I do, but there are (might be, hah!) probably people that think along
the same lines as me, that might want to look before they leap. We
wouldn't know, if they don't read the list, of course. That's why I
think nightly, multi-page-html docs on the website (clearly marked,
obviously) would be a good thing. It depends whether you agree with me
when I say that it takes more effort to compose an email and subscribe
to a mailing list (and arrange a new mail client folder, and filter) to
ask about a new feature or change, than it does to do a quick skimmed
comparison of the release docs vs head docs. And of course whether
people do that at all!
If the docs can be transferred via scp, the process could be added to
the nightly build script, potentially...? Not that you'd want a
cleartext login in it - but isn't it possible to use a
not-password-based method of authentication (some kind of encrypted
tokens?) with ssh/scp...? I don't remember.

Sorry, I meant process screenshots like of dialogs, where they're
included to illustrate the text of the docs - but they can also be used
to see how the interface has changed between release and head versions.
Obviously not everything's visible, but for those things that are (there
were lots of UI changes from 1.1.x to 1.2.0).

Cool :)

Ah, ok.
