The online x.y docs reflect the x.y branch in the repository.  New 
features are not normally added in an x.y.z maintenance release, which 
is normally bugfixes only.  However, asyncio is a new module in 3.4 and 
marked as 'provisional', which means subject to change during the 3.4 
series of releases. Idle is also exceptional in getting uncategorized 
changes in maintenance releases, so each x.y.z release needs a copy of 
the Idle doc chapter that is both up-to-date and frozen as of x.y.z. 
Making this happen is still a work-in-progress.
