Most pages include a one-liner of changes, however I agree that full-page versioning would be useful.
Back when I was doing PHP I loathed the docs for their vagueness and the overbearing wrongness of the comments (no, we're not going to tell you how to make these date handling fucntions work together, we're going to show something that involves subtracting or adding manually and leads to sadness.)
That said, I miss that they were SEO'd in the good sense. Most people are looking for the documentation are Googling it and every PHP function has its own page with the title the same as the function so you can generally count on the first result being the actual answer. This is opposed to Rails or Ruby in general, where you always get dumped into a blog post like "Basic Caching" because something in the middle of it kind of fits when you're looking for a very specific issue.

funny it makes me wonder how much of "php is easy to get started with" actually translates to "php is correctly indexed by google"
I installed this with one specific goal: I was really hoping it would give me quick access to the format letters for the date() function, however, it doesn't seem to display that part of the docs.
It does, hover, let me open the php.net page directly from the extension, so it might speed up access to that info. This is by far the page I view most on php.net.
Is there a way to assign a shortcut to open the extension?

You might find the fourth page of the code examples for the date function helpful. Shows several formatting examples.
This is so great! Thanks
In any case, this will probably be useful for those of us on 5.3, the version in the title just made me think and rant.
