Haha. Okay, I switched my sig.
Anyway, about those ADC benefits and how they relate to Safari.
Paying ADC members get discounts on hardware, mailings containing SDKs, documentation and system software releases (like new Mac OS X versions). Additionally, they get discounts on third-party development tools.
Seeding members get Apple software testing seeds, meaning builds that are
not internal but also
not public. Safari's current betas, for instance, are neither public nor software seeds. The NDA seeding participators need to sign states that they are not allowed to name or discuss the software products, if any, they have obtained with their seed keys. Discussing the content or the nature of their role in the seeding program is also prohibited.
So, as I said, Safari is not a seeded piece of software, nor a publicly available one -- aside from a slightly old (although robust) public release. Thus, Safari is not available on ADC in any shape or form. However, ADC does host the
WebCore module, which includes Safari's implementation of KHTML and KJS. Basically, you could install Safari, get a new version of WebCore and plop it into Safari. My understanding is that Apple's internal Safari versioning follows the version numbers of the WebCore module they use -- and since there was and is a WebCore v65 (though not officially available), there most likely (cough) is a Safari v65 out there, too.
Whew, I stayed on topic. Sort of.
