Apple Seeds Safari 5.1.2 with PDF Viewing Fixes to Developers

by

safari 5 1 2 dev
Apple yesterday pushed out a pre-release version of Safari 5.1.2 to Mac developers. The update addresses several issues related to the viewing of PDFs located within frames on websites while also asking developers to test plug-in interaction and printing. From the seed notes:

Inline PDF Support

Safari 5.1.2 fixes issues where PDFs in frames were not displayed in the browser. Please test this build with websites that display PDF documents inline such as banks and document management systems. Please also test saving and using context menus with PDFs in frames.

Plug-Ins

Please test mouse and keyboard interaction in plug-ins with input fields.

Printing

Please test printing web pages. Printing web pages to PDF is sufficient.

Apple documents one known issue which could cause Safari to crash using certain Safari Extensions.

Safari 5.1.2 is available to developers in versions for OS X Lion, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and Windows.

I wish they'd just add more options for the end user. Like combining the search box with the address bar like Chrome.


I was never a fan of that, which is why I never used Chrome exclusively.
