-Last update: 09 July 2006
+Patches should normally be submitted against the 'trunk' version of
+the manual, so they will be included in the next stable release.
+However there are some cases where it is appropriate to update the
+stable release also: such patches should be made against the branch
+for the relevant stable release codename: ^/branches/manual/<codename>.
