improving data updates docs for clinvar, no redmine, just noticed this while using the track

 Entries in the ClinVar short variants track are shaded by clinical annotation:
 <b><font color="red">red for pathogenic</font></b>,
 <B><font color="#888">dark grey for uncertain significance or not provided</font></b> and
 <B><font color="green">green for benign</font></b>.
 </p>
 
 <p>
 The score of the variants is the number of "stars" in ClinVar. On the track configuration page (above), you can filter the track to show only variants with more than a certain number of stars. For more information on the star rating, see the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/docs/review_status/"

+<h2>Data updates</h2>
+<p>ClinVar publishes a new release once per month and this track is updated automatically 5-6 days 
+later. You can find the previous versions of the track organized by month on our
+downloads server in the 
+<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/archive/clinvar/" target="_blank">archive</a>
+directory. To access one of these previous versions, paste the URL to one of
+the older files into our "Custom tracks" box.</p>
 
 <H2>Data access</H2>
 <p>
 The raw data can be explored interactively with the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTables">Table Browser</a>
 or the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a>.
 
 <p>
 For automated download and analysis, the genome annotation is stored in a bigBed file that
 can be downloaded from
 <a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/bbi/" target="_blank">our download server</a>.
 The files for this track are called <tt>clinVarMain.bb</tt> and <tt>clinVarCnv.bb</tt>. Individual
 regions or the whole genome annotation can be obtained using our tool <tt>bigBedToBed</tt>
 which can be compiled from the source code or downloaded as a precompiled
 binary for your system. Instructions for downloading source code and binaries can be found
 <a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#utilities_downloads">here</a>.
 The tool
 can also be used to obtain only features within a given range, e.g. 
 <tt>bigBedToBed http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hg19/bbi/clinvar/clinvarMain.bb -chrom=chr21 -start=0 -end=100000000 stdout</tt></p>

 <h2>Methods</h2>
 
 <p>
 ClinVar files were reformatted at UCSC to the <a href="../goldenPath/help/bigBed.html">bigBed</a> format.
 The data is updated every month, one week after the ClinVar release date.
 The program that performs the update is available on
 <a href="https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/kent/blob/master/src/hg/utils/otto/clinvar/clinVarToBed"
 target="_blank">Github</a>.

 <h2>Credits</h2>
 <p>
 Thanks to NCBI for making the ClinVar data available on their FTP site as a tab-separated file.
