Safari 1.3 | clagnut/blog

Safari 1.3 posted 17th April 2005

Those of you who have just updated OS X to 10.3.9 may have noticed that Safari is now a full point release older at 1.3. And this means that the clear:none bug I reported a year ago is finally fixed. In fairness Dave Hyatt fixed this bug ages ago but he’s had to wait this long for a new release. I wonder what other fixes have gone through? Dave says there are thousands of improvements.

Unfortunately there’s also a new and serious bug: the unload event hardly ever fires, and that can be a problem in dozens of ways.

Amongst other cool things, Command+option+J now brings up a javascript console. Still not as helpful as Firefox’s but it goes a long way.

New browsers: Some recent browser releases: Mozilla has released 1.3 Alpha and 1.02. Opera has released 7 for Windows Beta 2. Apple has released Safari Beta 2. For web developers, the last one is of particular note as Safari will presumably be making its way on to all new Apple machines. …
clear:none bug in Safari: The Web developers among you may be interested in what appears to be a Safari bug. Essentially clear:none does not over-ride clear:left. I’ve posted more details and an example in my sandbox.
Problems with font rendering on Macs: Just recently Jeffrey Zeldman was bemoaning the sub-standard state of text rendering in Firefox on a Mac. And the sad truth is he only skimmed the surface; Firefox, Safari, Opera and Camino may render even the same font differently.
Skinny images in Safari: It seems that some of the images on Clagnut are being rendered as skinny strips in Safari 1.2. I’m confused as to why.
Firefox 1.5 is go: Firefox 1.5 is now a fully fledged release and it’s well worth a look, especially if you’re a web developer.
