This documentation is for the latest release. (Or at least it's supposed to be... in cases where the code has been updated but the documentation has not, that's a bug in the documentation.) If you are looking for documentation on M5 1.1 please go here. Complementary information from our tutorials, including about three hours of video from our last tutorial, is available here. The tutorials provide basic information about using M5 and are time well spent for anyone new to the simulator.
