TESTING OLDER VERSIONS OF SAFARI FREE
I’m providing these files free of charge so that web developers can test their website for interoperability within many version of Safari with less hassle. The launcher script has been modified to copy Apple’s Safari On Leopard preventing older versions of Safari from launching.Īs a consequence, preferences for the modified Safari downloadsĪre stored separately from the Apple-provided Safari, and The bundle identifier for Safari 2.0 and later isĬhanged to to avoid a version-check This means that when one SafariĬrash, the version number will appear in the error message. I name it with the appropriate version number and change Instead of naming the old safari executable “TrueSafari”, There are two differences however:Īdded a nice version-number badge on the icon so you canĭistinguish different versions when side by side in the dock. I have documented the procedure I use to create the self-contained applications on my weblog.
TESTING OLDER VERSIONS OF SAFARI MAC OS X
This version of Safari works on Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) through 10.4 (Tiger). They depend on a few private frameworks and symbols in the operating system which are no longer here in later versions. These versions only run on Mac OS X 10.3. There’s a small problem when running 2.0.x on Leopard though: the javascript alert function does not work. All these versions should work fine on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard). Tiger shipped originally with Safari 2.0. Safari 3 for Leopard is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) although Safari 3 for Tiger works fine on Leopard. Leopard shipped originally with Safari 3.0. If you need to test Safari 4 on Leopard, use the Leopard version in the next section. Thanks to the jQuery Project for hosting some of these files on their CDN. Note: The files only contain English and French localizations to make them smaller. HTTP requests and cookies however are still handled by the system and may not work exactly the same. They will mimic original Safari rendering and javascript behaviours.
These special versions of Safari use the original Web Kit framework that came with them, bundled inside the application. Thus, you would normally need a separate installation of Mac OS X for each version of Safari you want to test a website into. This means that if you preserve an old version of Safari to run it on a newer version of Mac OS, it will use the newer Web Kit found in the system and you will get the same results as with the newer version. Safari normally uses the Web Kit framework found inside Mac OS X to render web pages and execute javascript. You should think about using another browser (Chrome, Firefox) instead if the newer Safari version is problematic for you. If you are using an older version of Safari to browse the web, you’re exposed to known Safari exploits that have been fixed in later versions and that hackers around the web know about. It is not safe to browse the web with old Safari versions. I’m not going to provide such images however. A workaround would be to keep old version of the OS, which includes Safari, inside a virtual machine image (such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion). Newer Safari releases make it difficult to create self-contained version, and when they’re possible they usually won’t work on different OS versions, making them rather pointless. I’m no longer making up-to-date version of Multi-Safari.
