07/20/2004 08:10 AMMacEase on Tuesday released
Safari
Magic 1.0, a new utility that adds tools to Safari, Apple's Web
browser. With Safari Magic installed, Safari users can collect, edit
and organize text, graphics and pictures from multiple Web pages and
non-contiguous sources, using keyboard shortcuts. Users can also more
easily save and print data they find using Safari, and can add
annotations and time/date stamps. Safari Magic adds a horizontal or
vertical tool bar to the Safari window. Safari Magic requires Mac OS X
v10.2 or later and costs US$19.95 to register. A demo version is
available for download.

XUL in Safari
XUL in Safari
10/29/2003 12:12 AMSafari 1.1 is included with the new release of Mac OS X, Panther.
From Dave Hyatt's list of Safari 1.1 features:
A complete implementation of the XUL box model. Safari on
Panther supports the complete XUL box model, including horizontal and
vertical boxes, the ability to flex, and the ability to reorder
content and reverse content. If you're building canned content that
you control using WebKit, you'll find a whole new range of layout
possibilities at your disposal. Need to create dynamically sized
headers and footers and flexible center content? The XUL box model can
do that. Need to center an object within the viewport? The XUL box
model can do that too.
With Microsoft's alternative to XUL seemingly a few years away, are Apple looking to
beat them to it with an implementation that's compatible with
Mozilla?

02/12/2004 11:24 AMWe seem to have inadvertently revealed a bug in Safari 1.2 -- and we
think we know specifically what Safari is doing wrong. The bug
currently makes oatmeal of some of our layout elements. If not fixed,
it could discombobulate sites that are much more important than ours.
Safari RSS
Safari RSS
07/01/2004 01:46 PMI haven't had a chance to talk about this, but I thought I'd again
start by briefly clearing up a point of confusion. Safari RSS is not
the name of the entire Safari browser on Tiger. It is the name of the
RSS/Atom feature in Safari itself. If you pull down the About
information in Safari on Tiger, you'll see that the version is
2.0.

