PHP manual for specific version?

I'm new to PHP and my first project is hosted on a GoDaddy economy Windows account. The PHP version is 5.2.17.
I have already seen interesting things added in later PHP versions and would like to view the PHP manual most specific
to the PHP 5.2.17 I'm using.

What are your thoughts and advice?

Thanks

The Migrating pages in the PHP Manual will be my friend.

Migrating from PHP 5.2.x to PHP 5.3.x

The manual pages have at least three places where they mention versions:
1. For extensions, in the Introduction or Installing pages.
2. For functions, at the top of the page below the name.
3. In a Notes or Changelog section.
