I have been going over the documentation and it is not clear how
to use the methods in relationship to each other. A section is
needed in the V4RB_Reference_2_en.pdf to describe the usage of
encryption and how to piece everything together from the point of
an overview. Also, you need to put a note in the "Converting V4RB
1.x projects to 2.0" section that states encryption usage has
changed.

In general, the quality of the documentation has gone way down
since the version 1.11 documentation. The format is not conducive
to finding information (formatting and the lack of bookmarks) and
there are a lot of grammatical errors. I have had to do a lot of
hunt and pecking to discover the information I needed. Given the
extensive nature of the documentation, this really detracts from
the product. If I was a new customer trying to judge Valentina by
its documentation, I would have to say it looks poorly done.

Also missing is an entry for VException and the EULA.
