I noticed something in the new documentation pages for functions. Before it used to say the version numbers when the function was created and last modified.

Now, it only gives the year.

Is this supposed to be better?  People go by version numbers. Here is an example: Compare the bottom of these 2 pages

I am truly baffled by this change. Why by purpose remove useful piece of information? version numbers?
Now one will have to go search and waste time in order find what version was released in 2007 in order to know the versions.

And what if a function changed in same year? Will the new documenation now say "Introduced in late spring of 2014 and updated in early winter 2014" ?? Would this really be better than saying "Introduced in version 10.0 and updated version 10.1".

If the year needs to be there, why not simply add it but keep version numbers, that is much more important than the year.

I hope this is not a permanent change to the documentation.
