[Documentation issue] - Section B.2 Shortcut Cheatsheet about sonic-pi HOT 4 OPEN

The web based tutorial is for version 3.2 (stated at the end) and is significantly out of date for recent version in various areas. For example Minecraft is no longer supported since version 4.0 of SP. This is because the RPi version was dropped from their OS. (There is a hacked version produced by pi-apps.io which does run on the latest OS but I don't know if it still contains the software necessary to interact with SP were the code there to be reinstated.) There are probably other examples where it is out of date. The builtiin History file and documentation within the SP app should be accurate to get latest info. Basically the web documentation should be brought up to date to version 4.5.1

@rbnpi Thanks for the response!
Yes, that sounds about right
Do you have any information as to how we can update the web based tutorial match the current 4.5.1 ?
Where is the source code for the web version hosted?

It's pretty easy to do. The documentation is all generated when you build from source as html files. These are located in
sonic-pi/app/gui/qt/book folder (you start with Examples.html, Fx.html, Samples.html,Synths.html or Tutorial.html depending on what you want. (There are different language options for Tutorial). It is merely a matter of transferring these to the website. However Sam would have to do that for sonic-pi.net

EDIT you don't have to do a complete build. I think just compiling ruby extensions and then running the pre-translation script for your OS. eg on my Pi I downloaded a new sourcecode for 4.5.1 then RAN
server/ruby/bin/compile-extensions.rb (from the app folder) followed by ./linux--pre-translations.sh
I did have requisites preinstalled eg ruby

@samaaron Any chance of updating the Tutorial on sonic-pi.net to 4.5.1 version. Currently at 3.2
