New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - June 21 to 27, 2015

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  

As of 27 June 2015, there were 2,015 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 from last week):

*  Brazil, São Paulo, Immigration Cards, 1902-1980; 2,658,219 indexed records, with record images, added or updated 22 Jun 2015

Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell which collections are brand new and which ones are updated.  The asterisk they use is for "Recently added or updated."  I am particularly interested in new collections, for the obvious reasons.

In order to select a specific collection, go to 
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
