Since JavaScript's release cycle is very unusual and inconsistent, I'm going to use the Firefox implementation. Please let me know if this is not allowed.

Versions: Pheonix 0.1, Firebird 0.6, Firefox 1.0.0, 1.5.0, 2.0.0, 3.0 Beta 1, 3.0.0, 3.5.0, 3.6.0, 4.0.0, 10.0.0, 18.0.0, 27.0.0, 35.0.0, 44.0.0 (all tested on Windows 7)

Important note: Installing and opening Firefox 1.0.0 or any later version may erase all of your saved Firefox data, including history and bookmarks.

Also, starting with 1.0.0, you can only have one version open at a time; trying to open another version results in a new window of the already-open version.

Instructions

Option 1: Save the code below to your computer as an HTML document and open it in each browser.
Option 2: Open https://ethproductions.github.io/js-year-test.html in each browser.

Code

<script onbeforeunload="123"> // This uses document.write because alert does nothing in Pheonix (Firefox) 0.1. document.write((function () { function assert (code) { try { eval(code); return true; } catch (e) { return false; } } // Firefox 44 supports octal and binary literals in Number(); Firefox 35 does not. if (Number("0o1") === 1) return 2016; // Firefox 35 supports template strings; Firefox 27 does not. if (assert("`abc`")) return 2015; // Firefox 27 supports argument spreading; Firefox 18 does not. if (assert("Math.max(...[1, 2, 3])")) return 2014; // Firefox 18 supports default arguments; Firefox 10 does not. if (assert("function q(a = 1) { }")) return 2013; // Firefox 10 has basic WeakMap support; Firefox 4 does not. if (assert("WeakMap.a")) return 2012; // Firefox 4 has basic typed array support; Firefox 3.6 does not. if (assert("Int8Array.a")) return 2011; // Firefox 3.6 added the async attribute to script elements. if (assert("document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].async.a")) return 2010; // Firefox 3.5 added the String.prototype.trim() method. if (assert("'abc'.trim()")) return 2009; // Firefox 3.0 added partial support for object destructuring. if (assert("var {c} = {c: 7}")) return 2008; // Firefox 3.0 beta 1 added the Array.prototype.reduce() and Array.prototype.reduceRight() methods. if (assert("[].reduce.a")) return 2007; // Firefox 2.0 added support for restricted words as properties. if (assert("({if:1}).if")) return 2006; // Firefox 1.5 added the Array.prototype.indexOf() methods, along with a couple other Array methods. if (assert("[1].indexOf(1)")) return 2005; // Practically the only JS difference between v0.6 and v1.0 is the addition of the onbeforeunload event. if (assert("document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].onbeforeunload.a")) return 2004; // The Object.prototype.eval() method was removed in Firebird 0.6. if (!assert("'abc'.eval()")) return 2003; // We're all the way back to the good old Pheonix 0.1 browser... return 2002; })()); </script>
