iOS 5 undoubtedly is the biggest update to iOS that brings so many features to the operating system. Another feature Apple brought in iOS 5 is that it now enables home screen web apps to take full advantage of Nitro Javascript found in Mobile Safari. It has turned out that it was an error that prevented home screen web apps to take advantage of Nitro Javascript in Safari that was introduced in iOS 4.3.
This is probably breaking my NDA to say this, but yes, they did. Web.app now has the “dynamic-codesigning” entitlement, which enables Nitro. (Source)
Now when iOS 5 becomes available in the fall, your home screen web apps will be able to take full advantage of Nitro Javascript…Nice
