Version 3 is now Format 2
What was previously known as Version 3 has now been renamed Format 2. We stopped producing a ‘Version 2’ format many years ago but didn’t update the version naming then. The URL for Format 2 has not changed.
Versions are now formats
The 2 different online formats of the manual have now been named as ‘formats’ instead of ‘versions’. This may make it clearer that each is just a different format of exactly the same information, rather than each containing different information.
New formatting
Both versions of the manual have been updated with some new formatting. The tables are now a bit plainer and easier to read. Image and table titles are also now easier to read.
