-Minor patch 3.1.6 released today. This turns off toolbar enablers if
-you're running XEmacs on Solaris; because of strange Solaris problems,
-buttons are disabled too often there. (You can live without
-this part of the patch by customizing the variable
-<tt>proof-toolbar-use-button-enablers</tt>).
-The patch also removes
-the use of an "interval timer" when
-<tt>proof-toolbar-use-button-enablers</tt> is off, since a user
-reported being unable to start itimers unless
-running as root (likely an operating system configuration problem).
-Thanks to Markus Wenzel and Pierre Lescanne for reporting problems.
+Testing phase for Proof General 3.2. Please try out the
+<a href="develdownload.phtml">pre-release</a>
+version of Proof General, and report any problems to us.
+Your feedback is very important because we have no resources
+available for serious compatibility testing ourselves.

-A minor patch to Proof General 3.1 is released today. To check what
-version you have, look at the variable <tt>proof-general-version</tt>
-set in <tt>proof-site.el</tt>. (It is not recorded in the tar file
-name or package version). The current patch, to 3.1.4, was made to
-fix a problem with Isabelle and theory file retraction, accidently
-introduced in 3.1. See <?php
-fileshow("ProofGeneral-3.1-devel/etc/release-log.txt","the developer's
-release log"); ?> for details.
-NB: This patch was first made on 4th April, but didn't quite solve the
-problem. Thanks to Mike Squire for sending a patch to fix the fix.

-Further improvements are being introduced in the new 3.2 pre-releases,
-see the
-<a href="develdownload.phtml">development download</a> page, as usual.
