They i know that Safari 4 use WebKit (see my first message), but i suppose you also know that Safari 3 also use WebKit and so does Safari 2...

For the 1st version i don't remember if webkit has a name at that time.



I also know that webkit can ba shared by other applications (its a library, so it's its purpose to be shared). But it was also the same things for many years (so does for other libs).



But it doesn't explain at all the need to reboot.

- Previous versions (also shared) do not reboot at all.

- I also suppose that MacOS API has a way to check if a library is currently used by other softwares (in order to ask the user to quit if required).

Some updaters do this (Acrobat reader to name one, but it's not a good example for other purpose).



Sorry to disturb with my remarks, but i feel really annoyed by the 10 reboots i have to do this morning in our office, only to make sure the default browser is updated.

I know i could also reject the update, but i don't think it's a good thing.
