When did the command become a full-upgrade

I just found this details on a Raspberry Pi link. When was the full-upgrade option introduced. I seem to recall the basic upgrade command did dependencies.

It has been close to six months since I played with a Pi. It might be even longer. Getting hardware is so difficult I tend to stay away from projects that use the single board computer. It does cause me some tears.

Maybe it has been there all along and I just never used it. That is hard to believe knowing the projects I have done in the past. Anyone have any insight into the command? I'm starting a fresh build and could use the input.

Probably good to refer to this:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/770135/apt-full-upgrade-versus-apt-get-dist-upgrade

Traditionally, I'm an:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get clean

kind of person when it comes to upgrading everything package-wise, even though it is a bit of a convoluted way of doing it. Having it as separate commands is more reliable and predictable especially if a dependency issue occurs.

Same, it usually helps me to catch any broken packages or dependencies that I can fix before it goes full-on self destruct mode and clearly shows at which stage it's got the problem.

I typically used the first two and the second to last command when I have encounter problems. I confess that having difficulty getting hardware has limited my exposure to command line interaction. It is true what you don't use you lose:(
