Mac OS X 10.3.3 (7F24) and Safari 1.2 Seeded

Apple has seeded a new version of Mac OS X to developers. Seed 7F24 has been posted with major changes to "Graphics, OpenGL games, USB devices, printing, browsing networks, Cocoa applications".

Of most interest is the inclusion of Safari 1.2 (current released version is 1.1.1).

The newest version of Safari includes a number of significant improvements:

- Ability to "tab" to form elements (buttons, checkboxes, submit buttons)
- The option (on/off) to "tab" to hyperlinks
- Improved download manager with resume
- View dimensions of an image
- Custom cursor support
- Option to open links from applications "in a new tab in the current window"
- Improved performance

This sounds good, especially the improved download manager. Now I am on DSL it is less than an issue, but I had to but Spped Download pretty soon after I got my Mac as I was only on dial up at the time. Really annoying as at the time there was no resume available on Software Update and Apple didn't put updates on Magazine CDs.

I hope that Safari 1.2 fixes its memory issues. It's currently using 114MB of my RAM, and all I have is this reply window and the Rumors forum open in a tabbed window.

Sounds promising. Now if Safari can open links like what I found here on that SOB (can I say that?) that abused his parents and his Xmas G5?

The tabbing feature upgrades will be great, it's my most-used feature in Safari now.

It's good to hear of improvements that are tangible to the average user.

I'm sure that most other updates are good, but they often are in semi-technobabble (improves the subroutine function of KersFeff and other enhancements) with nothing "visible."

Image dimensions will be a welcome addition to safari as well as "resume" in the DL manager. Heck, if I can just tab to a drop down box I'd be pretty happy.

Finally a Safari update that is coming to the peanut gallery (us). The tabbing to all elements is important. I hope 'Improved Performance' includes the DOGSLOW https issues.
