Close after Safari 1.0 has seen the light of day the new WebCore framework (or WebKit) that is part of the release independent developers embrace the new tool to replace the old HTML renderers. It comes as no surprise that two weblog utilities are the among the first to push out new versions recompiled for the new framework.

Shrook was released as a „Technology Preview“ a couple of days ago and does its HTML preview pane now with WebKit. And today, Kung-Log also advanced one number behind the point to embrace WebKit for its preview pane.

Always a bit ahead of the pack, the OmniGroup had released a beta version of their alternative browser OmniWeb that also uses the new rendering toolkit.

The good thing is: more and more applications are about to go one step further and make use of new web standards.
