As expressed in the Stata-Announcement - I would like to get an option to browse a frame automatically when changed to it.

cwf frame, browse

that would display the frame in the Data Editor. And this should not stop do-files.

Bit of a long shot, but I'd like help files to include a version history section showing the date and version of Stata in which the command was introduced, along with details of any major updates to it

My hunch on this is that since Stata has never done this, it has been a deliberate company choice to refrain from doing so for at least two important reasons. First, the focus of the manuals is to be exceptionally readable, and a revision history gets in the way of this. Second, when there are major changes made to commands, there is a brief description in the "whatsnew" log which is the proper location for something akin to a change log. Lastly, significant feature changes can be compared between major versions by reading to major release manuals. Not to mention that some major changes, like if a command was rewritten under the hood, may not be documented if its user interface never changes. Would that be worth documenting in your opinion?
