Greetings all,

This are my list of *bare essentials* for 3.2.0b5 and a tentative=20
release schedule to get it out in about three weeks.  Comments on=20
both are invited... =20

TO-DO LIST
~~~~~~~~~~

SHOWSTOPPER:
* Still need thorough testing of the database, with Neal's zlib patch
  Any ideas how we can test this thoroughly?

TESTING:
* httools programs: (htload a test file, check a few characteristics,
  htdump and compare)
* Test field restricted searching

DOCUMENTATION:
* Split attrs.html into categories for faster loading.
  (i.e., commit Ted's scripts)
* require.html is not updated to list new features and disk space
   requirements of 3.2.x (e.g. regex matching, database compression.)
   PRs# 405280 #405281.
* Document the list of all installed files and default
   locations. PR#405715.
