Hi Andrew -

If you _look carefully_, the changes made to the version history for 
6.7.19 in the 6.7.20 manual were all syntax and not semantic.  All 
the same bugs and new features were listed, just some were reworded 
for improved clarity of brevity.  For example, the attribute rounding 
new feature entry was re-worded to be more concise and point to the 
relevant section of the manual that has more details.

However, you do make a very valid point:  you should not be forced to 
"look carefully" in the first place.

Thus in the future we will abstain from making even syntax changes to 
the version history entries of previous releases, in order to avoid 
frustration like you encountered.

Our apologies, and thanks for the feedback,
Todd
