When I run the version() command in rhino it prints 170, how do I find documentation for that version of Javascript? I'm not sure if the 170 means ecma 170, javascript 1.7, etc.

1Look for the ECMAScript specification. JavaScript 1.7 is just some numbering FF uses, but all environments today implement ES5, Rhino too probably. – elclanrs May 17 '15 at 01:54

stole this from How do JavaScript versions correlate to ECMAScript versions?
There aren't really strict correspondences between the version numbers Mozilla uses and the ECMAScript standard's version numbers. There's a table on Wikipedia that might be what you're looking for -- you'll see that JavaScript 1.6 corresponds to ECMAScript 3 and then some additional extensions. [].map specifically was standardized in ECMAScript 5, but to my understanding, the feature was first introduced by Firefox before the ECMAScript 5 standard was even published. (Firefox 1.5 which included JavaScript 1.6 was released on November 29, 2005, and the standard appears to have been published in September 2009.)
