The "Since" kind of thing would be great - most of the API documentation has something similar, an "introduced in" comment, which is very helpful.

I do find the search works, I'm just lazy!

True enough. That is organized by release. I usually want to start from
the feature and find out which release it came out in. The current docs
make me search through all the sections, unless I get quite lucky with
my search string!!

This applies to any of the languages and to SQL - what release did %DEC
with the ability to convert from a character string first appear in? is
my question.


Vern, I see what you mean. It would be nice to have a "Since" entry at the main documentation for each new syntax (opcode, keyword, built-in). And even for each new capability like %DEC(character), although it wouldn't necessarily be obvious where the "since" entry would go for some enhancements to existing syntax.

The HTML version that I linked to isn't very handy for your purpose since each release is on a separate page, but you can fairly easily search for a particular feature in the entire what's new section of the PDF version.
