WinEventLog input xmlRegex modifier -- When did THIS become available?

I've been on the struggle bus with WinEventLog blacklist entries this week and stumbled upon the new xmlRegex modifier.    Anyone know which version of the Splunk Universal forwarder introduced this capability?

Note:  The Splunk docs surrounding advanced white/blacklisting of WinEventLog inputs have improved significantly!

I don't know when it first became available, but xmlRegex has been around since 7.0.
