After beta testing the build in the developer community for several weeks, Apple has released Safari 3.1, a new version of its Web browser.

Apple says this release features improvements to stability, compatibility, JavaScript performance and security. "Safari loads web pages 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2. Safari also runs JavaScript up to six times faster than other browsers, and is the first browser to support the latest innovative web standards needed to deliver the next generation of highly interactive Web 2.0 experiences. Safari 3.1 is the first browser to support the new video and audio tags in HTML 5 and the first to support CSS Animations. Safari also supports CSS Web Fonts, giving designers limitless choices of fonts to create stunning new web sites."

The new release is available for Leopard or Tiger here.
