I have a suggestion which could make the PHP documentation even easier to use for the experienced PHP programmer.

As can easily observed, you guys keep up the documentation very quickly to the new versions. One thing I miss though is a way of quickly finding out where the *documentation* has changed from one PHP release to the next. Maybe you could have a "New in x.y.z" and/or "Changed in x.y.z" section. I guess that there would be a way of rather easily auto-creating those indexes from the present documentation.

I'll give two examples to illustrate. From browsing the manual I found out today that one is not encouraged to use "mysql_db_query" from 4.0.6. Another example is the function "mysql_unbuffered_query", which I found out about somewhere at zend.com.

By quickly having an overview over new and changed information, PHP programmers could more easily adopt their scripts to new versions.
