Alpha
1.0.14 Minecarts with furnaces were added.
Since no in-game name was indicated, they were referred to by names such as "powered minecart" or "furnace minecart".
No matter how much fuel was added to the minecart, it would never move for more than 3 minutes after the last fuel.
Beta
1.0 When tooltips were added to items in inventory, this was named "Minecart with Furnace".
Official release
1.0.0 Each piece of coal now powers a minecart with furnace for 3 minutes, so that adding another piece of coal at any time increases the total range by another 3 minutes. A full stack of 64 coal now powers it for 192 minutes.
Minecarts with furnaces on a level track will cover 204 meters per minute.
1.8 14w11a Minecarts with furnaces would give a much greater boost to other minecarts.
