If Apple's page says Panther, then believe me, it's for Panther.
 
GOTO the "software" section...and click on Safari...

don't go straight to support/downloads...

it's there...

it does seem a little fast to me...but a quick test shows me that firebird is still clearly faster...but i don't like the way their tabs work and that's enough to keep me using safari...

tabs

I dont like that I have to right-click to get the "open in new tab"-option. I want this to be an one-click operation.
 
Pith Helmet Fix For Safari 1.2:

open /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/
Right click (control+click) PithHelmet.bundle and select show package contents
Open the Contents folder and from there open the info.plist file in either textedit or Property List Editor if you have the dev tools installed
Find where it says MaxSafariBundleVersion and change the value to 125
Save and restart safari. thats it, now it works.
 
I open software update and I see

Software update File edit help

across the top? Nothing else. In the help section it says a box should open but I have one? And I'm using Panther.

Great, when you open a new window up it now appears directly ontop of the other window! Anchored to the top left.

i'd like it if it did do that...but that's not how it's working for me...huh...? it's still staggering them...

- Downloads do not show the speed you are download at, but gives you a time estimate. Any way to change this?
- When you press tab, it's like IE. Keyboard navigation. Is there any way to turn it off? I hate it.
- New reload button. Well, it's facing a different direction.
- Scrolling seems smoother.

A bit disappointed with the new features.

Thanks man, good tip!🙂 Should have Panther installed in a few days so I'll update Safari then and give it a shot. 🙂
 
Is there any reason why this is Panther only? There are a couple of new features but it is generally more of a bug fix. The 1.0 version that you get with Jaguar was buggy - I could not use it for secure sites behind the uni firewall. This was automatically fixed when I upgraded to Jaguar (and 1.1). Why not just give Jaguar users the latest version?
 
After installing the Java update, safari crashed on me every time I tried to open the darn thing. I ended up rebooting, and running fsck. Everything is OK now, however I was really starting to get worried.
 
Apple does not play nice with us Jaguar users.. 🙁

But it´s no use for me getting Panther now, because in just a few months a new version will come, and Apple will no longer play nice with Panther users.. :/
 
Now when you're downloading, the icon on your desktop (Or wherever you're saving it) shows the progress bar. Nice.
 
Font sizes are all screwed up, everything is smaller. Annoying.

Tabbing to all elements in forms is great, but why can't I press a key to jump between elements in a list that start with that letter without bringing the list down first? And then it doesn't cycle through them, just steps through them once.

Did you not reboot after installation?

I suspect that Apple is getting it right when it says a reboot is needed.

Doesn't open pop-up pages(like links on message boards) in the same window. 🙁

This is a function of the way the page was written on the site you are on. There may be a way Apple can override this ability in Safari but they haven't as yet obviously.

I usually command click these links so they open in a tab in the current window. Personally I like the links to not load in the current window. If they did then I would have to click the back arrow typically to go back the site I was on in order to finish reading the site.
