Which version of InDesign began supporting scripting with Javascript?

I believe Illustrator 10 (2001) began supporting scripting and I am sure Illustrator CS (2003) supported scripting. Those correspond to InDesign 1.5 and InDesign CS.  Does anyone know which version of InDesign began supporting scripting with Javascript?  Thanks in advance.

Sorry I couldn't find that. Indesign had scripting capabilities from version 1.0—AppleScript and VB Script—but not ExtendScript until later. It would be cool to see a comprehensive history of development on these apps—even just a collection of release notes of every version.

I'm pretty sure Extendscript was supported as of CS2, but could be wrong.

Version 1.0 had AppleScript Visual Basic. Javascript was added in version 3.0 (InDesign CS 2003)
