What is the current status of Rhino? Is it still being
developed,updated, etc? What does the future hold for Rhino? I was
looking at the latest release of Rhino and it seems to still only
support Javascript 1.7. Will it support Javascript 1.8 in the near
future? What about Ecmascript 5th Edition?

Thanks,
Travis

We're working on Ecmascript 5th Edition (ES5) support now. It's mostly
implemented, with the notable exception of strict mode. For more
information, check out the tracking bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489326

Most of 1.8 is supported as well, although we don't have generator
expressions.

I plan to release a new Rhino that supports ES5 at least this quarter.

Norris,

Thanks for the update. Are these latest features available in the CVS
repository?

Thanks,
Travis
