The online x.y docs reflect the x.y branch in the repository. New
features are not normally added in an x.y.z maintenance release, which
is normally bugfixes only. However, asyncio is a new module in 3.4 and
marked as 'provisional', which means subject to change during the 3.4
series of releases. Idle is also exceptional in getting uncategorized
changes in maintenance releases, so each x.y.z release needs a copy of
the Idle doc chapter that is both up-to-date and frozen as of x.y.z.
Making this happen is still a work-in-progress.
