Problem is that it doesn’t update itself automatically – and every night there’s a beautiful new build that comes out – which I simply must have.
So in order to save you time – here’s a little script that I put together this afternoon that will download the latest build at the push of a button.

It seems that Apple left one thing out of the equation for Safari 3.1 – colour adherence. With my new Dell 2408WFP, I was getting quite stroppy – as no matter how many times I would calibrate it – it would continually not show the correct colours as compared to my MacBook Pro screen [matte] – or so it seemed.
