Mac OS X 10.3.9 Brings Safari Updates

It may be less than two weeks before Tiger pounces onto the market, but Apple still has Panther users in mind. The company has released Mac OS X version 10.3.9 that resolves a number of minor issues, including SSL compatibility in Safari. The update also fixed erratic trackpad behavior on recent PowerBooks.

Safari, the Web browser designed for Mac OS X, now renders SSL pages faster and adds new trusted certificates for compatibility with more secure Web sites, Apple says. An issue that causes certain Web sites to alert users of a "bad server response" has also been resolved. Mac OS X 10.3.9 can be downloaded via Software Update. Detailed information on the update is available on Apple's support site.
