Setup 3 pages full of links for 3.6, 3.7 and 4.0 if you want.
But I would be more interested in entries being sorted by:

  0/ data structures in memory of the renderer (no syntax, no SDL !)
  1/ shapes (pure shape, no texturing: think sphere/plane... also
all isosurfaces & functions)
  2/ textures (plains, all possibles tunning: pigment, finish,
normal...)
  3/ patterns (when unrelated to the shape)
  4/ cameras
  5/ light sources
  6/ media & fog (every 3D density related...)
  7/ shapes & pattern together (such as UV mapping)
  8/ goodies for any objects (shapes with textures) (such as no_image)
  9/ syntaxical goodies (#macro, #declare... but also all builtin
functions)
  10/ miscellenous (global_settings, but also any other things such
as data access from object)
  11/ known patches & unofficial

Expect 1 page per specific object, with flag/logo about availability
in which versions.
(Yes, that means strlen() might end up with its own page! linked to
both the string page (taken as argument) and the integer page
(result). String/Float/Vector3D/Vector2D/Vector4D/Vector5D/integer
pages in the section 9)
