Can someone remind me where I see what was introduced in what version in
MySQL?

I can never remember where to find it!

Do you mean this one:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqld-vers...y-changes.html

If there is an easier view with all versions combined, I'd like to know
it too .

I thought there was somewhere where it said (easily) that a particular item
was added at version x.y.z

I look in the manual. If a thing is newish, it'll say something like
"(Use --set-character-set before MySQL 4.1.1.)" or "Before MySQL 4.1.3,
the server operates only in the system time zone set at startup.
Beginning with MySQL 4.1.3, the server maintains several time zone
settings, some of which can be modified at runtime:"

Manuals are really good like that.

Yeah, that was where I expected to find it. Someone commented that SPs were
only introduced in v5, so I looked in the v5 manual on creating SPs but it
didn't seem to say aything about version there.

You'll find that the manual for 3.23/4.0/4.1 doesn't HAVE a Chapter 19,
which is where Stored Procedures and Functions are described. That's a
pretty big hint.

True, but my question was more general. I was sure that I'd seen this text
somewhere saying that this or that was introduced in x.y.z

Since I couldn't see it for SP, I wondered where I had seen it.

I agree, Paul, this would be something good to have, especially since
they've the folks at MySQL AB have been doing such a good job improving
it. Right now you have to look through the manuals at each release to
see what's been added.

The "Upgrading MySQL" chapters in the manual list all the known
incompatibilities. I.e.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/upgrade.html

Also most feature documentation mentions which version of MySQL
introduced this feature.

I was thinking more along the line of XXX() introduced in 5.0.22, that sort
of thing