Safari 1.1
10/28/2003 11:08 PMSafari 1.1 is here. Those of you who picked up Panther can take it
for a spin. This release is big step forward from 1.0, chock full of
bugs fixes, improvements and UI refinements.
As far as new WebCore features, here's a few highlights:
(1) Better standards support. You'll find fixes for positioning bugs,
overflow bugs, floats, tables, gzip support, generated content using
::before and ::after, DHTML. You name it, we've improved it.
(2) Speed. We're still fast, and we're only going to get faster.
(3) CSS2 support. In addition to all of the bug fixes to be more
standards-compliant, we also added support for CSS2 properties like
text-shadow and new display values like inline-block. Try using
text-shadow in conjunction with ::selection. It's cool. :)
(3) Safari on Panther supports rgba values in CSS for specifying
border, background, foreground and shadow colors.
(4) Support for the CSS3 opacity (using -khtml-opacity) property.
Make entire blocks and inlines transparent without resorting to
transparent PNGs.
(5) A complete implementation of the XUL box model. Safari on Panther
supports the complete XUL box model, including horizontal and vertical
boxes, the ability to flex, and the ability to reorder content and
reverse content. If you're building canned content that you control
using WebKit, you'll find a whole new range of layout possibilities at
your disposal. Need to create dynamically sized headers and footers
and flexible center content? The XUL box model can do that. Need to
center an object within the viewport? The XUL box model can do that
too.
And in case you're curious, here's what we've already got working
post 1.1 in WebCore that you can look forward to:
(1) Support for the title attribute using tooltips
(2) The ability to tab to all controls in a Web page and to manipulate
them from the keyboard.
(3) Support for table border collapsing.
(4) Support for the CSS cursor property.
... and a whole lot more ...
Enjoy the upgrade and as always send us your feedback (trackbacks
preferred). We're listening.
Safari 1.3
Safari 1.3
04/16/2005 01:24 AMThose of you running Panther can now update to 10.3.9. This update
includes Safari 1.3 and new versions of WebKit, WebCore, and
JavaScriptCore that contain thousands of improvements we've made to
the engine since Safari 1.2.
What you are getting is all of the new standards support, new
WebKit capabilites, site compatibility fixes and performance
optimizations that are also present in Safari 2.0 for Tiger. The
layout engines for the two are virtually identical.
Here are some of the highlights:
Page Load Performance
Safari 1.3 loads pages overall 35% faster than 1.2 as measured by
IBench. In addition to improving the overall page load, Safari 1.3
will display content sooner than 1.2 did, so that subresources don't
hold up the initial display of the page.
JavaScript Performance
We have substantially improved the performance of the JavaScript
engine in Safari. I encourage you to check out Safari 1.3 on this
benchmark for example to see the improvement relative to 1.2.
HTML Editing
Safari 1.3 supports HTML editing, both at the Objective-C WebKit API
level and using contenteditable and designMode in a Web
page. The new Mail app in Tiger uses WebKit for message composition.
You can write apps that make use of WebKit's editing technology and
deploy them on Panther and Tiger.
Compatibility and Security
Compatibility and security are our number one priority in WebCore, and
Safari 1.3 has many important compatibility fixes. For example,
percentage heights on blocks, tables and cells now work much better in
Safari 1.3. min/max-width/height support has been added. More of the
table-related CSS properties are now supported. DOM methods like
getComputedStyle are now supported.
The DOM Exposed
The entire level 2 DOM has been exposed a public API in Objective-C.
This means various holes have been filled in Safari's DOM level 2
support. In addition to exposing the DOM to Objective-C, the JS
objects that wrap DOM objects can also be accessed from Objective-C,
allowing you to examine and edit the JS objects themselves to inject
properties onto them that can then be accessed from your Web page.
XSLT
Safari 1.3 on Panther now supports XSLT. 10.3.9 includes libxslt, and
Safari uses this excellent library to handle XSLT processing
instructions it encounters in Web pages.
Plugin Extensions
For those of you writing WebKit apps, a new Objective-C WebKit plugin
API is supported that lets you put Cocoa widgetry into the Web page
more easily. In addition enhancements to the Netscape Plugin API
(made in conjunction with Mozilla Foundation) have been implemented
for plugins that require cross-browser compatibility.
Did I mention it's really really fast? :)
In case you're curious about differences between the Tiger and
Panther versions of the engine, they mostly have to deal with
frameworks that changed underneath WebKit. For example we have new
faster image decoders on Tiger (that also handle PNGs correctly), so
you'll find that Tiger fixes some of the PNG gamma issues that will
still exist on Panther. In addition the new decoders are incredibly
fast and are now run on a separate thread on multi-processor machines
on Tiger.
The network layer has also been improved on Tiger, so this may be
another source of differences in behavior between the two operating
systems. Overall, however, it's likely that content and applications
you develop with WebKit will behave identically on the two operating
systems.
Let us know what you think.

03/25/2005 06:44 AMSafari, RSS, NetNewsWire
Safari, RSS, NetNewsWire
06/28/2004 02:57 PM“So, Brent, what do you think of Apple putting RSS reading
into Safari?”
The first thing to know is that we have no intention of stopping
NetNewsWire development.
The second thing is, I’m not surprised. I half-expected it last
year, and this year I’d heard rumors (even seen some screen
shots) before WWDC, so it’s no shock. Syndication is such great
technology, it makes sense for Apple—and Microsoft—to add
RSS reading to their systems.
The RSS reader in Safari is not a full-featured newsreader, at least
from what I could tell by the demo. For instance, it doesn’t
appear to remember what items you’ve read or tell you how many
unread items you have. And some of the other features that it does
have—such as RSS searching—are coming in NetNewsWire
2.0.
So... even with Safari’s RSS reader, there is still a need for
newsreaders that do more. (Much more.)
What I like about this announcement is that it popularizes
syndication. Despite its fast growth, there’s still a huge
education job to do. The average Mac user doesn’t know about the
technology yet, but putting it in Safari means they will know about
it, and it gives the technology a kind of validation, an Apple seal of
approval, for the people who are slower to look at new
technologies.
It also may mean that Apple will evangelize RSS to publications that
haven’t yet adopted it. Which is great: it’s not something
we have much time for, and when CNN hears from Apple it carries a bit
more weight than when they hear from Ranchero Software.
This could trigger a shake-out in the Mac OS X newsreaders market.
There are a dozen or so readers right now, but by this time next year
there may be Safari and just a few others. (NetNewsWire will be one of
them.)
So I don’t feel as we’ve been Sherlocked. But it does look
to me as if the Konfabulator folks might have
something to say about Dashboard.

