20:49 - Long Overdue Safari Update

There's a new Safari beta out-- b51. God damn, it took them forever to get this release out the door.
SSL works now, for what I think is the biggest showstopper bug that's fixed. I'm not sure what else has changed, as there doesn't seem to be a changelog in the package anywhere. But the CSS1 test suite problem-- namely, that it doesn't recognize the "text/html" MIME type properly in CSS (something Dave Hyatt knows about), is not fixed yet. So it'll be another agonizing three days before that's fixed, probably.
Anyway-- while downloading the new beta, watch the "Downloads" monitor window. Keep an eye on the status messages, after it finishes transferring the .dmg disk image file. Watch how it displays all the Disk Copy status messages right in the Downloads window, such as "Displaying software license agreement" and "Mounting", after which it mounts the resulting application object on the desktop and replaces the .dmg file in the Downloads window with the final product. So you're left with a single clean entry, and no interim archive file to worry about.
(You can prevent it from doing this, by the way, by turning off the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" option in the General preferences.)
Squeee!
