Is there a master list of all AutoCAD commands that includes their introduction version?

I'm looking for a definitive, complete master list of all AutoCAD commands that includes the version that they were introduced in.

 

Does such a list exist?

 

The need for such a list comes up frequently.

 

Just today, for example, I learned about the MTEXTAUTOSTACK command, only to find that it does not exist in the seat of AutoCAD 2014 that I sometimes uses.

 

Thanks for any replies.

It's a system variable not a command and it was added to the 2015 version: https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-B8FD8188-880B-4F95-BF74-D3D67B6F46D2

If you find something in help online for a newer version just change the year to an older year to see if it's in that version.

Unfortunately, no on-line helps is accessible older than 2015 from Autodesk.

The link to the thread I provided in my previous post still seems to be the best bet which goes back as far as R12 for both commands & variables.

Too bad - Shaan Hurley's list ends when he was fired...

I use that site as reference too. But too bad there’s no search method that looks through each release link for say the command Xref as to when that came out. But overall this is really nicely done.
