No I Didn't Forget About the Bookmarklets ...

Feedster!  Now available as a bookmarklet!  Get it here.  I tested this on both PCs and an OS X iBook.  The PC stuff worked but the OS X stuff did not.  I have no clue why.  And before Mozilla Andy jumps all over me, I did them for Mozilla too.

That's about it for the day.  Database is much larger, the pool of RSS urls is larger.  New hardware soon.  Good stuff overall.

Miscellaneous and Random Stuff

Oh and here's the rant of the day: Stupid, Stupid VB.  Even better than the bile I spewed this morning about ASPx stuff.  This one covers the myriad of human factors issues in Visual Basic.  I'm an ex-VB guy and I can attest to every single one of these.  I'd also add one more -- why is the dialog box for selecting COM objects to insert onto a form tiny?  I mean I have hundreds of the damn little things and I look thru them in groups of maybe 15.  Hello?  Microsoft Product Managers?  Anyone Listening?

Inbox Buddy

I've gotten some questions about my Inbox Buddy anti-spam product and does Feedster mean that we're now not doing that?  Nope.  We have the resources and committment to do both.  In fact, we'll be pushing the 1.1 version of Inbox Buddy out the door next week with some improved anti-spam features and performance enhancements.  If you use Outlook then you really might want to check out Inbox Buddy.  The people that have it pretty much love it to pieces.

Note: I'm one of the people who wrote Inbox Buddy so keep that in mind.  That, however, doesn't mean that its not a good product.

Safari RSS

Safari RSS 07/01/2004 01:46 PM

I 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 1.2 bug seen here

Safari 1.2 bug seen here 02/12/2004 11:24 AM
We 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 1.3

Safari 1.3 04/16/2005 01:24 AM

Those 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.

Safari 1.1

Safari 1.1 10/28/2003 11:08 PM

Safari 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.

XUL in Safari

XUL in Safari 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

Safari 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?

Safari and KHTML

Safari and KHTML 06/05/2005 11:17 PM

KHTML 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.

Safari 1.1, Part 2

Safari 1.1, Part 2 10/28/2003 11:08 PM

Responding 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 1.2 Released

Safari 1.2 Released 02/10/2004 02:41 AM

Safari 1.2 has been released for Panther (OS 10.3). Here are some of the technical highlights:

LiveConnect - LiveConnect is now supported for Java applets, allowing for bi-directional communication between Javascript and Java. Many Java sites that didn't work in earlier versions of Safari will now work properly in 1.2.

Personal Certificate Support - Personal certificates are now supported, so sites that were previously inaccessible are now available in the latest Safari.

keygen Implementation - The keygen element is now supported, so you can now generate key pairs from e.g., VeriSign.

Full Keyboard Access - You can now tab to all controls (and optionally links) on a page. There has been much confusion over this feature, since the ability to tab to all controls honors the OS setting.

In order to tab to popup menus, you need to go to your system preferences, select the Keyboard and Mouse panel, and then select the Keyboard tab. At the bottom of the tab is a checkbox next to the words "Turn on full keyboard access." Check that box to enable full keyboard access, and you'll find that you'll now be able to tab to popups all over the operating system (including Safari).

Another complaint I've seen on forums was that you couldn't type letters to have the popup jump directly to a selected item (e.g., typing "U" to jump to "United States"). Again, we obey the OS behavior, which does allow this, but only after you hit the spacebar when the control has the keyboard focus. Multi-letter typing is supported to complete to a specific item. Try it. You'll like it. :)

Improved Downloads - A download halted by the user or stalled due to network troubles can now be resumed in the Download Manager. You'll also find a number of other improvements to downloads, including the ability to select individual downloads to e.g., delete them, the ability to save images to specific locations via the context menu, and the removal of the 4-connection limitation when downloading while browsing.

Printing Improvements - The "huge margin" problem for printing has been fixed, and Safari is also smarter now about scaling the page when it contains long unwrappable lines. In addition, the CSS2 page break properties are now supported (for values of "always") as per the CSS2.1 Paged Media specification. The speed of printing has been improved dramatically, and you can also now disable backgrounds when printing.

International Domain Name Support - Safari 1.2 supports the IDN standard, which allows for non-ASCII characters in host names.

RTL Improvements - Handling of RTL text has been improved for better Hebrew, Arabic and Hindi support.

Accessibility Improvements - The title attribute is now supported as a tooltip, and 1.2 also supports the accesskey attribute for accessing specific objects in the Web page via the keyboard. In addition, minimum font size is now supported and exposed in Safari's preferences.

Mini Form Controls - Safari 1.2 now analyzes the font size specified by a Web page for form controls and swaps in the mini and small versions as needed. Sites like Travelocity will now render properly with mini form controls in place.

XMLHTTPRequestObject - The XMLHttpRequestObject is now supported, which means that those of you subscribed to Orkut can now rate your friends. ;)

CSS2 Table Support - Table support has been improved, with border-spacing now fully supported, empty-cells supported, and border collapsing supported.

DHTML Performance Improvements - Safari 1.2 is light years ahead of 1.1 in terms of DHTML performance. When objects change size or position, Safari 1.2 will only repaint the affected areas (whereas older versions would repaint the entire visible area every time).

hover/active improvements - Safari 1.2 has a faster (and more correct) implementation of :hover and :active, so it will no longer get into "stuck hover" states or mistakenly put multiple overlapping objects into :hover simultaneously.

Generated Content Support - 1.2 supports the positioning and floating of generated content as per the CSS2.1 spec, and many bugs have been fixed in generated content, particularly with first-letter and first-line. First-letter is now fully dynamic, and first-line styles will now be inherited properly into the descendants of the line. Both styles will even work across nested block-level children (something I believe that no other browser can yet do).

Marquee Support - All forms of marquees are supported, and the behavior is designed to match Internet Explorer for windows. The start() and stop() methods are also supported, so that marquee animations can be paused and resumed. Safari supports marquees using a special overflow value in conjunction with the CSS3 draft properties, and so it's easy to disable the animation while still allowing access to the content (all via a user stylesheet).

Small-caps Support - Safari 1.2 supports small-caps variants for fonts. It does not support true variants but instead synthesizes the font using the 70% heuristic employed by other browsers (like Mozilla).

Stability - Many crashes and hangs have been addressed.

Performance - Safari has added smarts when transitioning between pages (e.g., preserving the vertical scrollbar to avoid an extra layout), so that pages load more quickly on fast networks. This is just one example of several performance enhancements we made to speed up browsing since 1.1.

Caching Improvements - Safari's WebCore cache was not honoring expiration time, and this led to stale content remaining in the cache. This issue has been addressed.

HTTPS Speed Improvements - HTTPS pages load more quickly in Safari 1.2, thanks to bug fixes and improvements.

CSS Load Improvements - Safari no longer aggressively fetches images specified in CSS files but instead waits until the image is used in the Web page before loading it. This reduces the load time on sites that use generic cross-site CSS files with lots of rules that might never apply on many pages. (Translation: SprintPCS is fast now.)

Fonts in Safari

Fonts in Safari 03/20/2003 05:32 PM

An 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.
