Disagree, if there is only one manual it *must* be, for my understanding, be of the current *stable* version. I do not suspect the random user to be a alpha release user. But one question here: Is it such big problem to put all versions on and create some hyperlinks to them? Seems like this, cause i thought it might be good practice to do so. I also thought it would have been nice to put on a release schedual on the web site. I suggested this to the MySQL AB representant for Germany (as i am located there) but never ever heard from him again. So any comment is better than no comment. Btw: The commuication was initiated by this guy. > > I agree that the annotations could have been better.

So i say sorry to the community. That's the reason to put it on-list again. I think, I was driven by my bad expireance with the MySQL AB support of which I was a former paying customer.
