is there a webpage out there that would tell us when specific member functions were introduced in particular ACF versions? I have been searching...
At the bottom of the table that lists them, there's a key that notes when things were added.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if the CFML docs were presented thoroughly and coherently like they were actually designed to useful. Instead of slapped together as an afterthought. As if, perhaps, the product they documented cost people thousand upon thousands of dollars, so like they might actually expect some semblance of professionalism and quality. Wouldn't that be fantastic^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^hthe baseline expectation.

Hi @Tim, thank you for this. I was looking at the versions and I do not think that they are correct within the adobe doc.
I tested
findnocase
member function on trycf.com and it works starting from version 11.

In general, member functions were introduced in CF 11. So if they have no marker, it means CF11. If they have
*
(like
* LSDateFormat
) then it means 2016. If they have a
#
(like
# Format
) then it means 2018. If they added any in CF2021, they're not on that page yet, it seems like.

I do know that cfdocs.org is best at this, but it didn't show the version regarding
findnocase
so maybe if they are created on CF11, then it's not shown.
ah got it, thanks, Tim!
i think the easiest and most forward way is showing the versions for all functions, because how long did it take me to figure this out? Lol I can't imagine the time spent collectively if others have done the same 🙂

and why on earth is this info not on the page with the function itself? (to Adam's point)
I have that page bookmarked so I can check quickly if a member function exists, if it does, what it's called (because that's not always predictable either), and whether I can actually use it or not....
