Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Both.

 The 1.6.1 version has been merged (this ticket is 3 years old). But Github
 bump their version requirement from time to time and the warning keeps
 coming back. As far as I can see they are using the user agent to decide
 if a browser is compatible, which is a bad thing to do.

 There is a much more up to date version of WebKit in the WebKit branch,
 however it has other problems, in particular, review.haiku-os.org only
 renders a webpage, which is why there was no release of it yet (other
 pages work just fine and I have no idea why this particular one wouldn't).

 So, it would be great if Github would stop thinking we're Safari, and we
 should also update the browser :)
