I agree TOTALLY : A7 is growing each time with each BETA, Conitec or some volounter should do a little lines example of code 'why not one or two pictures) for each new command. The manual can't follow simultaneously. I don't know perhaps in paralell with BETA section a MANUAL called BETA MANUAL should be done  ??? I think all new users perhaps will only see the surface of 3DGS and will miss last beta features wihtout them in a manual. a beta feature can take some months , but putting some documentation for it can take one hour maximum  Another point , documentation for use of new tools, features perhaps ?

As for the PUBLIC beta I should expect to see the new features in the manual, but they are not.
I like to keep scripting simple, life is hard enough as it is. Regards, Frits

I think the manual is very good for some functions (e.g. as a reference, to search for specific functions), but it is not the right thing, if you want to print all the pages and read them like a normal book. So i guess the main point is that there is actually no easy-to-read introduction which covers the most important parts. Of course there are some books, but they are just introductions. There is an advanteged book missing, but i guess this isn´t a task for "our" manual, but for an author. Besides, i this question has been discussed a few times before, though a real solution never occured.
