I much rather see time spent on getting the docs complete for the current version, though. Compared to that I think version info in the manual is of little value.
I beg to differ.
Perhaps this is brought up because there are no good manuals for older versions? I.e. people rather look in the latest manual because most things actually are documented there and then sees this problem when they find that the stuff mentioned in the docs doesn't exist in their version? Then the problem is the lack of good old manuals, and, well, the interest for writing complete manuals for 0.6, 7.0 and 7.2 is probably not overwhelming.. :\
Indeed, and you are right about the reason. Precisely for that cause, the API introduction version should be listed in the docs.
