[Laszlo-dev] Which documentation should be used for OL 4.0.18?

[P T Withington]

Well that warning will never go away in the 4.0 line, as that line is  
no longer actively developed.

The major API changes came with 4.2 (which we all know in hindsight  
should have been 5.0).

But, unless you are doing something pretty obscure, you should be able  
to use either doc set. Our goal is to try to maintain compatibility.
