That is because the online docs are always those of the latest
release, i.e. they are no more ecurrent than they have been by the end
of December 2006.

A few hours before, yes.  At that point in time we had already voted
on the binaries and the release may even have been inside the primary
download area waiting for mirrors to sync before the announcement goes
out.

In retrospect I agree the bug was reported too late for the 1.7.0
release.  We should probably have release 1.7.1 earlier, than we do,
though.
