It's in the Readme.txt file, which is in this folder: c:\Program Files\Picc
Of course, if you don't have the latest version of the compiler installed
you don't get the readme file, and so you can't see the new features
that might make you want to upgrade. CCS ought to have more
detailed info on their versions page, but based on experience, that
is not likely to change. So here is the info from the Readme file:
(Note that this only affects chips with an Enhanced UART).

SETUP_UART now accepts the following new options for chips with the EUART H/W:

UART_AUTODETECT -
Waits for a 0x55 character and sets the UART baud rate to match.

UART_AUTODETECT_NOWAIT -
As above however the function returns before 0x55 is rcvd. KBHIT() will
be true when the match is made. A call to GETC() will clear the
character.

UART_WAKEUP_ON_RDA -
The UART will wake the PIC up out of sleep when RCV goes from high to low.
