SI why did you closed this: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry589276933 ?

I've posted this as a Windows update, i didn't know the Mac Safari was on the same version, actually i've think it was on a bigger number version. Maybe you should fixed the title to "Safari 3.1 Final for Windows" and the other thread to "Safari 3.1 Mac", at least users will have a thread to discuss about both versions, since Windows is not the same as Mac, which means that even the same version can have bugs in one and not in the other. :blink:

Wait, what?

Did I read that right? Gecko based?

My bad, sorry. :wall:

eh? Firefox IS Gecko, Safari IS Gecko too, the "engine" is not Firefox but Gecko, and it's not hard to see that Safari IS Gecko, all is similar to Firefox, even when Apple try to "hide" what is the engine of Safari <.<

Safari uses the WebKit engine. The other thread was closed because this one already existed and Safari is multi-platform.

For some reason by version of Safari 3.1 goes to 53 out of 100 and crashes. But I'm on a mac. :blink:

You need to use the WebKit nightly in conjunction with Safari 3.1 to get the higher score on Acid 3.

Then add a link to the Mac version. :p If you wanted a Windows-only discussion maybe you should have posted this in one of the Windows theads. :p

Running the SunSpider Benchmark I get the following results:

  • Safari 3.1 final: Total: 6403.8ms +/- 3.7%
  • WebKit nightly: Total: 3558.6ms +/- 0.3%
  • Firefox 3.0b5pre: Total: 3520.0ms +/- 0.5%

Benchmarked on iMac 20", 2.0 GHz Core2Duo, 2 GB RAM.

Safari is a welcome addition to all the browser available. I prefer it to opera. Sometimes my connection is very slow (because of the ISP, or some websites). Safari handle this situation better than other browsers. Otherwise I surf usually with Firefox, when connection is "normal".

When i go to 'About', it says the same build number as the official 3.1 release (5525.13) - Running the latest webkit nightly

Yup, it will do. Thats the build number of Safari itself. The actual WebKit engine though is different in the nightlies. In effect, running the WebKit nightly uses the currently installed Safari build as the front end GUI but with the newer more up-to-date WebKit engine.

Do any of you know the software that automatically installs the latest webkit nightly?

If you are on Windows, all you have to do is run the run-nightly-webkit.cmd file once you copy all the files and folders to your Safari directory. It then installs the updated files and runs the browser (and a terminal window, which you can safely close once the browser opens)

Has the memory improved?

Well, I've got 7 tabs open right now in Safari, and it is using approx. 50 megs of memory.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      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.
