    New things

    Another newcomer to the platform is io.js version 1.2.0. io.js is a fork of Node.js, built against the latest V8 versions including many ES6 features out-of-the-box.

    Trying the new platform

    You can evaluate the new platform right away by selecting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS v1502 (release candidate) from the Platform section of Project Settings. We encourage you to try it out, so that we can iron out any issues you may find along the way until the final release on next Tuesday.

    Changes in the final release

    Cassandra is now on version 2.1.3.

    Firefox’s update has been held back because version 35.0.1 has some compability issues with the latest selenium-webdriver gem version 2.44.0.

    Qt version 5.2.1 is now part of the platform. Qt versions are selectable by creating an environment variable named QT_SELECT in Project Settings and assigning it a value of 4 or 5 depending on which Qt version you would like to use. The default version is set to 4.8.1.

    A full list of changes is available in the platform changelog.
