EDIT1: I will update you with what version I have.

EDIT2: Getting 90 with Version 3.0.4 (523.15)

Seems it is an older version than yours. How do you get version 3.1?

I happened to go to Wikipedia's Safari page and checked out the Win32 portion, and saw the 3.1 stuff, and the references on the bottom of the page had two links to 3.1 builds there.

What you do is unzip the webkit nightly and then open the run-nightly-webkit application. It will update automatically then!

Anyways... I updated you with my version and I am getting 90/100!

Yeah, I figured that out, updated it for me (and ran Safari with a terminal window, spooky!) and Safari runs faster than the original 3.1 build! Amazing. I think Safari will be my default browser when it hits 3.1 final.

Ahh ok. Even I might keep it my default browser. It runs really fast on Windows Vista.

Any idea on how to save the tabs or create sessions?

Here's the link just in case it gets edited out.

Will try this one right now.

Nice. But the browser crashes if the preference box is opened. :/

It saves everything you were looking at when it closes (or crashes in the case of the Windows version), when you start it back up there's a "Reopen all windows from last session" menu item in the History menu.

And running WebKit is a temporary thing, if you quit and start it up as normal you will be running the normal WebKit version.

who cares about Acid anyways... Only developers should be "worry" about...

In the end we "see" what the developers code so, at least in a lesser level, we all should care. The most browsers that are standard compliant the faster the developers can adopt new techologies that we are going to enjoy.

Yes. Mine also sometimes crashes when it closes and thanks... I found the reopen all windows item in the history menu.

What do you mean by if you quit and start it up as normal you will be running the normal webkit version? How do I run it as normal in the first place?

Through the normal shortcuts, It only loads the new engine if you run it via the "run-nightly-webkit" app.

Damn. Is there a work around this to make it run through the shortcut on the desktop? and not always through the run-nightly-webkit...

Also when running the run-nightly-webkit... it still says it is the old build in the about?

I'd just change the shortcut to use the run-nightly-webkit app.

Version numbers and Safari/WebKit is kinda odd, normal Safari on my PC is "3.0.4 (523.15)", on my Mac (latest nightly) it's "3.0.4 (5523.15)", It's it's 5000 higher than released version, which isn't right.

It's nice to see that firefox is making daily progress.... Will any browser get 100/100.... since not all the requirements may be for the best.... just a guess.

Sure web browsers will hit 100/100, It's just testing compliance with the specifications (and people want them to implement the specifications)

A proper (X)HTML+SMIL profile implementation gets rid of all those JS animation frameworks.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
