Perhaps a nice objective tag, rather than README text.

If a feature is new, add a start_date tag.

The editor can then have options..

1, Alert the user if the start date  is more recent than the layers
currently displayed.
2. Visually indicate if the start_date is within a configurable recency
(say, draw a halo around objects constructed in the past two years, or so).

There is also some scope for automated analysis, rather than depend on free
text.

Ian.
