On Monday, Apple sent out updates for Safari 6 and Safari 7. Those updates applied to OS X Lion, which was released in 2011, OS X Mountain Lion, which hit the light of day in 2012, and OS X Mavericks, which was released less than two months ago this year.
Interestingly though, the updates did not apply to OS X Snow Leopard, which was released in 2009. The update snub is a likely indication that Apple is about to cease its support for the operating system, which is roughly four years old at this point. The most current version of Safari for Snow Leopard is 5.1.10, which was last updated back in September.
