Following last month's developer seed, Apple today released Safari 5.1.4 to the public. The release is available for OS X Lion and Snow Leopard, as well as Windows. Apple highlights the following improvements on OS X Lion:
Safari 5.1.4 for OS X Lion includes changes that:
- Improve JavaScript performance up to 11% over Safari 5.1.3* - Improve responsiveness when typing into the search field after changing network configurations, or with an intermittent network connection - Address an issue that could cause webpages to flash white when switching between Safari windows - Address issues that prevented printing U.S. Postal Service shipping labels and embedded PDFs - Preserve links in PDFs saved from webpages - Fix an issue that could make Flash content appear incomplete after using gesture zooming - Fix an issue that could cause the screen to dim while watching HTML5 video - Improve stability, compatibility, and startup time when using extensions - Allow cookies set during regular browsing to be available after using Private Browsing - Fix an issue that could cause some data to be left behind after pressing the “Remove All Website Data” button
Safari 5.1.4 weighs in at 44.71 MB for Lion users, 47.52 MB for Snow Leopard users, and 36.72 MB for Windows users.
Update: Software Update is offering Safari 5.1.4 for download, but Apple's support pages and the Safari download page have reverted to showing information on Safari 5.1.2
