--- Comment #18 from Jack <ostroffjh at users.sourceforge.net> ---
Documentation is updated when someone updates it.  There is no automatic
updating just because the program it documents gets updated.  There is no
regular schedule for updating documentation.  The issue is that the developers
who updated the code do not usually update the documentation, so that task
simply waits until someone willing to update the documentation does so.  A very
few application have dedicated folks who maintain their docs, but most depend
on a core crew of doc writers.  

A bug is not necessary to update documentation - an email to the doc team's
mailing list is likely to work as well.  The documentation files include the
version of the program for which the docs were last updated, and the date those
updates were done.  For the reasons above, these often do lag behind the
current version of the program.  That is not a bug, but an unfortunate reality.
