Alongside the release of the OS X Mountain Lion developer preview earlier today, Apple also seeded developers with a build of the upcoming Safari 5.2 software update. The update, which will come pre-installed on OS X Mountain Lion, brings a number of tweaks and new features to Safari users on Mac OS X Lion.
New features in Safari 5.2 include:
- Unified address bar and search bar
- "Reader" icon always appears - turns blue when the feature can be used
- URLs will now display the domain of the website, and any specific path will be grayed out
It's unclear when Apple will be releasing Safari 5.2 to the public, but it's safe to say it will be around the same time as the OS X Mountain Lion release in the Summer of this year.
