Personnally,
I would rather go for "Modification history" in the "current" documentation
something like


INSTALL: Specify rules to run at install time.

[... usual help ...]

History:
New Since 2.4.0 New INSTALL macro
New Since 2.4.4 Added the INSTALL(DIRECTORY ...) support

in the same way;

INSTALL_PROGRAMS:

[... usual help ...]

History:
Deprecated Since 2.4.0 use INSTALL

Using this kind of scheme you may handle
compatibility issue only by examing up to date doc.

In order to keep history relatively small one
may only keep "compatibility" modification notice
and or purge history of more than a year version.
