Documentation covers 6.00 through 6.42.
Version 6.5x documentation is partially complete.
Version 6.60 documentation is under way.
Upgrade NOTE:
If you are upgrading from 5.x, version 6.x has a new storage format for headers. You have to manually invoke the conversion if you want to bring your 5.x headers into V6. Conversion from earlier versions is not supported. A new spool folder, SPOOL_V6 will be created for storing headers. To invoke the conversion, select a group or a bunch of groups in the Groups tab, right-click and select Post Storage, then choose "Import Version 5.XX Headers". A progress screen will pop up and you'll have to wait for it to finish before continuing.
