Safari 3 Beta 3.0.4

On Leopard to get it out by the 26th and most likely pulled some people away from Safari 3 for Tiger and Windows. It'll come around. Honestly, you can recommend a beta for the customers. Safari 3 beta is pretty stable and decent. #13 I don't see "beta" after the version number.. and I think it said that in tiger"version: 3.0.3 beta" Picture 3.png 18.6 KB · Views: 256 #14 I've held off using Safari 3 beta on my Macs.The windows box I use at work is running Safari 3 beta and it's been ok, but has some issues.The Safari under my friends new Mac mini running Leopard is working great. And as Rhosfelt shows in his screen shot, it doesn't have the word 'beta' after it.Hoping we'll get the 3.0.4 release soon so I can put it on my Macs. I don't use Safari all that often, except for some web sites that run better under Safari (ie. sprint.com has menus that don't show up under Firefox). #15 so it looks like it will go to windows and tiger. and i guess either today or tomorrow, if it's happening in October Looks like it will probably coincide with 10.4.11 (which may coincide with 10.5.1) #16 i hope it's a beta, it keeps crashing, is there anyway to get the old safari on leopard ? #17 i hope it's a beta, it keeps crashing, is there anyway to get the old safari on leopard ? Nope, some people have posted they have somehow got 2.04 on Leopard and it crashes...try repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility...If not, 10.5.1 is just around the corner #18 Mine has also crashed a lot. But it is not a Beta. they will smooth out bugs soon. Just send all your error reports!!

Actually, we did do the research. The fact is that Safari 3 in Leopard is Beta. The research is there. Something listed in a feature list of the OS is trumped when you go look at that product itself and it is still in beta. Vista did not advertise IE7+ as a beta though they should have. Safari 3 is more stable than IE7+ was/is by a long shot. Apple is doing the stand up thing and advertising it as beta when they consider it unfinished. Microsoft was not as honorable in this respect. "sorry try again" is what you told me. I provided you the proof. Please let me know if you have any other trouble with the online course platform. Regards,Deva WUniversity of Wyoming Online Help Desk #5 they want to see proof so i can access my online classesHello, Thank you for your response. Do you have a link to support this? If so, I can forward it to our developers and within 30 days or less it should be supported by our platform. All places we can download Safari still say beta. Even the Links on the Mac OS X Leopard link you said (but, they are links for Tiger and Windows). So, send me an apple link proving they are done with the beta and I'll see it gets to the appropriate team. If they have any feedback about it I'll see that you get it.

More about how well Safari works, or doesn’t, in a minute.On the surface, it seems odd that Jobs would make hay out of introducing a Web browser to an already crowded market on a competitor’s platform. But Apple’s simultaneous release of Safari Version 3 for Mac- and Windows-based systems marked a major step for Apple into the browser wars. While this may be the third version of Safari for Mac users, this is the first time Apple has released Safari for Windows. On the Mac side, Safari has seen some dramatic market share growth in recent months, even though Apple’s computer market share remains small compared to Windows. (Even so, the Mac market share itself is also rising.)During his speech, Jobs said that Apple simply wants to increase its browser market share, which seems logical.

The answers weren’t really detailed in Jobs’ keynote speech, so I dug a little deeper, hoping to find answers within Safari’s feature set and Apple’s Windows software history.Safari on Windows looks pretty much like Safari on the Mac, save for the shape and positioning of the close, minimize and zoom buttons. Other than that, it’s nearly identical. The feature sets are the same as well, from bookmark organization to the built-in RSS reader.

However, there is no certainty that it will be 3.0.4."The final version of Safari 3 will be available as a feature in the upcoming Mac OS® X version 10.5 Leopard, and will be available as a free download to Mac OS X Tiger and Windows users in October." Press Release Web siteDo you have an Apple Campus Rep? If so, contact him or her to clarify to the IT department. College IT help desks are generally ignorant to Mac issues.You should remove the help desk representative's name and contact information out of courtesy.

Apple seems to have forgotton this. On their web site Apple announced:"Pricing & Availability The free public beta of Safari 3 is available immediately as a download at www.apple.com/safari, and is preview software licensed for use on a trial basis for a limited time. The final version of Safari 3 will be available as a feature in the upcoming Mac OS® X version 10.5 Leopard, and will be available as a free download to Mac OS X Tiger and Windows users in October. "Now October has come and gone, and after calling 2 Apple hotlines, the most definitive answer I get is that the final version of Safari for Tiger is available when it is a link on the Apple web site.The Bank that I work for has a note on its website for Mac users, that Apple recommends using Netscape to its customers who have problems with the current Safari version. We at the Bank have proven that Safari 3 solves the problems but can't recommend a beta version to our users or the Bank CEO, who is a devoted Mac and Safari user. While Apple is promoting Safari to Windows users they are telling loyal Mac users not to use it. I think that Apple believes that by releasing the final version they won't sell as many Leopard upgrades. While this is probably true, as a loyal Apple user since 1982, I think we have a right to know approximately when the final version will be released. While right now I am fairly disgusted with Apple, I would buy Leopard for my G5 tomorrow if it would help get a true release date for the final version of Safari for my Bank. Being honest and informative with your customers is good for business in the long run. Currently, while many of my friends who I thought never would , are thinking of switching to a Mac, I'm now concerned that Apple is getting too big now and not being the responsive and customer focused company it once was. #12 It's coming. Apple had to focus

Is Safari 3 still considered a Beta in Leopard?

Mozilla has released the latest beta version of its Firefox 4 browser. You can grab Firefox 4 beta 3 for all major operating systems and over 30 languages from Mozilla's beta download site.The big addition to this beta is support for touch events inside the browser on Windows 7 machines. Windows 7 ships with built-in support for multi-touch actions on touchscreen tablets, desktops and laptops, and now Firefox is able to access that magic and let you interact with websites by touching them. The result is stuff like this:Also new to this release is an enhancement to the JavaScript capabilities within Firefox. If you've been keeping up with all the latest JavaScript and HTML5 web app demos we've been showing you over the last few months, you've probably noticed that animations with many moving parts tend to be much smoother and faster in Chrome and Safari. This new version of Firefox gives scripted animation performance a significant boost, so the speed difference is less noticeable.These new features join the enhancements already introduced in previous pre-release versions of Firefox 4, like the new tabs-on-top interface and the addition of App Tabs.The move to tabs-on-top is a growing trend among browser vendors. Chrome and Opera do it, and Safari has flirted with the look. While some within the Firefox user community fear Mozilla is making the switch just to chase the latest design fad, the change is less about a trend and more about the evolution of the web as a platform – these UI tweaks turn the tab bar into something much closer to a dock or a task bar.Keep in mind, Firefox 4 is still a pre-release browser, and it may not be entirely stable. But it should be stable enough for daily use, and it will give you a
