I am not aware of any formal documentation for dealing with changes in the 
procedures available to Script-Fu in GIMP between one version of the program 
and another.

I have a Perl script that can be used to update calls to GIMP procedures in 
Script-Fu scripts but I haven't updated it in a while. It can handle a lot 
of the changes but there was one major set of changes in GIMP procedures 
(between 2.4 and 2.6, IIRC) that were rather extensive and beyond what my 
script was designed to handle.

I will have to dig out the script and get it updated again some day. I've 
been working on a number of other projects so I haven't been doing anything 
related to the GIMP project in some time.
