<p>Safari 5.1.4 is available for Mac OS X 10.7 and OS X 10.6.8, and is a recommended update to all Safari users. Users can download the latest version via Software Update from the  Apple menu or <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070">from Apple directly</a>.</p>

<p>The official change list is as follows:</p>

<ul>

<li>Improve JavaScript performance up to 11% over Safari 5.1.3* </li>

<li>Improve responsiveness when typing into the search field after changing network configurations, or with an intermittent network connection </li>

<li>Address issues that prevented printing U.S. Postal Service shipping labels and embedded PDFs </li>

<li>Preserve links in PDFs saved from webpages </li>
