Safari and J2.5 trouble

After the update to J2.5 the template does not work anymore.
In FF and IE it's OK but Safari only shows the PHP code but does not render the PHP page.

After examining a bit further and switching from PHP 5.2.7 to 5.3 I see also errors in FF.

It all seems to do with background rendering.
Missing vars etc.

Downgraded to 1.74 and problems are gone.

So be aware that this template is not compatible with J2.5

we will provide 2.5 templates soon

All templates are 100% compatible with Joomla 2.5. Here's the template that works on Joomla 2.5: demo.hotjoomlatemplates.com/wellness16

We will release HotStarts based on Joomla 2.5 soon...

OK it sounds hopeful. Currently I have version Wellness 1.6 on the website and can't find any versioning or release dates with the downloads.
Does it mean there have been or will be a new release?

For sure 1.6 is giving me serious trouble with J2.5
