Earlier quoted context omitted.

The article doesn't contain the term 'Safari-tab'. It does have 'Safari-like tabs' in it, by which I would imagine they mean tabs, like you get in the Safari user interface.

what happens if the app already have tabs inside? Like sublime for example

They meant all apps made by Apple, not random apps, as far as I could tell.

wow. what a great innovation. rename the damn thing and auto unlock. i hoped for new stuff. even a /bin/bash upgrade would be nice. I mean: GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin15) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. but, no. all we get every year are either 3d icons, or flat icons, round corners, new name...

homebrew is your friend. They are not going to upgrade anything that has gone to GPL3.

Will they update the unix layer? A lot of the CLI tools there are positively prehistoric. Maybe while they're at it they can add a real package manager too.

Mostly not, due to licensing. The GNU utils that transitioned to GPL v3 (eg Bash) are kind of stuck there in 2007.

I could be wrong but I think he said all apps without any developer changes..
