Where can I see all the differences between JRE versions?

Internet is full of blogs explaining the most important new features of Java 8 but reading the javadoc you find lots of new features on every corner (default methods on most interfaces).

You may be surprised by finding new features in Java 7, 6 or even 5 from time to time. Small precious stones hidden from plain sight.

Is there a web site with that provides a full comparison between JRE versions?

EDIT: I insist I want to see all the differences.

Here is an example: ThreadLocal class is there since Java 1.2 but in Java 1.5 remove method was added to.

This blog post lists some of the API changes in JDK 7. It was prepared by a Groovy script that searches for Since values in online JavaDocs. You can reuse this script to find changes in other major releases too.
