I'd be interested to know what discrepancies you found. So will the
maintainers of the respective documents.

1. Subscribe to the FreeBSD-stable mailing list.
2. Read the messages.
3. If you get no other information, use:
make world
4. If you run into trouble, ask the FreeBSD-stable mailing list.
Give details.
In this case, we've just had a somewhat regrettable problem with
-STABLE. It was preceded by a "HEADS UP" message in the mailing list,
so you should have half expected problems. I think it's fixed now.
