WWDC Software Notes: Safari 5, Xcode 4, iTunes 9.2

Safari "Elements"

I don't know if anyone else has noticed or talked about it but there is a totally new interface with looking into the source coding in Safari 5 called "Elements." You can get to it one way by right clicking on any website page and clicking "Inspect Element." There are charts, timelines, extremely organized folders of scripts, images, and coding.

I find it to be really cool!

So apparently Xcode 4 has native SVN and GIT support with a time-machine like browser for viewing version trees and differences and a code fixing app.

SVN has been built into Xcode since version 1.5, though Git would be new and the implementation is really rather poor. Each working copy of a file or directory is flagged as such with filesystem level metadata, with the effect that half the time when you add something to your project that's already in the filing system Xcode decides to keep it separately from your SVN repository. I've yet to figure out exactly the rules that lead to that misfeature.

Could the code fixing app just be a derivative of the existing static analyser?

Agreed. We've paid so why not give it to us??!! Just because we can't all travel around the world to go to a conference.

You paid $99 for the iPhone SDK. You didn't pay $1599 and/or aren't an ADC Select or better member.

This shouldn't surprise you that you have to wait on pre-release XCode 4 as it's part of Mac OS X and it's Developer Tool chain that you haven't paid to receive advanced betas.

I still find Firefox better...not sure it is faster but user interface is better...for instance if I want to quit FF I am asked if i want to save my opened tabs...Safari does not do that.
What do you guys think? FF 3.6.3 or S.5?
Click to expand...

-Firefox takes an age to start up
+Firebug - far better GUI than Web Inspector
+Safari has the Top Sites
+Firefox can manage popups on a site basis
+Firefox can manage cookies on a site basis
-Both Firefox and Safari are both memory hogs

Personally, I prefer Safari, but FF has far better functionality. The long start up time of FF kills me.

I'm ADC Select and I don't get XCode 4.

In addition, Apple's gotten rid of ADC Select/Premier, so once my membership expires, I can't renew.

ADC Select members are also left out as the beta is only available to WWDC attendees. Additionally, ADC Select/Premier etc. has been replaced by the new $100 Mac Developer Program.

And obviously, Xcode is part of the iPhone toolchain as much as it is part of the Mac toolchain.

Exactly. This decision is total crap on Apple's part. You spend several hundred dollars/year for early access to releases, and then they limit it to only WWDC attendees. It's not like they're releasing something extra early just for WWDC people. If WWDC didn't exist, it would be released to all paid developers at this point.

I guess they wanted to give WWDC attendees something exclusive this year to compensate for the fact that all they got at the Keynote was a damn phone...

That's my whole point, they didn't give WWDC attendees anything, they simply locked it away from people who should have legitimately gotten it, which makes it seem like the WWDC attendees are getting something special. WWDC attendees should've actually gotten something special, like the ability to pre-order their iPhone 4's and have them delivered a week early or something like that.
 
Let me be the first to flag a possible 'bug' in Safari 5.

My pointer keeps disappearing when I click on certain areas of web content. I have to drag it over to Finder and click to get it to reappear.

It happens on the black ares of this site. (And no it's not a trick or a spam site.)

Hmm. Do I hear 5.01?

Edit: It happens when I click on Finder and then click into the site on Safari. The pointer is still active, just invisible.

I have Safari 5 for Windows 7. Why don't I have the little apple in the upper left hand corner and those little colored circles? :(

Are you serious? Really? I can't tell.

The Apple menu and the "traffic light" Close, minimize, and fit to content buttons are part of Mac OS X.

Not a safari bug, most likely Flash. It happens in other browsers for me too.

Definitely cool, but it's been around since 4.0 (possibly 3.0). The styles listing on the right has a few new options, but nothing drastic. Unless I'm mistaken, however, the ability to choose colour modes in the inspector is new and very welcome.

Thanks for that. I don't know enough about web code etal to work it out. Never happened on that site before in S4. Maybe S5 it's less tolerant to Flash japery.

Edit: Not happening in Safari 4 or Chrome.
 
I've created TweetBar
Screen-shot-2010-06-08-at-6.56.42-PM.png


It puts 3 or 4 tweets in a bar in Safari, easy.

So this should tell everyone about Apple's plans for OSX development. Normally Apple would release a major version of Xcode with a major version of OSX. Same with Safari. Here we are with Safari and Xcode upping to major release versions absent a major OSX release.

iOS is Apple's new focus and replacement for OSX. I believe OSX 10.7 will be the last version of OSX as iOS will morph to live on any size system or device. Time will tell but I believe this to be true. We'll see what happens when AppleTV is released - maybe real Apple televisions will be announced with AppleTV devices.
 
Please!

Dear God, someone please write a mute button for Safari! I'm sick of having my system volume down just so I don't have to hear annoying web pages.
 
Praise be to non-news. So nice to spend my valuable time reading about nothing.
I will admit that Safari is damned fast and accurate, but it's got a ways to go before I use it as my everyday browser.
Not time yet... Maybe in a year when the tools I use all the time are available. Oh, and mime types. Need that.

- Safari 5: Released to all users yesterday, Safari 5 offers speed enhancements, increased HTML5 support, Reader functionality for facilitating reading of articles on cluttered pages, and new support for third-party extensions to add functionality to the browser application...

<snip>

Developers are already quickly pushing out useful extensions for Safari, listings of which are being collated on several sites around the Internet. Some interesting ones:

- Gmail Checker
- Reload Button
- Amazon Search Bar
Click to expand...
As cool as all the new Safari extensions are obviously going to be, this...
  • Smarter Address Field: The Smart Address Field can now match text against the titles of webpages in History and Bookmarks, as well as any part of their URL.
  • Tabs Setting: Automatically open new webpages in tabs instead of in separate windows.
Click to expand...
... is what I've been waiting for so I can finally ditch the ghetto that is Firefox, and for good.
