Most of the entries do show the initial release date in the dictionary

Also, bug fixes don't necessarily fall into that category and probably
won't show up in the dictionary.
Anything that changes the behaviour of the syntax definitely should be
noted in the dictionary.
If it doesn't change the behaviour but just, for example, improves
performance or fixes a crash in a pathological case, then it generally
shouldn't be noted in the dictionary.
The core dev team tries very hard to *not* change behaviour of existing
script syntax where it can be avoided -- because it's important not to
break stacks that currently work (c.f. discussion about "save" vs
"stackFileVersion").
I would like the dictionary to have a way to search its entries by "last
changed in", "introduced in", and "deprecated in", but it currently
looks like we won't have time to introduce that in 8.0.0.
