That's certainly a curiosity, but probably something along the lines  
of "they fixed the glitch".  I suspect stdint.h was getting included  
by some other system header inadvertently (or perhaps via necessity  
at the time) and after the update, no longer was causing compilation  
to reach our pstdint.h file.

The header files is where most of the developer documentation is  
migrating to, but that's a task that will remain work-in-progress for  
quite some time (and there's always room for better docs).  The  
intent is to focus on at least organizing the developer documentation  
we have for each of the core libraries so that a developer guide can  
be published.

That said, I still don't think it would have captured this particular  
instance, no documentation likely would have.  It's relatively fresh  
code that hadn't even been released to know there's an issue.   
Instead of documenting the issue, I'd rather focus on making it not  
an issue (like the logic reversal I mentioned).

The doxygen dev docs will definitely be replacing that particular  
manual page at some point in the future.

Cheers!
