Apple Seeds Safari 6.0.1 for OS X Lion to Developers

Well Apple know that not everyone will get Mountain Lion straight away so they will continue to support Lion for a while.

Developers also know this and so may choose to continue to develop for Lion as well as Mountain Lion.

So who cares? Obviously Apple do and so do many developers.

When Lion 10.7.5 is released to the public, those who have not yet upgraded to Mountain Lion will also care.

I think Safari for Windows will become significantly more important with iOS 6 and iCloud tabs. I hope Apple is readying a windows launch to coincide with iOS 6 (of course, doesn't really matter to me personally, as I use a Mac)

It appears that Safari for Windows is yesterday's news. Try downloading a copy and you'll see what I mean.

Peace,

Chrome still loads pages significantly faster than Safari in my usage experience. Still has me going back to using Chrome whenever I see that blue Safari progress bar and no page being displayed.

I'd like to hear more about your system.

My experience shows they are similar, which gives me little reason to switch from Safari.

27" 2.8 GHz i7 iMac with 8GB of ram with mountain lion.

The initial time to show a page on safari is noticeably slower compared to chrome 21. Chrome shows page content almost instantly while safari shows nothing for couple seconds.
 
Is this new? There's a new tab button to the right of the bookmarks bar. Didn't notice that in 6.0.
 
I hope the fix the bug of when I try to open multiple tabs and the browser just closes.
 
after this 6 debacle, maybe time to relaunch after extensive beta testing as Odyssey 1.0.

Gah, the entire developer console is screwed atm.

It looks nicer, but it's like 50 times less usable and slower than it used to be.

Absolutely agreed. I like some of the new features, but it's well-nigh unusable at the moment-- Reload a page and wait 2 full minutes for the console to catch up.

But at least they fixed the console.log bug that makes the old inspector just as unusable (for different reasons) for JavaScript debugging.

Any update on Safari for Windows?

Safari for Windows is dead, the software was way too buggy and Apple axed it instead of fixing it. The people working on the Safari and WebKit for Windows ports are no longer with the company.

iCloud control panel version 2 for Windows that is currently in developer test phase only supports Internet Explorer 9. Even http links will ignore the default browser and go for IE straight ahead.

Safari's RSS function was probably axed for the same reason as the Windows version: it was buggy and flawed since Safari 5.1 and Apple wanted to start clean in Mountain Lion.

QFT! Opening a second tab and having it stretch across half the screen is really inconvenient. There was nothing wrong in the way v5 used tabs.

It might be nice if Apple were honest and EOL'd it then, rather than leaving people limping on, hoping for nothing.
 
Safari 6.0 made my website loose 2 finger scrolling on the trackpad?

Just wondering if anyone else found this, with Firefox and Chrome, no worries, however, ever since the 6.0 update with Safari, a Flash based website no longer scrolls with 2 fingers like it did with the pre 6.0 version of Safari.

Can anyone comment on this and if it will be fixed or not in 6.0.1?


I have explained and complained to Apple regarding this and they claim they are aware of this, however no mention of it here so I was curious.


Cheers for any insight
