CRAZY FROG ANIMATED SERIES

Safari v56 Overview

And still falling comfortably within my timetable for new builds...build 56. Build date: January 31st. Yea yea, STABLE, blah, blah. The most noticeable change with this one is the Page Load time out being switched from 30 to 60 seconds. The amount of bug fixes with this one is simply astounding compared to the past few. HyperCells STILL fail on the forums. If any Safari users would like to be able to use HyperCells again then please send feedback on this bug. I'm not sure if it's just me so far but right-clicking single words no longer brings up a contextual menu all the time. If you somehow get a hold of this build please let me know in the comments area if you have the same behavior. I, of course, will not be giving it out so don't ask. As always the change notes are included. Come on Apple, let's start seeing some new features!
