CUCM feature comparison list between versions

Has anyone stumbled across a Communications Manager feature comparison list between versions on CCO?

My current requirement is to compare available features in release 4.3 against 3.2.

There have been new features added in each release between CCM 3.2 and CCM 4.3 I have tried to pick out the releases that had the biggest changes since CCM 3.2. These would be CCM 3.3(4), CCM 4.1(3) and CCM 4.2(1)Have a look;

CCM 3.3.4 New and changed Information

Forced Authorization Codes and Client Matter Codes

Cisco WebDialer

Cisco IP Telephony Backup and Restore System (BARS)
