From The Archives: JIS2004 CMap Resource History
[For those who are interested in reading my own release notes for the Adobe-Japan1-6 UTF-32 CMap resource history, which includes the non-JIS2004 ones, I made them available here on January 20, 2016.]
I was recently asked, indirectly via Twitter, about changes and additions that were made to our JIS2004-savvy CMap resources, specifically UniJIS2004-UTF32-H and UniJISX02132004-UTF32-H. The former also includes UTF-8 (UniJIS2004-UTF8-H) and UTF-16 (UniJIS2004-UTF16-H) versions that are kept in sync with the master UTF-32 version by being automagically generated by the CMap resource compiler (and decompiler), cmap-tool.pl, which I developed years ago.
Of course, all of these CMap resources also have vertical versions that use a "V" at the end of their names in lieu of the "H," but in the context of OpenType font development, the vertical CMap resources are virtually unused and worthless because it is considered much better practice to explicitly define a 'AFDKO makeotf tool will synthesize a 'vert' GSUB feature by using the corresponding vertical CMap resources.
With all that being said, what follows in this article is a complete history of these two CMap resources, which also assign dates, and sometimes notes, to each version.
The initial versions of UniJIS2004-UTF32-H and UniJISX02132004-UTF32-H, CMapVersion=1.000, were released on 2007-01-19 and 2007-02-21, respectively.
UniJIS2004-UTF32-H CMapVersion=1.001 Changes (5)

NOTES: The initial version of UniJISX02132004-UTF32-H incorporates these changes.

That is all.
Some readers of this article may notice that CMapVersions 1.005 and 1.006 of UniJIS2004-UTF32-H and CMapVersions 1.004 and 1.005 of UniJISX02132004-UTF32-H are missing from the listings below. These versions included only tweaks to the CMap resource headers, and no functional changes were made. The earlier of the two versions, which are dated 2009-03-10, simply removed the following lines from the CMap resource header that were deemed to be inappropriate:

The later versions, which are dated 2009-08-11, changed the CMap resource header altogether, and replaced it with the following open source CMap header that is used in all subsequent versions:
