Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux While translating userguide_usenet.po I stumbled over a few gui related errors. The english text talks about treeviews which are now shown as symbol view or tab controls. This very much looks like the doc is talking about the old gui. The screenshots are old too.
SVN commit 490049 by philrod: Update the "Usenet news" chapter to match the current interface, and take new screenshots.
