This can be helpful to the user in many areas, such as if a site had a download for Tiger, and a newer version for Leopard that includes new technologies not available in Tiger, by detecting the user is on Tiger they can opt to suggest the proper download (much like www.getfirefox.com does for OS detection). This makes things easier for mere mortals who don't know about their OS version, just that they want this piece of software. The Mozilla Bugzilla bug has been linked in the URL field. 76215 1 dev+webkit 2008-04-02 23:47:25 -0700 The OS version was added to the default UA string in <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/28499>, which actually includes the bugfix version and not just the major release version. 76216 2 me.at.work 2008-04-02 23:56:47 -0700 Matt: Ahh, I'd gotten confused by this: http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/22701 I blame trac search, I should have checked useragent.org first: Your User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.13 Is there a bug for a page like about: then, that tells you your UA? 76217 3 jruderman 2008-04-03 00:02:39 -0700 Indeed, http://delorie.com:81/ says the Safari included with Tiger is: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.13 Interesting bit about dots vs underscores in the commit message for http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/28499. 83720 4 me.at.work 2008-06-17 18:18:59 -0700 (In reply to comment #3) > Indeed, http://delorie.com:81/ says the Safari included with Tiger is: > > User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) > AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.13 I see 3.1, and Tiger came with Safari 2. You upgraded. 83743 5 jruderman 2008-06-18 00:10:27 -0700 By "Tiger" I mean "the current version of Tiger". It includes Safari 3.1.1 now. 83744 6 me.at.work 2008-06-18 00:22:12 -0700 Ah, so 10.4.11 does include Safari 3. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306297 Did not know that.
