I couldn't find it -- the User's Guide seems not to have been updated since 3rd August.

If I ruled the world, any patch that changed user-visible behaviour would be required to include the corresponding update to the User's Guide. People can't use a feature if it's not advertised; they can't test whether it's working without a precise description of what it's supposed to do. Also, I often find that trying to define the external interface helps with the design itself.

In particular I've been very sloppy on this. I'm trying to improve that at the moment. /me grumbles quietly about docbook Duncan
