The reason that I only put new features in the docs when a release is
made, is that then we are more or less sure that it works fine.
I believe I explained this more or less in one of the earlier mails...

Errors and other small inconsistencies can of course be fixed all the time.

Actually, I had more or less expected some mails now with lists of errors
in the docs, certainly after the (heated) discussions on the mailing list.
Except for Thomas Schatzl (for which my thanks), no-one reacted to report
bugs. If I were a naive dreamer, I could of course conclude that there are
no bugs in the docs :) :)

So once more, if people find errors, please take the time to drop me a line
and tell me about it.

Michael.
