The linked paper, TDT-v01o.pdf, is bit-identical to a draft I downloaded in November. Which is odd since I thought I remembered a few drafty features in it like incomplete references to be filled in later, and it ends with "This manuscript was cut off here" and a one-entry bibliography.

Did they link to the wrong version?

You do realize that the linked article dates from November the 12th, do you? It linked to the most recent version which was then available.
I didn't notice -- thanks. I only skimmed the announcement and got the impression of a polished version ready to submit to some fancy journal.

It's interesting as is, anyway, judging by the first half. I'll be getting back to it.

It certainly looks like it. Maybe if Eliezer sees this he can post a link to the actual finished copy?

FWIW, though, whether finished or not there's a lot of really interesting stuff in there, definitely worth a read, even if you know/care nothing about/for decision theory.

Indeed! This paper seeems to have been so highly anticipated, it was released by those anticipating it before it was finished.
