Agreed. Those who are interested in the historical notes are a smaller audience, and somewhat specialized. > Perhaps for some, but I would expect that docs cluttered with 'New/changed > in 3.0' to be just as confusing for others.

I think a little bit of JavaScript would go a long way. ;-) After looking at the code for the HTML generation, I don't think that would be difficult to do at all. I'm not sure how to deal with the printed version yet; perhaps the best thing for non-HTML versions is to simply drop the older version notes. Most people use the HTML version anyway. -Fred -- Fred L.
