Initial release version for functions

[callistosp]

As a user I am interested in using a new function that I saw on the MeRGE page. However, I am not sure if the package version that I have installed locally has this function. It would be helpful to include in the function documentation the earliest package version that included this function. This could be as simple a line toward the bottom of the documentation that states "Function available in package versions 1.4.0 or later".

For example, I wanted to try the test_threads function, but I didn't see it locally because I had version 1.3.1 installed. By searching through the changelog I could see that this function was added in version 1.4.0, but it would be helpful if this information was included on the documentation page.

@callistosp -

If you wanted to know if your version has test_threads() can you run

?test_threads

and see if the help topic comes up? If it does, you're in business and you know it came in a <= than your current version. If not, then you know that test_threads() came in a later version. And since the help topic doesn't come up, you wouldn't be able to tell from help that the function came at a later version.
