But the information that you're looking for is actually available in the public documentation (which, currently, is for R2016b).

For instance, if you look at the page for isequalwithequalnans [2], which unfortunately has been removed from Octave 4.2.0, you can see that has been introduced before R2006a (aka Matlab 7.2, [3]) and that it is still available, albeit not recommended, in R2016b

Yes, I have noticed that in the corner of matlab pages. But there's not a nice compiled function reference list. It would require spidering all the function docs and parsing those dates. Is that how "missing functions" package worked? Out years might be easier once a baseline was established. Release notes could be enough if they provided a parsable "new functions" list.
