### New and noteworthy
#### Javascript: Rhino updated to latest version 1.7.14
[Rhino](https://github.com/mozilla/rhino), the implementation of JavaScript we use
for parsing JavaScript code, has been updated to the latest version 1.7.14.
Now language features like template strings can be parsed. However Rhino does
not support all features of the latest EcmaScript standard.
#### Modified rules
* The Apex rule {% rule "apex/documentation/ApexDoc" %} has a new property `reportProperty`.
If set to `false` (default is `true` if unspecified) doesn't report missing ApexDoc comments on properties.
It allows you to enforce ApexDoc comments for classes and methods without requiring them for properties.
