Most of the entries do show the initial release date in the dictionary but the 
problem is that we often can't recall what term to look up. A searchable 
database of all release notes would solve that, since we could enter a more 
generic string to search on. 

I also find that the release notes, at least earlier ones, contain more 
extensive explanations of new syntax and changes than the short synopsis 
provided in the dictionary. That's very helpful.
