There is no Safari update in the MAS!

On Apple's Safari page there's an Upgrade Now button.

But pressing it takes you to a MAS page for El Capitan, not Safari. And Safari 9.1.2 is NOT included in the 10.11.6 update. And it doesn't show up under updates in my App Store. I've already installed 10.11.6. and have Safari 9.1.1.

So WTH are we supposed to get Safari 9.1.2?! 😕

Apple's website says "Safari is included with OS X. To get the most recent version of Safari, install the most recent version of OS X from the Mac App Store." But Safari is not part of the package.

Way to go, Apple!

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 3.0 GHz i7, 1TB Fusion HD, 16GB RAM

You need to Install OSX 10.11.6 El Cap to get 9.1.2. That's they way to get it. Just because you cannot see it inside the Package does not mean it will not get updated.

Safari is part of OSx, and Gets updated with it. The Package construction for the Update is meaningless for the existence of Safari. Just Update OSx and you will get Safari 9.1.2.

As I said in the first post, "I've already installed 10.11.6. and have Safari 9.1.1."

Are you saying when you open Safari, and choose from the Safari Menu, It still shows 9.1.1?

What does it say in the Apple Menu->About This Mac? Does it say you have 10.11.6?

If so, then something went wrong with the Update. I just installed 10.11.6 And Safari was updated to 9.1.2

FWIW, 10.11.6 comes with Safari 10.

That's correct.

I already posted a screenshot showing the contents of the 10.11.6 update package and Safari was not included.

The update was downloaded directly from the MAS. I don't know how your Safari got updated.

The 10.11.6 update page says nothing about a Safari update, this is what the changes are:

Beats me. I did update from a dev 10.11.6 seed. and there was a Safari 10 dev seed. Maybe that's why.

I just looked at the App Store and neither the Safari 10 update nor the 10.11.6 update are listed in recent updates or Purchased. It's a mystery.

That's because you installed dev versions. 🙂

Safari 10 hasn't been released yet.

Safari 10 beta has been released to developers.

Apple today has made the Safari 10 beta available for users on El Capitan and Yosemite. This means that developers can test the upcoming version of Safari without having to update their entire operating system.

On both macOS Sierra 10.12 and today's El Capitan 10.11.5 (when Safari 10 is installed), Safari will support App Extensions built from a combination of JavaScript, CSS and native code written in Objective-C or Swift.

actually I think it's because Apple screwed up. I should have had the 9.1.2 dev version.

Try installing the 10.11.6 Combo Update over your current one.

pshaw. I don't have a beta version of Safari 10 anywhere. It's not marked as such when it was previously. It's marked as a release. so a pox on all your houses. 😁
