This update contains improvements to stability, compatibility, and security, including the following:
- Stability improvements for web applications that use WebSocket with certain proxy configurations
- Improvements to the appearance and layout of text with HTML5 ruby annotations

(The page on Safari 5.1 had older (v5.0.x) info when I first posted this, but Apple fixed that now.) Safari 5.1 Update for Snow Leopard lists several new features and improvements. As usual, the Download button goes to www.apple.com/safari/download/.
And here's the doc About the security content of Safari 5.1 and Safari 5.0.6.

New 2011 MacBook Air, Mac Mini and new ThunderBolt 27in Display:
The Apple store is back online now with new MacBook Air, Mini and Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-in) listed. (Was offline for changes early this morning.) No Mac Pro update seen yet, despite rumors (i.e. thunderbolt, new CPU, etc.)
BTW: Looks like the (non-Pro) MacBook is no longer listed (other than refurbs). Some sources say it will still be available to Edu customers. (Had a gut feeling about that - something similar happened some years ago with a low-end iMac model.)
