 ignoreNull
 ~~~~~~~~~~
 
 **type**: ``Boolean`` **default**: ``true``
 
+.. versionadded:: 2.1
+    The ``ignoreNull`` option was added in Symfony 2.1.
+
 If this option is set to ``true``, then the constraint will allow multiple
 entities to have a ``null`` value for a field without failing validation.
 If set to ``false``, only one ``null`` value is allowed - if a second entity
 also has a ``null`` value, validation would fail.
