Uitgavegeschiedenis Safari

Hieronder vindt u beschrijvingen van de wijzigingen en vernieuwingen in de opeenvolgende versies van Safari.

Safari 6.0.1

In juli al heeft Apple Safari 6.0 uitgebracht. De grootste vernieuwing in deze versie van Apples is eigenlijk dat Windows niet meer ondersteund wordt. Safari is niet meer te downloaden voor Microsofts besturingssysteem: Apple heeft de ontwikkeling stopgezet. Wel is Safari natuurlijk nog voor Mac OS X en iOS beschikbaar.

Nieuwe functionaliteit in Safari 6 zijn een geïntegreerde zoekbalk en adresbalk (in plaats van twee losse balken) - net als bijvoorbeeld Google Chrome heeft - en de implementatie van de Do Not Track-functie die er op den duur voor moet zorgen dat advertentiebedrijven geen tracking cookies meer plaatsen. Ook nieuw zijn een leeslijst om offline artikelen van websites te kunnen lezen en een gloednieuwe wachtwoord-beheerder.

Eergisteren verscheen een eerste beveiligingsupdate voor Safari 6. In versie 6.0.1 van Apples browser worden tientallen beveiligingslekken gedicht in de WebKit engine van Safari.

Safari 6.0.1 is de standaard browser voor Mac OS X en iOS die dus niet meer te krijgen is voor Windows.

Uitgave-opmerkingen:

  • Smart Search Field. Safari now has one field for typing both searches and web addresses. 
  • Offline Reading List. Safari saves entire webpages in your Reading List so you can catch up on your reading even when you don’t have an Internet connection. 
  • Do Not Track. Safari can send the websites you visit a request not to track you online.
  • Password pane. Manage your saved website logins with the new Password pane.
  • Baidu. The leading Chinese search engine Baidu is now a built-in option for Chinese users.

Safari 6 for OS X Lion also includes improvements to stability, compatibility, usability and security, including changes that: 

  • Make the swipe to navigate gesture work with PDFs.
  • Restore the state of Reading List when Safari is launched.
  • Fix an issue that affected full screen video in webpages that have positioned content.
  • Restore the user's previous cookies after Private Browsing without requiring a Safari relaunch.

Safari 5.1.7

Safari 5.1.7 is uitgebracht. Deze versie van Apples browser moet de stabiliteit, prestaties en veiligheid vergroten. Zo reageert Safari sneller als je computer nog maar weinig geheugen beschikbaar heeft. Ook is een probleem met formulieren verholpen. Verder wordt onder Mac OS X de Flash-plugin uitgeschakeld als deze verouderd is. Dit om aanvallen via lekke browser-plugins te voorkomen.

Ook worden er drie beveiligingslekken gedicht in de WebKit engine van Safari. Safari 5.1.7 is de standaard browser voor Mac OS X die los is te downloaden voor Windows XP, Vista en 7.

Safari 5.1.5

Safari 5.1.5 is twee weken na de vorige versie uitgebracht. Deze update van Apples browser bevat enkele stabiliteitsverbeteringen voor Safari. Ook is de 'bruikbaarheid van bepaalde websites' vergroot.

Precieze details ontbreken, maar aangezien de update zo snel na versie 5.1.4 komt betreft het blijkbaar enkele serieuze problemen.

Of er beveiligingslekken gedicht worden vooralsnog ook onbekend. Safari 5.1.5 is de standaard browser voor Mac OS X die los is te downloaden voor Windows XP, Vista en 7.

Safari 5.1.4

Safari 5.1.4 is uitgebracht. Deze update van Apples browser kent diverse verbeteringen die de stabiliteit en snelheid van Safari vergroten.

Zo zijn de JavaScript prestaties verbeterd, start Safari met extensies sneller op en zijn enkele problemen met Flash, HTML5 en PDF opgelost. Ook wordt een privacy-probleem opgelost doordat sporen van surfsessies nu wel echt verwijderd worden (er blijven geen restanten achter) als de private browsing modus aanstaat.

Ten slotte fixt deze update voor Safari maar liefst 83 beveiligingslekken in Apples browser en de onderliggende Webkit-engine (die ook door Google Chrome wordt gebruikt). Aangeraden wordt om snel te updaten.

Safari 5.1.4 is de standaard browser voor Mac OS X die los is te downloaden voor Windows XP, Vista en 7.

Safari 5.1

Safari 5.1 is verschenen. In deze uitgave van Apples browser worden maar liefst 58 beveiligingslekken dichtgeplakt. De meeste kwetsbaarheden zitten in de WebKit rendering engine, maar ook andere onderdelen van Safari krijgen een pleister.

