As Terry pointed out, better to point people to the 2.7 docs, and
remind them to keep an eye out for "new in 2.7" or "changed in 2.7" if
they're using 2.6.

Really, the older versions should only be referenced if you're looking
at an offline version, or you want information on a deprecated feature
that doesn't exist in the latest version.

Cheers,
Nick.
