          <h2>Table of Contents</h2>
          <p>This documentation covers <em>larch</em> version 7.2.</p>

<p>WARNING: larch-7.2 is still quite new and probably buggy, but it is
the recommended version, especially for command-line users - please
report bugs!
</p>
<p>Although relatively few changes have been made to the structure of the
profiles, it is not completely compatible with larch-7.1, so don't mix
the two.
</p>
