    31Safari 2.0.x for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or a 10.4.x update should work correctly with locally-built versions of WebKit in nearly all ways. Ideally there would be no incompatibilities at all, but occasionally it is necessary to introduce an incompatibility so that WebKit can evolve without amassing globs of special-case backwards-compatibility code.

    5 This page is intended to list all of the deliberate incompatibilities between using Safari 2.0.x in Tiger and a locally-built version of WebKit. If you know of any other incompatibilities, then either this page needs updating or (more likely) they are unintentional bugs. Please use bugs.webkit.org to report such bugs.

     9Recent changes to the icon database have moved it towards a fully asynchronous model where all i/o to the disk occurs on a background thread.  It was necessary to make use of notifications to alert the browser that an icon has been received either from network or from the disk.  Safari 2.0.4 (Tiger) and the current Safari 3.0.3 Beta (Tiger/Wiindows) do not listen for all of these notifications and therefore site icons will seem to work poorly in Bookmarks, History, and the location field.
