Yosemite Version of Safari Only Shows the Domain Name in Address Field ★

David Yanofsky, writing for Quartz:

At Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference today the company rolled out a new look for its web browser, Safari. Apple executives didn’t point it out, but sharp-eyed observers have noticed one significant change to the interface. The address bar truncates URLs to the domain-name level.

This means that a URL such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansel_Adams will show up as en.wikipedia.org.

Seems like something that ought to be a preference setting. (Maybe it already is, but if so I haven’t found it.)

Good rundown of yesterday’s announcements:

Apple is also expanding its back-end support by integrating its recent acquisition, TestFlight, right into the tools that its developers are offered. TestFlight will allow developers to offer 1,000 users beta versions of its apps. That’s 1,000 individual users, not devices – an important distinction that any developer who has ever beta tested its apps will appreciate.

Previously, a developer could only provision 100 devices across all users. This extended beta testing suite will lead to better, more bug-free apps.

So much to digest in one day.
