Object.observe is not in ES6 (there is no standard for it so far) and Node 4 contains it as well. I don't think it belongs on this list.

Agree @mzgol
@evanlucas this should go to ES2016 (Is there a list of ES2015/ES2016 that v8 supports? This could be in sync with that list)

Perhaps ES.Next or sth to that effect would be better; it's not final yet whether Object.observe will make it into 2016 AFAIK.

Ah good catch. While I agree it shouldn't be in the ES6 section, I do think it should be mentioned (somewhere). I'll remove it from here though

Object.observe is dead: https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2015-November/044684.html
With node v5.0.0 will come an updated v8 that includes additional ES6 features. This adds some of those additional features to the ES6 doc

|
Looks good now. :) |
|
Ooh, looking forward to getting these features natively :) |

Yea, I don't think this document was updated then.

Should we change this title to |

@evanlucas You are right … everybody still calls it ES6 for short. ;) What wording does v8 use? Just had a quick look but couldn't find anything. How about "ECMAScript 2015 (ES6)" (taken from MDN)? |
|
@fhemberger V8 team uses exactly what you are suggesting: http://v8project.blogspot.ch/ |
|
Ok, I'm adding it to the commit and merge it into the v5.0.0 release branch |
|
Merged to |
|
How could these v5 features be marked exclusively for v5? As the site now hosts both v4 and v5, this ES2015 features page also has to take that into consideration. |

@phillipj Just add a second footnote "Only available in Node.js >= 5.x.x" |

This should not be merged until v5.0.0 is released
