For plugin developers worrying about compatibility through WordPress versions, it is sometimes important to know when a particular function was implemented (or dropped, even). I did come across this question a few times lately regarding my own plugins, and unfortunately there is no easy way to obtain this information. I mean, till now of course :)
I'm pleased to introduce the first WordPress Functions Implementation History tool. In a trendy axajified manner, it will let you search across nearly 1900 functions through 31 WordPress releases, from 0.71 to 2.3
For the curious and those who would like a static list for their documenting needs, I'm also releasing a map of WordPress functions through all these WP versions. It comes in either a compact list (3 columns: function name, introduced in, dropped in), or the complete map (beware, 1900 lines x 30 columns = more than 5 MB table, your browser might not like it)
Light version (320 KB) :
Mad version (5.5 MB) :
More or less noteworthy notes :
- The regexp pattern used was the following, matching functions declared "standalone" or within classes:
CODE:
-
grep -r -e '^\s*function ' *> functions.list
-
- Functions from wp-content/ were excluded (i.e. the bundled themes and plugins)
- Javascript functions were excluded, some of them manually. There might be some survivors though :)
