I browsed the Changelog and didn't find it ...

The current xml-docs-tree is based on the amanda-243-branch of the
CVS. 2.4.5b1 comes out of the amanda-245-branch, so there are
differences, yes. But not, when it comes to "starttime", AFAIK.

The manpages in the xml-docs-branch are somewhat corrected and
formatted, but the content hasn't changed much vs. standard 2.4.4p4.
I am looking forward to (and working on) merging the xml-docs into the
next major AMANDA-release.
