The AEBS arrived today along with a lot of packaging.
The OmniGroup blog had this interesting tidbit today:
We’ve also gotten pretty far with integrating the new Safari 4 beta engine: it’s now integrated into our internal builds of OmniWeb 6, and we’re bringing that work back to OmniWeb 5 so it can make it into the 5.9 sneaky peek builds.
