I notice there's no new version of the MAX4.6 JavascriptInMax.pdf reference detailing classes etc installed with MAX5. Are there any significant changes or other updates to the Javascript engine and/or classes, or is it okay to rely on the old MAX4.6 documentation?

You can still rely on the one in 4.6. Although it will reappear in the  
next incremental.

Just FYI, if no one else has mentioned it yet, is that the Max5 docs, Javascript Tutorial Chapter 1, lists Max as still having a 1.5 interpreter. I figure maybe it's old and out of date, but this thread is the first I've heard that Max5 uses 1.6
