What is the ECMAScript version supported in Cloudant (or CouchDB) design documents?

The title contains the full question actually.

In CouchDB (and Cloudant in particular) you write design documents with views using JavaScript. What is the supported ECMAScript version there?

I could not find a relevant documentation.

I believe that Mozilla Spider Monkey is used for executing the design documents.

The build documentation for CouchDB 2.0 state Mozilla Spider Monkey 1.8.5 as a dependency.

You can find the release notes for 1.8.5 contain the following:

SpiderMonkey 1.8.5 is the JavaScript engine that shipped in Firefox 4.0. It is much faster than SpiderMonkey 1.8, implements ES-5 (ECMA 262, 5th Edition), and contains many new language and API features, described in detail below.

You could maybe post a separate question with the [spidermonkey] tag to see if there is a javascript api method you can call to retrieve the spider monkey version via javascript.
