It's not just Mountain Lion that came out this morning—Apple has also released Safari 6 for OS X Lion users. The updated version of Apple's browser contains many of the same features included in Safari for Mountain Lion, including the "Smart Search" field, offline reading list, Do Not Track capabilities, and a new password pane. Baidu has also been added as a built-in search option for Chinese Safari users.
In addition to the new features, Safari 6 also contains a handful of bug fixes. For example, Apple added the ability to swipe to navigate PDFs within Safari, and to have Safari restore your Reading List status upon relaunch. The browser can now also restore your cookies after you turn off Privacy Mode without restarting, and a bug that affected full-screen video on sites with positioned content has been fixed.
Though John Siracusa's review focuses on Safari within Mountain Lion, he discusses in detail the same features that are now available to Lion users. So, if you're interested in finding out more about how some of those features work, head over to the review while you download the new version.
