<wsor4035> just my two bent pennies, feel free to ignore this/tell me to pound sand, but would like to see more "version" notes in docs. what this means is just annotating $thing with $thing since version $y or something, rather than just putting $x |

<josiah_wi> That's a very good idea. |

MTDiscord |
<josiah_wi> Except figuring out which version something was added in is work. |

<wsor4035> in case my two bent pennies didnt come accross right, see https://dev.luanti.org/database-backends/#backend-comparison-table where mod storage has version numbers |

MTDiscord |
<wsor4035> perhaps, but take for example https://github.com/minetest/dev.luanti.org/issues/126, its something new in 5.11, if be written now, then you already know. not much extra work |
| 01:10 |

<josiah_wi> Especially since the accurate way to annotate it would be "$thing since version x with bug, since version y with other bug, fixed since version z, with first bug again since undetermined version." |

<wsor4035> meh, thats kinda over complicating it. more so just bare minimum of when stuff shows up. for example with the db stuff, it prevents idiot me working on some cursed old version (say 5.1) from trying to migrate to postgresql and then complaining it doesnt work. possibly also going and wasting other peoples time asking why |

<wsor4035> . |

<josiah_wi> cppreference is a great example of that. Each feature or API change is labelled with the version of the standard where it was introduced. |

<wsor4035> also mdn caniuse section at the bottom |

<mark.wiemer> @wsor this sounds like something that should be tracked in an issue 😉 |

MTDiscord |
<wsor4035> Meh, potential guidelines maybe |

<luatic> I don't think this should be a requirement, just a suggestion. |
