This manual is still work in progress. It is considered to be fairly complete and correct, yet as with all continually developing software products, documentation efforts usually cannot keep pace with the current implementation. Therefore some features of the software that are described in the manual may have changed or become obsolete, while others that are more recent may not be described at all. We do our best to keep the manuals up-to-date, but we are sure that we do not succeed all the time. Thus said, error reports and corrections are of course greatly appreciated.
