Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy.  It's hard to keep it all
synchronized, and even harder to know how well things work in
environments one doesn't use.  

The FAQ applies to more than one version; the UG is specific for the
particular release it describes.

Yes, 0.82.

We're approaching 1.0 asymptotically: 

	$ echo 0.$((82 + (100 - 82)/2))
	0.91
	$ echo 0.$((91 + (100 - 91)/2))
	0.95

That version has been branched in CVS.  There's only some minor release
gadgetry prevent the first release candidate from seeing the light of
day.  Should happen very soon.
