Thoughts on web development and technologies by Peter Gasston
Where is Safari 3?
Why hasn’t Safari 3 come out of Beta yet? Leopard was released weeks ago, and Safari 3.04 was included in that; presumably that was a full release version and not a Beta, so why hasn’t a full release happened for other OS’s yet? I understand the Windows version might be delayed a little, but the Tiger version?

I was wondering that. I assume it’ll be part of 10.4.11 but there’s currently no sign of that (I’ve been scouring the Apple boards daily for news). It’s important because I suspect we’ll wind down support for 2.0 once 3.0 is final. Mac users seem to be pretty good at upgrading and if it’s part of a automatic upgrade then all the better for us as web developers.
Still have to support 1.3 for the Panther types though…

You’re in luck. 10.4.11 does contain Safari 3 and is out for download now.

Got it, thanks! Now just trying to find some release notes…
Update: Got the Windows release notes.

“Increases standards and site compatibility”
Apple’s being terse as ever!
