+
+We are excited to announce the release of Scala.js 0.5.1!
+
+This version features bug fixes and improvements while remaining binary compatible with Scala.js 0.5.0. Therefore, Scala.js libraries may, but need not be republished with Scala.js 0.5.1.
+
+Please report any issues [on GitHub](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues).
+
+## Improvements in the 0.5.1 release
+
+For changes introduced in 0.5.0, how to upgrade, getting started etc. have a look at the [0.5.0 announcement](./2014-06-13-announcing-scalajs-0.5.0.html).
+
+#### Additions to the Java library
+
+The following two are now implemented according to spec:
+
+- `java.util.Date`
+- `java.util.Random`
+
+#### Wrappers for JavaScript Arrays and Dictionaries
+
+Thanks to `js.WrappedArray` and `js.WrappedDictionary` (and some implicit conversions), `js.Array` and `js.Dictionary` can now be passed to Scala code that expects `mutable.Seq` and `mutable.Map` respectively:
+
+{% highlight scala %}
+def setHead(x: mutable.Seq[Int]): Unit = x(0) = 42
+val array = js.Array(1, 2, 3)
+setHead(array)
+println(array) // -> 42,2,3
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Further, this allows to call methods defined on `Map` on `js.Dictionary` (`foreach`, `map`, `filter`, etc.)
+
+#### Filter `jsDependencies` when executing JavaScript code
+
+The new sbt setting `jsDependencyFilter` can be used to modify the dependencies used when running/testing:
+
+ jsDependencyFilter := (_.filter(_.resourceName != "jquery.js"))
+
+The above would prevent "jquery.js" from being included by the sbt runners. See [FlatJSDependency]({{ BASE_PATH }}/api/scalajs-tools/0.5.1/#scala.scalajs.tools.jsdep.FlatJSDependency) for fields that you can use.
+
+#### Ordered testing output
+
+When testing in the `fastOptStage` or the `fullOptStage`, test output sometimes appeared interleaved. This has been fixed this release.

 Adding the Scala.js sbt plugin is a one-liner in `project/plugins.sbt` (all file names we write in this tutorial are relative to the project root):
 
- addSbtPlugin("org.scala-lang.modules.scalajs" % "scalajs-sbt-plugin" % "0.5.0")
