tarfile - Changelog versions change based on which doc version you are viewing

[helloSeen]

Documentation

I am trying to determine when the filter parameter was added to the TarFile.extractall() method. When viewing the 3.12 documentation it says the parameter was added in 3.12, however switching to 3.8 documentation it says the parameter was added in 3.8.17. It seems as though the documentation is set to say the parameter was added in the latest possible version.

This is, of course, not very helpful in determining when the change was actually implemented.

Proposed changes:
Review and update the change log comments in tarfile to accurately reflect when changes were added to Python.

The changelogs are correct; it was added in all the bugfix versions of 3.8 through 3.11, as well as in 3.12. See PEP-706.

And #102950 is the relevant issue with links to the 3.12 PR and each backport PR.
