Glyphs 4: Erase tool is missing

I can’t find the Erase tool anywhere. The toolbar slot on E only holds the Knife tool. Shift-E doesn’t toggle, and clicking and holding the Knife icon doesn’t offer Erase in the menu. It’s also absent from the actions list in Settings → Shortcuts.

The handbook still documents it (Editing Paths → Deleting Nodes), so I assume this isn’t intentional. Delete on a selected node still work as expected, but I miss clicking nodes away directly without selecting first.

Is the tool gone for good, or is this a regression?

It was removed on purpose. The handbook is not up to date, yet.
