Depends what you mean by "feature". The only change in the standards that
affected the cable was that later standards demanded higher bandwidth. For
example, 1080p hi-def progressive requires a high bitrate of 150 Mbits/s
that was too much for some early HDMI cables.


I think you must mean 150 Mpixels/s.

But even HDMI 1.0 supported up to 165 Mpixels/s, and specifically
includes 1080p/60Hz. So a cable compliant with any version of the
spec should be adequate for all current broadcast television, DVDs,
and BluRay (or however it's spelt). The only exception would be
these silly new 3D things.
