Editorial change in the documentaion templates. Many pages in previous releases had a "Last updated" timestamp in the page footer. The timestamp indicated when the HTML-page was generated by the documentation tool, not when the actual content of the page was updated/changed. The timestamp is now removed since it caused a lot of confusion.
