Apple issues Safari 8.0.3, 7.1.3 and 6.2.3 betas to developers with bug fixes, general improvements

Apple on Wednesday seeded new Safari beta builds to developers, including Safari 8.0.3 for OS X Yosemite, Safari 7.1.3 for Mavericks and 6.2.3 for Mountain Lion, with improvements to browser extensions and more.

The latest Safari builds come less than one week following Apple's release of Safari 8.0.2, which brought fixes for a number of issues related to Web page viewing history syncing and various bugs related to iCloud Keychain.

With the new builds, Apple is asking developers to concentrate on extension compatibility, Password AutoFill and HTML5 video playback for "popular video sites." Other focus areas include editing bookmarks in the Favorites Bar and Bookmarks Sidebar, website notifications and using Web Inspector during website debugging activities.

Developers can download Safari 8.0.3 for OS X Yosemite, Safari 7.1.3 for OS X Mavericks and 6.2.3 for OS X Mountain Lion through Apple's developer portal.

I'm kind of surprised Apple continues to support Mountain Lion. There weren't any machines that could run ML but not Mavericks.

Me too, I thought the rule was that they only supported the current release and the previous one. But since they increased the frequency of releases to annually, maybe they modified the policy to the current release and the two previous ones.

They had been doing that way (Actually, after Mavericks they were supporting four releases at once, since Snow Leopard kept support until April 2014) for a while, but like I said, there weren't any machines cut off between ML and Mavericks.

Everybody else’s works fine. Why not fix your screwed up installation instead of making stupid claims.
