AppleScript to download and launch WebKit+SVG Nightly

Update: NightShift is a free app that handles WebKit Nighlty updating much better than my script. Use it instead.

Apple provides a page with easy access to the latest WebKit Nightly build (WebKit is the open source rendering engine that powers Safari and many other apps).

Additionally, the latest WebKit Nightlies include SVG support! Cool!

If you like to live on the bleeding edge (and enjoy SVG support in Safari), the only problem is that it’s a little bit of a pain to download the latest build every single day. So I’ve written an AppleScript that will download and launch the latest nightly. Place it in your Script Menu and enjoy!

If you’re on OS X, click the applescript link below to open (but not execute) the script in Script Editor. Then, save it to your ~/Library/Scripts folder for easy access from your Script Menu.
