Hello there!

For a while now I have not been able to download my customised nightly version of LWJGL with Safari. (OSX 10.12.3)
When I click the DOWNLOAD ZIP button the zip generates but the download won't start. Everything is fine if I use Google Chrome!

Thanks!

I can confirm. The developer console output:

[Error] Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted (blob:https://www.lwjgl.org/afdaa10e-f68c-4302-8195-e624789f2077, line 0)

Safari has a bug with client-side generated downloads. For that reason custom builds for Safari were disabled for a while. However, because the next version is solving the problem (Safari nightly should already work) we've decided to remove browser-sniffing code entirely. This also resulted in huge simplification of the UI code.

Fortunately, the problem only affects custom ZIP downloads. @Obsyd I'm sure they never worked for Safari, the customization interface was completely disabled. You could only download the full release in a pre-generated ZIP file.

If you still wish to download a bundle in ZIP form via Safari, the only option is to download it from GitHub.
