Newly revealed documents suggest that Apple could launch Safari 5 with an improved RSS reader, the addition of Bing search support and expanded HTML5 support. In addition, evidence of the final release of Mac OS X 10.6.4 has also surfaced.

French website MacGenerationreported Saturday images of new English-language support documents alleged to be from Apple, containing a list of features in Safari 5.
