Yes, this is correct. This code  is available on all versions although it
used not  to work  on the  evaluation copies  due to  the way  the little

There  is no  specific  documentation  of the  algorithms,  and they  are
regularly  improved. There  have  been 2-3  improvements  since 1.8a  was
released for instance.
