Safari 5 with Safari Reader may be released at WWDC

Safari 5 might be ready to go at Apple’s developer conference, WWDC, later this week. Although the focus of WWDC looks like it will mostly be mobile — that impending new iPhone and the just-released iPad are hot hot hot — the desktop version of Apple’s browser could get some love, too.

According to French Mac blog MacGeneration, Safari 5 will offer a big 25% bump in JavaScript rendering performance, a new more-readable article viewer called Safari Reader, and improved HTML5 support.

OS X 10.6.4 is also potentially on the cards for WWDC. MacGeneration says it will mostly just offer bug fixes, as well as Apple’s now-familiar line about enhancing “the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.”
