As usual, the release notes are extremely informative (laugh), stating: This update is recommended for all Safari users and improves the stability of the Nitro JavaScript engine and includes the latest compatibility and security fixes."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1247111574.usr105634.jpg" /></em></p><p>According to the Apple <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3666" target="_blank">announcement</a>, this fixes a few security problems involving WebKit and <em>"memory allocation for numeric character references."</em> It also fixes some stability problems with the "Nitro Javascript" engine. The issues involved affect OS X as well as Windows XP and Vista. This is also one of the updates that requires restart after installation. </p><p>I've had some periodic crashes, more so with this version than I had with the beta version for some reason so I'm hoping this will take care of that issue. Anyone else had random crashing? </p><p> </p>
