What's it all about, Alfie?

O happy days! Yesterday at WWDC in the Safari Series of talks, Apple announced that Safari 5.0 was going to be released, and this morning it has shown up in Software Updates! Fantastic news. The big improvements are in HTML 5 support, the Nitro Engine (JavaScript), adding the Bing search as an option, and probably biggest of all are the extensions.

Now you can write extensions in a manner similar to Firefox and Chrome. In fact, the talk had Cabel from Panic showing a new extension - Coda Notes, that allows you to 'mark up' a web page, and then send it all to an email address where the reader can see what you saw, and the marks you made. Very neat looking.

Well, it's great to see Safari keeping up with the improvements in Chrome. The competition is good for both.