Onder andere het openen van speciaal geprepareerde pdf-bestanden en tiff-afbeeldingen en het bezoeken van kwaadaardige websites kon leiden tot het uitvoeren van schadelijke code. Een deel van de kwetsbaarheden in Safari zit alleen in de Windows-versie.

Verder zitten er ook enkele nieuwe functies in Safari 5.1. Zo heeft Apples browser in deze versie een 'leeslijst' (klik op het brilletje links op de bladwijzerwerkbalk) waar je interessante websites aan toe kunt voegen om ze later te bekijken als je nu even geen tijd hebt. Eveneens nieuw is dat Safari nu sessies kan hervatten, zodat bij het starten de websites van de vorige keer worden geopend (instellen in paneel Algemeen).

De privacy is beter gewaarborgd door het nieuwe paneel Privacy waarin je makkelijk alle gegevens kunt verwijderen die websites op je computer achterlaten. Ook cookies van derde partijen en adverteerders kunnen hier geblokkeerd worden.

Gebruikers van het nieuwe Mac OS X Lion krijgen bovendien sandbox-beveiliging van Safari, zodat ze beter beschermd worden tegen alle gevaren op internet. Deze bescherming zit niet in de versies voor Windows of oudere Mac OS X varianten.

Ten slotte zijn de stabiliteit van Safari en de ondersteuning voor HTML5 en CSS3 verbeterd, zijn de zoekopties uitgebreid, is veilig automatisch aanvullen geïmplementeerd en kunnen downloads naar het bureaublad gesleept worden.

Safari 5.1 is de standaard browser voor Mac OS X die los is te downloaden voor Windows XP, Vista en 7.

Release notes:
Deze update bevat nieuwe functies, waaronder:

  • Leeslijst: U kunt eenvoudig webpagina's en koppelingen aan uw leeslijst toevoegen, zodat u deze kunt bekijken wanneer u er tijd voor hebt.
  • Nieuwe procesarchitectuur: Safari is opnieuw geprogrammeerd, waardoor de stabiliteit verbeterd is en de reactiesnelheid is verhoogd. 
  • Hervatten: In het paneel 'Algemeen' van de Safari-voorkeuren kunt u instellen dat bij het starten van Safari de vensters worden geopend die in de laatste browsersessie geopend waren.
  • Meer privacy: Via het nieuwe paneel 'Privacy' in de Safari-voorkeuren kunt u eenvoudig gegevens verwijderen die websites mogelijk op uw computer achterlaten. 

Andere verbeteringen: 

  • Veilig automatisch vullen: Met Safari kunt u formulieren snel invullen en uw persoonlijke gegevens privé houden. 
  • Zoekoptie: Wanneer u zoekt in Safari, kunt u opgeven of u wilt zoeken naar tekst die de tekst bevat die u in het zoekveld typt of naar tekst die met deze zoektekst begint. 
  • Downloads slepen: U kunt nu onderdelen uit het venster 'Downloads' slepen, zodat u gedownloade bestanden snel en eenvoudig op het bureaublad kunt plaatsen.
  • Geavanceerde webtechnologieën: Safari biedt nu ondersteuning voor schermvullende webpagina's, het cachen van media met behulp van de HTML5-programmacache, MathML, Web Open Font Format, automatische woordafbreking volgens CSS3, verticale tekst volgens CSS3, tekstbenadrukking volgens CSS3, Window.onError en opgemaakte XML-bestanden.
  • Nieuwe extensie-API's: Ontwikkelaars kunnen nu gebruikmaken van nieuwe Safari-extensieondersteuning voor popovers, menu's, nieuwe eventklassen en interactie met Reader.
  • CFNetwork

    Available for: Windows 7, Vista, XP SP2 or later

    Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to a cross-site scripting attack

    Description: In certain situations, Safari may treat a file as HTML, even if it is served with the 'text/plain' content type.

Safari 5.0.3

Safari 5.0.3 is uitgebracht door Apple. In deze release worden enkele verbeteringen doorgevoerd die met name de stabiliteit van de browser ten goede komen. Verder is de popup-blokkeerder verbeterd en zijn enkele problemen met het afspelen van video's opgelost.

Ten slotte worden maar liefst 27 beveiligingslekken dichtgeplakt in de WebKit-motor van Safari. De meeste van deze lekken zijn ernstig en kunnen ervoor zorgen dat kwaadwillenden schadelijke code op de pc of Mac van een slachtoffer kunnen uitvoeren.

Lees de verdere veranderingen hieronder in de uitgave-opmerkingen. Safari 5.0.3 is de standaard browser voor Mac OS X die los is te downloaden voor Windows XP, Vista en 7.
