Well, we could always try to find a more "time-neutral" form of words -- my best suggestion, off the top of my head, would be something like: "New parameter: the optional step parameter is available starting with PHP 5.0.0" (or "as from 5.0.0") Actually, shouldn't this be a Note, and without the "New parameter" bit? -- then it won't need revising in a couple of years when 5.1.x is out and it's no longer new!
