I don't know that information offhand, and a quick search through the 
release notes for MATLAB didn't find it -- you should send this question to 
Technical Support.

I believe the release notes for each product include the notes back a 
certain number of releases or versions; for example, the MATLAB release 
notes:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/rn/rn_intro.html

go back to version 7.0 (release R14) and if you need earlier release notes, 
you can go back to version 6.0 (release R12) using the link to the release 
R13 with Service Pack 2 documentation at the bottom of the main 
documentation page:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/helpdesk.html

Now that I think about it, depending on which function you're using, that 
functionality may have started in Image Processing Toolbox and migrated into 
MATLAB at some point.  You might want to check the Release Notes for that 
toolbox.

As for your additional plea -- you're not the first person to ask for this 
type of information.  I know there are some members of our development and 
documentation staff thinking about compatibility considerations, including 
how to make compatibility information available.  There was a thread about 
compatibility about a week ago -- if you have other suggestions for better 
ways for us to handle those types of consideration, that thread would be a 
good place to raise them to the attention of people like Scott Hirsch.
