Yes, it will usually propagate to the next release. That was missed for 0.11.5, but there's a reminder ticket for 0.11.6 about that, so this time I won't forget ;-) > Or is it pointless to edit this documentation as the > documentation in the next release will come from another location?

Therefore, we have a [TracIni#Discussion] section, where edit suggestions can be made, or alternatively you can send us a patch on Trac-dev modifying the docstring in the code. > I searched for 20 minutes for an answer to this question.
