   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released [1]Safari 9.1 for OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks, 10.10.5
   Yosemite, and 10.11 to 10.11.3 El Capitan ' it's bundled into 10.11.4
   El Capitan (see '[2]OS X 10.11.4 Improves Notes, iBooks, and Live Photo
   Support,' 21 March 2016). The update brings an updated version of
   WebKit with enhanced support for images, CSS, and Web formats, plus it
   improves Web Inspector performance and prevents JavaScript dialogs from
   blocking access to other Web pages. It also receives several security
   patches, including a cookie storage issue that existed in the Top Sites
   page, memory corruption issues that could lead to arbitrary code
   execution when processing maliciously crafted Web content, and a
   caching issue with WebKit character encoding (see this [3]security
   content article at Apple's Support Web site). Safari 9.1 is available
   only via Software Update. (Free, 10.9+)
