>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1456460. --> Reported by: [tsvenson](https://www.drupal.org/user/364106) >>> <p>As explained by @webchick in <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/210973#comment-700123">http://groups.drupal.org/node/210973#comment-700123</a> since Drupal 7.0 and much thanks to the testing framework, it is now much easier to add new features on point releases.</p> <p>A big problem is that this also makes it hard to keep track about with point release a new, or modified, feature got included in. <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!field!field.api.php/function/hook_field_widget_form_alter/7">The hook_field_widget_form_alter</a> for example was introduced in 7.8 and thus modules using it should have a core dependency of 7.8, not 7.x.</p> <p>But, unless someone makes a comment with that info on api.drupal.org (that could be buried deep down in the comments) there is a slim chance to learn when it was introduced. Also, developers will have to specifically go to api.drupal.org to be able to read that comment. No IDE will give any hints about this.</p> <p>Since new features clearly is something that will be more frequently introduced in point releases, this is something I believe is a very needed improvement.</p>
