But how much of a problem is that? I've used 1996 or so manual for
years without trouble. Many stuff is optimized or improved throughout
the years, but it's only this year that we've seen a real breaking
change (the new font mechanism). In all cases you could take any
manual you wish.

For newer features there are quite clear up-to-date manuals. You have
to study them of course. Add to that that TeX isn't easy.

ConTeXt might have many problems (don't know which :-) ) but the
documentation can't be one of them.

Finding them could perhaps be made easier, why not just have a
documentation button on the main screen which just lists *all*
documentation, manuals, up-to-dates, beta's, whatever?
