ECMA-262 7ᵗʰ Edition / June 2016 => ECMAScript® 2016 Language Specification

Edit:
When the "Standard ECMA-262 6th Edition" was being drafted it was referred to as ES6.

However before it was finalized the committee decided to go with the ES2015 moniker to reflect the fact that they intended to publish yearly updates to the specification - which they have done so far.

Publications before June 2015 can be excused for using the ES6 moniker, past that ES2015 should have been used.

It's been 5 years - it's time to let go of the edition based moniker unless one is referring to ES5.1 and below.
