1. Safari 5 →

    Both Safari 5 and Rails 2.3.8 released this week. It’s like two Christmases at once! HTML5, Forms 2.0 and CSS3 here I come.

    Safari 5 has some major new features:

    • Reader (try it on Wikipedia), 
    • greater HTML5 support, faster rendering, 
    • additional search engine support (Bing and Yahoo!); and 
    • a new extensions system supporting HTML/CSS/JS plugins (like FF has had forever).

    I’ve installed Safari 5, and I’ve noticed a big difference in rendering on some sites - especially sites constructed using well formed HTML. Rendering of HTML5 seems blazingly fast - and has really given me the impetus to start using it wherever I can.
