I've got a solution to get Saft running with Safari 3.0.3. Please take a look at my blog.
For all non-German-speaking people: Go to /Library/InputManagers/Saft and show package content of Saft.bundle via context menu (I hope this is the correct menu item in english). Go to Contents and edit the Info.plist. Look for SaftSupportedSafariBuild and add a new array with a string with the value 522.12.1
Save the file and restart Safari. Now Saft will load correctly. This works for me from the first day of Safari 3.0.3 (now this will be 5 or 6 days).

Works! - nobones
Works like a charm; funny that there is still no update since it looks to be solved so easy..Bundy, you can edit plist-files in textedit.
Thanks or the info,
Cheers nobo

Thanks heaps Kopflos & nobones,using textedit worked a treat, as you said nobones what an easy fix. I too wonder why the masses are waiting for something so simple.
I love the functionality of Saft so much I felt like an eagle with its wings clipped, great to have it back.

Hey thank you very much for the tip. Worked like a charm. I guess this was too much trouble for the developer to provide for paid users.Wednesday, August 08 2007 @ 10:54 AM PDT

Thank you, Thomas!And: "I guess this was too much trouble for the developer to provide for paid users."
I'm a longtime Saft user (oh well, this longtime is short compared to my personal computer history ;-) which is short compared to my age :-D) and I've always been worried by the way Saft is tied so rigidly to the Safari version which makes us extremely dependent on Hao Li to supply us with a new version of Saft each time Safari is updated the slightest bit. Any time Hao Li catches a cold (heaven forbid!) and can't work on an update we're @$$€d.
Makes me go "hm..."

Solving Safari 3.0.3 Error - Michael Blasco
well, it seems to load properly, but I've run across a problem.I have a set of links I open up using the "Open in Tabs" option at the bottom of the contextual menu.
When I start to go through the tabs, and close one, it jumps to a tab in the middle of the set of tabs, making that tab window active. It should just proceed to the tab immediately to the right of the closed one - but doesn't.
This "need to update" with every small change in Safari is making me grow weary of waiting for this author to update Saft. He should just make it work with any version - not a specific one.
What other options is there for services like Saft - I'll be looking around...

It should just proceed to the tab immediately to the right of the closed one - but doesn't. I've had this happen before, usually when opening a lot of tabs at once. I have Saft set to load tabs in "Last Selected Order", and "Selection" happens once the tabbed page is loaded. So, if one tab takes longer than another to load, the page order gets jumbled and does not follow the "right of the current" order I have it set to. The easy fix is to untick the "Focus Last Selected Tab" option in Saft.Saturday, August 11 2007 @ 09:44 AM PDT

Thank You!I, too, felt lost without Saft and was even considering downgrading Safari so I could still use it. :)

Just open the info.plist file in text edit (Make a backup first) Then scroll to the end and copy say the last entry <string>522.12.1</string> add a new line by placing the curser at the beginning of the just copied string and hit return then paste the copy in to the new line at the top (You may need to tab to get them all to line up then modify the version number to the version you are wishing to use (It will need to be the same seed so for this example 522.xx.x but not 523.xx.x) Then save and relaunch Safari.How ever - Please Mr Hao Li throw us a bone sir. You had better hope noone else develops a viable alternative to Saft or you will be screwwed. Your clients will leap in droves.
<array>
<string>522.12.1</string>
<string>522.12</string>
<string>522.11</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
