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.. :/
As the mantra goes.. Keep Apple's coffers full if you want anything new.. including a browser or java update.
$120 for an upgrade.. 🙄

Did you even try changing the settings in prefs?

There are two options one to highlight input boxes and one to highlight all links. You can change them so one will be tab and the other will be option-tab your choice.
 
I give u Panther updates #20 and 21 (thses are based on ALL updates since Nov. 1st but does not include iLife)

If it makes you feel any better, M$ doesn't play any nicer with Windows 98 or ME users either. That's just the nature of the beast these days...
 
I just installed Safari 1.2 on my Mac OS X 10.2 computer it now it does not work. So it is not just Apple wants people to buy Mac OS X 10.3.

(I got it to install by removing some of the files from the package, that check what system you use.)

It does not matter too much since it is not my main computer, well I am off to reinstall Mac OS now.

I think he might have meant so that you can use Tab in it's normal way. i.e to intent text. That's what i'd like to be able to do anyway. Perhaps have a different key to move between input boxes/links.

Now when you're downloading, the icon on your desktop (Or wherever you're saving it) shows the progress bar. Nice.

Not to dis Safari or anything, but... Explorer has done this since 5.0.

Anyway, Safari is MUCH faster on more complex pages, Java is MUCH better (example: try this page before and after installing). Java is best update for me... My phys teacher uses applets all the time, and, IF they loaded in Safari 1.1/Java 1.4.1, they took FOREVER to load... now, a few seconds and VOILA! there it is, all working fine! Yipee!

Score for Apple!🙂

I know. Thankfully Apple doesn't wait 2-3 years or more in between OS upgrades. XP will probably be 5 years old before it gets upgraded. That's one reason why I prefer OS X to Windows (among many others). If that's the price of innovation, then I'm willing to pay for it.
 
I like the way that you can actually scroll through pages snappily while they are still loading, without that lag you used to get. The resumable downloads are going to be very useful when I get home at Easter as well (dial-up!).

Thanks for the heads up on that one! My download just this second finished and I was about to try to force install install it somehow. Did it completely ruin your Jaguar install?
 
safari update changed me to Chinese!

I just dl and installed the safari update, and it changed my menu text to Chinese! Does anyone know how to change it back? I'm having a hard time figuring it out because everything is in Chinese now. This sucks :-(
 
No more need for "always show tab bar"

No more need for "always show tab bar"! Turn that off and the tab bar appears ONLY as needed... and your window size stays constant just like it should.

Thanks, Apple! More screen real estate for me!

And maybe it's just me, but scrolling (which was already very smooth) seems even smoother now.

Does that in version 1 😉 I like to keep widgets and buttens down to a minimum also.

Edit : Sorry i'm talking carp, didn't read the bit about window size staying constant. Nice!

The computer starts up OK, but the finder does not load, so you cant do anything.

I'm not and wont.. I'd like Apple to either implement a yearly fee for upgrades that's is reasonable or support older OS's even if it is one version older!

But you can continue to kiss their arse.
 
Heads Up

Just installed Safari update, now it won't open. One bounce and nothing. I am typing this in IE... UGH! I had forgotten how ugly IE is.

Okay I see what you mean but I've never been able to tab/indent in comment box in Safari. It has always cycled through the available input areas.

Is there any reason why this is Panther only?

Late-model Safari uses Core Graphics functions that weren't available before Panther. Doing those features conditionally is basically the same idea as maintaining multiple branches; that's almost an invitation for additional bugs to sneak in, so it's probably for the best that they're doing things the way they are.

Do you mean Explorer for Mac or Windows?

I've never used the Mac version much, but I certainly have never noticed that in IE for Windows. In IE Win, I never even see an icon on the desktop, period, until the download is complete.

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.

Pretty Easy to fix, you need to go into the "Advance" tab in the preferences and select within the "universal access" Pref "Never use font sizes smaller than..." I've used 10pts and looks about the same now.

Hope that helps😀

Version 1.2 is pretty darn fast 😛

Obviously I'm not complaining because I have Panther! But it would be nice to at least support Jaguar users a bit with bug fixes.

Of more note, I like the way that it uses more threads so that things work faster! Scrolling is much better and performance is much improved. Open mail links in new tab is a great option for MacRumors forum replies!

I guess you can just wait, and wait, and wait, and wait... and just wait a little more till you decide Panther (or whatever else is next) is for you.

I was hoping for the same with MyBankofAmerica. Still doesn't work, though I'm sure it's a result of my friendly bank half supporting Safari still. 🙄
