> Add-on Testing: Allows add-on developers to test their add-ons before publishing them broadly.
> Time Zone Setting: Allows you to update the time zone of the script and its executions.
> Rhino Debugging: Adds the ability to debug Rhino subroutines on V8 debugger, without migrating to V8. If the code is not V8 compatible, users will get a warning message.
