In December the FTP master site died and some of the config was lost.
The config for synchronizing all the documentation broke then, but
nobody noticed so the docs haven't been updated since.

I just fixed it on the FTP master site so the updated docs should be
on the FTP mirror sites within 24 hours (depending on when the mirrors
sync).

Thanks for letting us know about the problem.
