The online manual is out of date, and needs to be regenerated against 5.93.

Actually, 5.3.0 came in between (roughly Aug 04), but was labeled
unstable, so it was not picked up in all distros.  Then in the last couple
of months, we had 5.90 and 5.91 as preliminary releases, 5.92 as the first
stable release since 5.2.1, and 5.93 as the current stable release.
