New Safari Features In Latest Leopard Preview?

A recent post on an Apple developer’s blog Musings from Mars says that there are new improvements in the latest Leopard preview.

Safari 3.0 is said to have:

Tabbed Browsing Enhancements
Following the lead of other browsers, Apple has implemented a customizable tab-bar so that users can re-order tabs via drag-and-drop. Apple has also extended the concept to be able to make a window from a tab by dragging a tab off of the tab bar.

Search Improvements
The Safari search option is now integrated into the browser window much like Firefox’s implementation. However search results are displayed all at once by default rather than Firefox’s one-at-a-time approach.

Resizable TEXTAREAs
Safari will allow the user to resize a text area (via a drag corner) in an HTML form and dynamically redraw the web page to fit the new size.
Leopard was first seen at this year’s Worldwide Developer Conference, and is should be shipping by next Spring.
