Which edition of the ECMAScript standard is actually implemented in Chrome V8?


Which edition of the ECMAScript standard is actually implemented in Chrome V8?

According to the introduction page to Chrome V8 on the Google Developers website, V8 implements the ECMA-262 5th edition specification (content last updated: September 17, 2012).

Yet on the front page of the Chrome V8 product on the Google Developer website it says that V8 implements the ECMA-262 3rd edition specification (content last updated June 17, 2014).

Aren't we already in the process of incorporating features from the ECMAScript 6th edition specification? I imagine we've fully implemented the 5th edition at this point.
