Is there a list of which features were added to specific releases (versions) of Bash?
Here are some links to official Bash documentation:
NEWS: a file tersely listing the notable changes between the current and previous versions
CHANGES: a "complete" bash change history (back to 2.0 only)
COMPAT: compatibility issues between bash3 and previous versions
