So…what aproximate date from the webkit.org sources is beta 3 based on? Because I am seeing bugs that really mess me up, that were fixed in April…like .
And it just lists 522 as its webkit version which is not very informative.

Since I left my first comment, I changed my cookies setting to be wide-open, which solved the login problem. Either those sites inaccurately set the domain on cookies, or Safari’s “not third party” setting considers everything third-party!

I’ve had my fourth crash, and what makes that supremely frustrating is that the “Reopen All Windows From Last Session” menu item is persistently grayed out. That could end up being a deal-killer for me, but I’m sticking with it so far.

I finally figured out why I couldn’t drag single tabs into existing tab sets. In case anyone else thinks that the Windows version just won’t let you do that (maybe it’s just me), the trick is to drag up or down *first*, not side-to-side. Once you’ve dragged a tab sideways, even slightly, it can no longer be dragged *away*.

There are a variety of other tiny things, probably related to Windows XP not supporting various function calls, but it’s so fast I’m willing to put up with a bunch.

Is the news of Safari on Windows really “news?” I mean, call me crazy but I’d always assumed that iTunes for windows was using the Safari engine to render its pages. I’ve also assumed, I reckon, that iTunes for Mac was using the Safari engine to render its pages.

I installed Safari 3 without removing Safari 2 with simply rewriting frameworks install pathes and defining DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH (install script follows, not localized to English):

“It would also mean that they get no testing with the updated frameworks.”

So – you’re looking for bug reports from WebKit-using apps? Like, the way iChat sometimes now seems to require a user event (such as mouse movement) to update the chat when I send a long message? (I’m assuming iChat uses WebKit – either that or it’s the biggest coincidence I’ve experienced in my short life…)
