I have now released the last "pre" snapshot for the 3.2.x branch. It is 
available for immediate download from Mod_Survey's home page.

The next release will be a "release candidate" for a full stable release. 
I'm viewing this snapshot as rather stable, indeed a lot more stable than 
the "stable" 3.0.15 release. However, there remains a lot of testing, 
documentation and internationalization do be done. 

I am expecting to release the release candidate later this month. 

The most important changes in the 3.2.0-pre6 release are:

* New examples section: The examples have been written from scratch. 
* Updated layout engine: The layout engine has been reworked so that it is 
  mainly conducted through external stylesheets. The default layout is now
  "cloud", which is defined in webroot/system/cloud.css. All tags now are
  heavilly marked up with "div" tags so that most things can be controlled
  via stylesheets. See examples section for view of different themes.  
* Layout in admin module reworked to look like the one in data.
* Updated core exports: Added "R" export, updated SPSS export (among 
  highlights is ability to split multichoice into different variables), 
  updated Delimited Fields (with better support for MiniTab and Access)
* Added aggregate exports: Added Descriptive export which presents 
  descriptive statistics of a variable, and FrequecyTables which presents
  frequencies of a variable.
* MAILCOPY finished: All aspects of mailing respondent data now 
  implemented.
* SECURITY finished: All aspects of security settings now implemented. 
  Highligts include IP-based access control, unique answers and plain
  password-protecting different aspects of a survey.
* IMPORT finished (more or less): Fields can be updated at submit. Layout 
  now follows the same rules as other tags. 

As we approach a stable release, bug reports grow more important. So 
please test this and complain about everything that doesn't work. :-)
