I don't know what's going on with the Apple devs lately working on Webkit here, but every single build since the 16th of June pretty much has crashed Safari 3.1.2 and DP 4 on XP and Vista for me. I had to revert every single time to a pre-16th build, bleh.

Hopefully they can sort this out in a build or two, it's rather annoying.

This latest build works absolutely great for me. They are back to regular builds now!

Build: WebKit r36108 was built on 05 September 2008 and is a 23.2 MB download.

wow, it seems they have upped the revision number a lot in one day.

http://nightly.webkit.org/builds/trunk/win/1

September 7, the revision number goes from 36135 to 36254 :blink:

And it seems the latest nightly (362xx) have reclaimed the crown in Sunspider. Now it's faster than both Chrome and TraceMonkey in the Apple benchmark.

The Javascript speed war is here! :laugh:

SquirrelFish Extreme Accelerates JavaScript Even More

113350-extreme.jpg

The Webkit blog has posted benchmarks on their "next generation" JavaScript interpreter called SquirrelFish Extreme (SFX). SquirrelFish Extreme uses "more advanced techniques" to deliver even faster JavaScript performance.

The new version of SquirrelFish is nearly twice as fast the first version of SquirrelFish which we previously reported on. It is also over three times faster then the current Safari 3.1 version that is available from Apple.

JavaScript is heavily used in many modern interactive websites, including Apple's own MobileMe web apps. Google is also investing heavily in improving JavaScript performance and is working on their own accelerated JavaScript interpreter called V8. According to one blog, SquirrelFish Extreme is 38% faster than the current version of V8.

SquirrelFish is available in the nightly betas of Webkit for personal testing, and should eventually make its way into future Safari releases.

Finally I updated to the latest build after quite a long time. They are releasing almost everyday. Enjoy!

What am I doing wrong? I've been applying the nightlies successfully for many months but a few months ago it would crash every time I would try to reopen safari. I gave up and just now tried applying the latest webkit, which worked when I ran the nightly but crashes every time I try to open Safari up afterwards. I tried other builds but they also crash.

    • Online didn't launch until October of 2013. So no one could play it. Even then there were issues.
    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
