RE: Significant change in Version 8 of informatica
I have worked with Informatica 7.1 but haven't used versioning.
Informatica 8 is surely bundled with versioning system

Also adding headers in a text target file is also possible in Info-8 without specifying the same while installation (which is wat you do for informatica 7)
