Each release includes its documentation.  Why don't you download it and open 
it up?

As others have said, TRY IT.  If it works, send a bug report asking to add it 
to the manpage.  If it doesn't work, you'll get an error.  Why are you so 
insistent on others telling you every last detail of the program in advance, 
when you could learn it trivially by trying it yourself?

Incidentally, if you have shell access on that Fedora cluster, there's 
nothing stopping you from running the latest versions out of your home 
directory.
