I think you understood exactly what I mean, but I was hoping there's a 
way to look back in time. If something was done in master two months or 
six months ago, there's no easy way to see which release came next? So 
far I've just been comparing dates but hoped git would make it easier.

To explain a bit, this is for the wiki; when I have time (which might be 
a week or three later), I read through the commit log and edit the wiki 
page to match changes like depreciating DefaultCharset or adding the new 
string formatting. The only problem is figuring out what version to say 
with "this was depreciated in ____".

It's no big problem, I was just hoping to make things a bit easier.

Thanks!
