Handbook missing?

Dear Sirs:
Upgraded to version 0.9.6 now I can't open the Local Handbook in Help Menu.
All PDF files are correctly installed in the Man folder of Musescore.
Instead, Online Handbook works well.
Any suggestion?
Working with Windows XP
This is a known problem. For details see:
#6060: Help > Local Handbook doesn't work
I understood that version 0.9.6 r3160 had solved the inconvenience so I downloaded the soft again, but is the same r3145 I had.
Well, no so important. It is possible manually open the Manual or even to print it.
Many thanks.
r3160 is a reference in the code history of MuseScore. MuseScore 0.9.6 has been build with the code was at revision 3145.
The fix will be available later in a new release or prerelease of MuseScore.
I think it´s important to have this problem fixed soon in the version that you can download from musescore.org. It´s important for new users that the handbook is available in the program. I use to recommend MuseScore to my friends and collegues always telling them that there is a local handbook under the Help-menu. The handbook is the no 1 teacher for a new user.
Perhaps it could be an automatic update?
Since this is my first comment on this forum I´d like to thank all you developers for a wonderful program. During the last ten years I´ve used all the leading scorewriter-programs on the market. Since 0.9.5, MuseScore is the only scorewriter I use. And I use it every day!
