129 isn't worth it for a 50% speed increase? I guess that MacBook Pro must have replaced your Mac 128k.

I don't see safari 4 on the developer connection anywhere, it must be only for actual paying ADC members....
