Actually, it's just that the online docs reflect the latest documentation
from a particular branch of the source repository, since the docs are
continually improving and have no backwards compatibility constraints. This
does mean we sometimes have anomalies like this, though.

If you truly need the docs as they were at the time of release, they are
available, though I don't have a link handy on my phone.
