Hi Michael

Great, thanks for the initiative!

Unfortunately, most of the function pages don't specify the version they 
were introduced. They should all do so, as on 
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/st-within/ and 
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/st_boundary/ for example. The ones 
that don't mention the version are the older articles, so for early 
versions of MariaDB.

I'll look at adding this version information to the pages in the next 
few days, and then you can base your table on that.
