It seems this is the same Developer Preview that was released on August 11, 2008, so are there any changes or updates to this re-release?

 

[Compile 'em all]

looks the same to me as far as release notes are concerned.

Yup, that's what I thought b/c I clicked on the About Safari and it showed Safari 4.0 (5528.1) which I think was the same...

Easy way to check: find a bug fixed somewhere between August and now, and see if it's fixed in the preview. For example, I just tested on http://www2.webkit.org/perf/slickspeed/, and the optimizations I committed months ago ( http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/36432 for example ) are not in the preview, so this is definitely using an old WebKit.

I downloaded Safari 4 about 4 days ago, and I'm currently at build 5526.11.2

I'd check it out again, and download the Safari 4.0 (5528.1) since the update was on January 8, '09, just two days ago...

Any thoughts on it? How does it compare to FF3?
