We don't normally mention what release added a features. However, I do
see your problem with finding that procedures can issue transaction
control statements. I see this for procedures:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/xproc.html
but that has no mention of transactions, just a mention of using CALL,
then this pl/pgSQL section about transaction control mentions CALL:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/plpgsql-transactions.html
Is this what you think needs improving?
