I don't know the exact situation in the newest documentation, but very recently there still were quite an amount of notes like "this feature works since version 1.38". While the current version number starts with 3, and 4 is obviously on the way, would it be time to drop the references to pre-3.x versions? When someone really is using an old version, there also is the old manual still available. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
