As you know, version 5.0 is the development version currently available, but some changes are still made on the production version 4.1, and important fixes also go into 4.0. There is only one MySQL manual, and it covers all versions. Changes are (or at least: should be) labeled with the version(s) from which they become effective, and there are separate sections listing the changes by version. This single manual is the source for all formats and publishing forms, with the released packages as well as online. (Aside: I am quite happy there are not several manuals, being maintained in parallel, as this would introduce the risk of divergence, missing corrections etc.) > I would be nice however if maybe one level back was available if even if > that was as a compressed file. If by "level" you mean release families like 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0, this is not possible with the approach of "one manual for all". I understand your situation, that as a 4.0 user / admin you have to skip over all items that refer to newer versions only, but I cannot offer an easy solution. All I can propose is to take the manual that came with the version you downloaded and installed. It will at least not contain changes that were introduced later. The documentation team currently is changing the way the manual is maintained, but I do not know whether this will introduce features (like selective extraction) which would help you with your desires.
