New Feature Highlights:
- new <meta> element in YQL response envelope returns information “about” the result list
- social.updates.search table – access the social updates firehose
- changes to environment feature and capabilities
- new “env” statement. You can now load envs using the “env” statement as part of the regular YQL syntax.

- “sets” on one environment do NOT apply to any other, unless the environment is nested
New core tables
- social.updates.search
- yql.table.desc, yql.table.list and yql.tables tables (reflect on the available YQL tables)
Other features

<execute> changes
- added response.meta to enable <meta> element to be set on the response object
- added forceCharset(String charset) to request/y.rest(..) as a way of overriding the return contentType charset.
