--- Comment #4 from Phil Pennock <pdp@???> ---
The documentation is already far too large for sanity without annotating every
entry with the version in which it was introduced.
There's a textfile with a list of options in Exim, which includes a notation of
the version in which they were introduced. For any given release, the
documentation includes change-bars of significant documentation changes since
the cited "previous" version (usually these days the previous release).
Going through and adding first-version information would be a large amount of
error-prone work, for which nobody here is being paid. If someone is willing
to do the work themselves and make it easy to maintain, I suggest a sample
showing how it can be added without being obnoxious, and how it can be updated
easily, so that you know if we might say "we'd merge that" before doing a bunch
of work yourself.
Otherwise, we keep the references limited to major changes (which a new feature
usually is not) and provide version-specific documentation for a reason.
I'm with Jeremy and Andreas here. I'm re-closing this issue. Please do not
re-open unless you're providing proof-of-concept patches and offering to do the
work instead of demanding hundreds of hours of unpaid work from others.
