Apple has just released the 10.4.11 update for Mac OS X Tiger, which has two inter­est­ing tid­bits. First of all, it lists “Improves com­pat­i­bil­ity when using Open­Type fonts in QuarkExpress.” I would be really inter­ested in know­ing more about exactly what has changed here. Unfor­tu­nately, given how tight-​lipped Apple usu­ally is about these types of things, I doubt I’ll find out.

The second item per­tains to Safari 3. Start­ing with this update, Safari 3 will be the default browser. Now, this is really great, but it intro­duces some prob­lems with my work­flow. If I install this update, how am I going to be able to con­tinue to test my designs in Safari 2.x?

As it turns out, Michel Fortin has gone through the trou­ble of cre­at­ing stand­alone ver­sions of every Safari install­ment. So go ahead, jump on that update from Apple, then grab a stand­alone copy of Safari 2.
