WebKit in Safari 27 Beta

WebKit (back during WWDC):

If you look through the lists of features and fixes in Safari 27, you’ll notice that, although there are 58 brand-new features and 525 fixes — the largest pile of fixes in any Safari release in recent memory — most of what is released is not about new things.

Most of this work has been about existing features behaving more correctly, handling more edge cases, and fitting together with other features the way you’d expect. We committed our time to increasing quality — that’s the story of this release and the year that led to it. [...]

If something has been bothering you, test it in Safari 27 beta. You might be pleasantly surprised. And if it hasn’t been fixed yet, file a bug report, or add a comment to an existing issue with a concrete scenario, a link to a real site, or a reduced test case. The more concrete the problem, the more helpful it is.

Sounds like it’s a bit of a Snow Leopard year for WebKit, too, not just the OSes.
