I fixed that some days ago: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass71/manuals/ -> GRASS GIS 7.1.svn Reference Manual subsequently we have: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/ -> GRASS GIS 7.0.0svn Reference Manual http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/ -> GRASS GIS 6.4.4svn Reference Manual I understand Yann's suggestion but it is nicer to tell a user "yes, I uploaded your improvement and starting next Saturday you can see it online". So I generate the "stable" manuals from the release branches. > Also all general links to GRASS documentation leads to > grass64/manuals Do you have some examples for that?

Many "normal" users will not know what "master", "trunk" "nightly something" would mean at all.
