The online version is up to date. That is, the one on

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/docs-pdf/user.pdf

or

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/user.html

if you prefer HTML.

The community version ("with comments") should be simply deleted; 
it causes only confusion and more work without any benefit.

I have removed the links to them.

Michael.
