Safari 4.04 available

Safari 4.04 is available via software update. No word yet on whether the recent improvements to the webkit inspector landed in this update.

From the release notes:

This update is recommended for all Safari users and includes improvements to performance, stability, and security including:

Improved JavaScript performance
Improved Full History Search performance for users with a large number of history items
Stability improvements for 3rd-party plug-ins, the search field and Yahoo! Mail
For detailed information on the security content of this update, please visit this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222.

Update: The Webkit Inspector improvements noted above are not included in Safari 4.04.

Update: It appears the keyboard shortcut for Top Sites, Command-Shift-1 has been removed from Safari 4.04. If you use this keyboard shortcut, you may want to hold off on upgrading.

Update: Looks like the shortcut has been changed to Alt-Command-1. That’s the sort of change you would expect to be detailed in the release notes, if your release notes had any meaningful, detailed descriptions.
