		<item title="New ES6 capable JS Parser">
			<description>
				JSDT uses a new parser with EcmaScript 2015 (ES6) support. This allows JSDT to recognize and support ES6 language constructs and 
provide better validation accuracy compared to earlier parser.
				<br/>
				<br/>
As this is the initial drop of ES6 support, not all JSDT features are 
connected with the new parser in this milestone.

		<item title="Bower &amp; NPM">
			<description>
				JSDT is now supporting two package managers Bower and npm. There are wizards for creating bower.json / package.json and launch shortcuts for executing update and install commands.

				<br/>
				<br/>
				Both package managers fall back on native implementation, hence the following software must be pre-installed on the system:
				<ul>
				<li>Node.js</li>
				<li>Bower</li>
				<li>NPM</li>
				</ul>
