Today Apple publicly released iOS 8.3 for all devices that are capable of running versions of iOS 8. The update is a fairly substantial one that brings various improvements in performance, bug fixes, and new features to iOS. While the changes are too long to cover in detail, there are a few points worth highlighting in this release.
iOS 8 also brings a number of improvements in performance, as well as bug fixes. I haven't had much time to verify any claims of improved performance, but iOS has generally performed well in most areas to begin with. One area that is notably absent from Apple's list of areas with improved performance is the Music app, which continues to have serious issues with scrolling performance in both the list view and cover flow view even on Apple's latest devices.

In June 2005 in efforts of KHTML criticisms over the lack of access to change logs, Apple moved the development source code and bug tracking of WebCore and JavaScriptCore to OpenDarwin. They have also open-sourced WebKit. The source code is for non-renderer aspects of the browser such as its GUI elements and the remaining proprietary.[20] The final stable version of Safari 2 and the last version released exclusively with Mac OS X, Safari 2.0.4, was updated on January 10, 2006, for Mac OS X. It was only available within Mac OS X Update 10.4.4, and it delivered fixes to layout and CPU usage issues among other improvements.[21]
On June 11, 2012, Apple released a developer preview of Safari 6.0 with a feature called iCloud Tabs, which syncs with open tabs on any iOS or other OS X device that ran the latest software. It updated new privacy features, including an "Ask websites not to track me" preference and the ability for websites to send OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion users notifications, though it removed RSS support.[62] Safari 6 had the Share Sheets capability in OS X Mountain Lion. The Share Sheet options were: Add to Reading List, Add Bookmark, Email this Page, Message, Twitter, and Facebook. Tabs with full-page previews were added, too.[63] The sixth major version of Safari, it added options to allow pages to be shared with other users via email, Messages, Twitter, and Facebook, as well as making some minor performance improvements.[64] It added supports for .mw-parser-output .monospacedfont-family:monospace,monospace-webkit-calc() in CSS. Additionally, various features were removed including Activity Window, a separate Download Window, direct support for RSS feeds in the URL field, and bookmarks. The separate search field and the address bar were also no longer available as a toolbar configuration option. Instead, it was replaced by the smart search field, a combination of the address bar and the search field.[64]
Safari 7 was announced at WWDC 2013, [65] and it brought a number of JavaScript performance improvements. It made uses of Top Site and Sidebar, Shared Links, and Power Saver which paused unused plugins.[66] Safari 7 for OS X Mavericks and Safari 6.1 for Lion and Mountain Lion were all released along with OS X Mavericks in the special event on October 22, 2013.[67]
Safari 10 was shipped with macOS Sierra and released for OS X Yosemite and OS X El Capitan on September 20, 2016.[70] It had a redesigned Bookmark and History views, and double-clicking will centralized focus on a particular folder. The update redirected Safari extensions to be saved directly to Pocket and Dic Go. Software improvements included Autofill quality from the Contrast card and Web Inspector Timelines Tab, in-line sub-headlines, bylines, and publish dates.[71][72][73] This version tracks and re-applies zoomed level to websites, and legacy plug-ins were disabled by default in favor of HTML5 versions of websites. Recently closed tabs can be reopened via the History menu, or by holding the "+" button in the tab bar, and using Shift-Command-T. When a link opens in a new tab; it is now possible to hit the back button or swipe to close it and go back to the original tab. Debugging is now supported on the Web Inspector.[70] Safari 10 also includes several security updates, including fixes for six WebKit vulnerabilities and issues related to Reader and Tabs. The first version of Safari 10 was released on September 20, 2016, and the last version (10.1.2) was released on July 19, 2017.[74]
Bug fixes and stability improvements. We've fixed a bug that was making caption languages display incorrectly, so you're now able to see the caption language options along with your device language. We also made a few performance enhancements.
New Feature: Timing will now track the current Slack channel in addition to the team!
New Feature: Timing will now track the selected email in Outlook!
New Feature: You can now hide the Timing icon from your menu item while keeping e.g. today's tracked time and Productivity Score.
Improvement: Improved performance and memory usage, especially on the Details screen. In general, Timing should feel even snappier now.
Improvement: More reliable path tracking for Firefox, especiall version 57 and up.
Improvement: More reliable path tracking for Terminal.app and iTerm.
Improvement: Added support for path tracking in the new version of Skype.
Improvement: Improved compatibility with Bartender.
Improvement: Made the timeline overlay display long paths with multiple lines, so you can better see what you worked on.
Improvement: Added a "Timesheet (Week + Day + Notes)" preset to Timing Professional so you can better generate Task reports that contain your Task notes.
Bugfix: Fixed a rare condition where Timing would not resume tracking after the screensaver has stopped.
Bugfix: Fixed the Task suggestion overlay not appearing for "What did you do?/What are you going to do?" popovers on secondary monitors.
Bugfix: Made the "What did you do?/What are you going to do?" popovers movable, so you can now use them even when macOS misplaces them.
Bugfix: Fixed a minor issue with generating reports via AppleScript.
Bugfix: Made the "Don't include Tasks when computing Productivity Score" optional functional again.
Bugfix: Fixed tracking for fullscreen YouTube videos in fullscreen Safari windows (yes, double fullscreen!).
And several more smaller improvements to further improve Timing's usability and reliability. (Seriously, there have been more than 100 changes in this version in total.)

The generational improvement in CPU performance and lower price of C5 instances, which combined result in a 25% price/performance improvement relative to C4 instances, benefit a broad spectrum of workloads that currently run on C3 or C4 instances. For floating point intensive applications, Intel AVX-512 enables significant improvements in delivered TFLOPS by effectively extracting data level parallelism. Customers looking for absolute performance for graphics rendering and HPC workloads that can be accelerated with GPUs or FPGAs should also evaluate other instance families in the Amazon EC2 portfolio that include those resources to find the ideal instance for their workload.
Currently, there are no plans to end of life Previous Generation instances. However, with any rapidly evolving technology the latest generation will typically provide the best performance for the price and we encourage our customers to take advantage of technological advancements.
Applications running on server editions of Microsoft Windows that make heavy use of loopback connections may see latency and performance improvements if SIO_LOOPBACK_FAST_PATH is enabled. The system property "jdk.net.useFastTcpLoopback" controls whether the JDK enables SIO_LOOPBACK_FAST_PATH on Microsoft Windows. It is disabled by default but can be enabled by setting the system property on the command line with -Djdk.net.useFastTcpLoopback or -Djdk.net.useFastTcpLoopback=true.
Applications running on server editions of Microsoft Windows that make heavy use of java.nio.channels.FileChannel.transferTo may see performance improvements if the implementation uses TransmitFile. TransmitFile makes use of the Windows cache manager to provide high-performance file data transfer over sockets. The system property "jdk.nio.enableFastFileTransfer" controls whether the JDK uses TransmitFile on Microsoft Windows. It is disabled by default but can be enabled by setting the system property on the command line with -Djdk.nio.enableFastFileTransfer or -Djdk.nio.enableFastFileTransfer=true. 2ff7e9595c
