Version 1.47.4
--------------
- New JavaScript feature: ES6 Promises. This release includes Lie [1], a small,
self-contained Promise implementation, which is imported automatically to
form the Promise global object [2]. In the future, Promises will be built into
the SpiderMonkey engine and Lie will be removed, but any code using Promises
will continue to work as before.