XSLT in Safari
XSLT in Safari
08/15/2004 10:51 PMSome time ago we switched over to libxml in Safari for the
processing of XML (and XHTML) files. I'm happy to report that we now
have basic XSLT support working in Safari using libxslt. You can
style your XML using xml-stylesheet processing instructions.
I don't yet have a programmatic JS API working for transforming
documents, but that shouldn't be too difficult to add. What I really
need are XSLT test cases that use xml-stylesheet. Track back
or comment if you know of some good test cases online that I can use,
or just generally have suggestions to make regarding XSLT support.

Fonts in Safari
03/20/2003 05:32 PMAn update on the issues raised
by John Gruber in his blog.
(1) Safari *is* using the wrong fonts for rendering to the screen.
Because of our use of lower-level APIs, we missed out on a font
substitution step that happens when rendering to the screen where the
bitmap font ends up getting chosen for rendering. This is a bug in
Safari, and we're looking into fixing it.
(2) The global OS AA setting is not being obeyed.
(3) Above and beyond the OS AA setting, AppKit also has hardcoded
rules at a higher level, e.g., don't AA Courier or Monaco. Again we
are missing these hardcoded rules.
I'll keep you updated as we work on solutions to these problems.
Thanks again, John, for the excellent analysis of Safari's font
handling.
Safari and KHTML
Safari and KHTML
06/05/2005 11:17 PMKHTML developers respond to my posting of the WebCore Acid2 patches
here and here.
For what it's worth, the patches I posted are to WebCore,
which consists of both KHTML and KWQ (our port of Qt). They are
posted to illustrate all the WebCore bugs that had to be fixed in
Safari to pass the Acid2 test. They are not solely KHTML patches.
The antialiasing bug was in KWQ, and so doesn't even apply to KHTML.
The better object element support necessarily involves KWQ as well,
since the plugin code is (obviously) platform-specific.
What do you think Apple could be doing better here? Comment or
trackback. I'll read it all.

10/28/2003 11:08 PMResponding to some of the trackbacks from the previous blog
entry...
The first mentions a bug in 1.1, and the test page is found here. In Safari
post-Panther, the rendering is actually different (but still broken).
I'm not sure what the problem is at first glance, but I'll take a
look.
The second trackback asks for complete navigation of bookmarks from
the keyboard. Since that isn't part of WebCore, I can't comment.
Several trackbacks also ask about Safari 1.1 on Jaguar. As I've
mentioned in previous blog entries, I can't comment on future Safari
releases.
I can whet your appetite with more WebCore stuff that we've
implemented since Safari 1.1: small-caps support, fixes for
first-letter and text-transform (the ugly doubling text effect is
gone), fixes to first-line, and speed improvements to DHTML.

Safari and Chimera
Safari and Chimera
01/14/2003 02:28 PMThe rumors about Apple releasing its own branded browser circulated
for some months now. With the hiring of David Hyatt at
Apple, one of the main developers of Chimera and
Mozilla, the expectation was the new browser will be based on Gecko.
It now turns out Safari is
based on Konqueror's rendering engine. Quite interesting!
It would be very interesting to see the evolution of Safari. One
major feature missing from Safari is tabbed browsing, which was
designed and implemented by David. His description of the story and how it was seen by
marketing people at that time is rather amusing.
What are the long term implications for Mozilla of Apple's decision
to go without Gecko? With the current polarization of developers
around Apple's new MacOS X, is Mozilla going to loose its relevance as
the "other" browser on the market? Can Apple fight this browser battle
they've just entered? What will be Microsoft's response to this?
I think this year will be an interesting one to watch...

06/22/2005 02:18 AMA newly discovered flaw in all the major Web browsers could allow
Internet scammers to successfully launch phishing attacks, according
to a warning from security research outfit Secunia Inc. The
vulnerability, confirmed on fully patched versions of Microsoft
Corp.'s dominant Internet Explorer browser, can be exploited by
malicious hackers to trick surfers into disclosing confidential
information, including credit card and social security numbers.
"The problem is that JavaScript dialog boxes do not display or
include their origin, which allows a new window to open a prompt
dialog box, which appears to be from a trusted site," Secunia
said in a public advisory. "Successful exploitation normally
requires that a user is tricked into opening a link from a malicious
Web site to a trusted Web site," the company added.
