If you want the docs that go with your version of the compiler, then look at 
the ones that come with it (they are provided in the zip file - I don't know if 
they get installed with the installers though). We have enough trouble keeping 
the documentation up-to-date and accurate without having to worry about 
versioning. And for the most part, if you have issues with it due to using an 
older version of the compiler, the advice is going to be to upgrade to the 
latest compiler.
