Differences between revisions 4 and 10 (spanning 6 versions)

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

A more extensive, partial list than the one below can be found at http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/bashchanges

Here's a partial list of the changes, in a more compact format:
