Some arguments seem to not exist in previous versions. I did not
investigate more as it seems quite sensible for a program to get more
functionalities.

With a recent version:

Usage: global [-adGilnqrstTvx][-e] pattern
       global -c[diIoOPrsT] prefix
       global -f[adlnqrstvx][-L file-list] files
       global -g[aGilnoOqtvVx][-L file-list][-e] pattern [files]
       global -I[ailnqtvx][-e] pattern
       global -P[aGilnoOqtvVx][-e] pattern
       global -p[qrv]
       global -u[qv]

With the version currently in Debian:

Usage: global [-aGilnqrstTvx][-e] pattern
       global -c[qrsv] prefix
       global -f[anqrstvx] files
       global -g[aGilnoOqtvx][-e] pattern
       global -I[ailnqtvx][-e] pattern
       global -P[aGilnoOqtvx][-e] pattern
       global -p[qrv]
       global -u[qv]
