how to update manuals in Frescobaldi?

Now that Ly 2.18.0 is out, those of us who use Frescobaldi need to update the manuals it refers to in its Documentation Browser tab.

Nowhere can I find instructions for how to do that. In the Preferences modal window it is possible to indicate a path to "the documentation", but that documentation comes in multiple forms, so I'm at a fork in the road with no map. What does Frescobaldi need?

I'll probably be able to figure it out, but I've been messing with Lilypond for years. Newbies (and often me, too!) need explicit instructions.

Secondly, the menu item Help > About Frescobaldi > Version function display a very nice summary of the versions of various program components/dependencies...with one glaring exception: the Lilypond version it will use on the next compile. It wasn't until I started reading through the Preferences window that I could see that after updating Lilypond to 2.18.0 Frescobaldi automatically knew about the update. Maybe this obscurity could be made less obscure.

Beyond that: I've become a Frescobaldi addict. What a lovely piece of genuinely useful software. We are so fortunate to have this fine resource, on top of the marvelous Ly! Profound thanks to all involved....

Tom
