Functionality differences between 4.2 and 4.5

I noticed a number of differences in the 4.2 vs. 4.5 implementations. Specifcally Monitor2. How do I find out what is/isn't in the 4.2 version of the BigIP software?

Error codes?

Where can I find the definitions of the error codes that the API can return? I want to e.g. make sensible decisions when a call returns 'item not found' when I do a get_list call of some sort.
