[Rt-announce] RT 3.2.0 now available

[Jesse Vincent]

I'm pleased to announce the public release of RT 3.2.0.  RT 3.2 represents
over 15 months of new development and includes a number of new
features and improvements, as well as streamlined installation and
upgrade procedures. 

This version of RT features a major overhaul to RT's searching system,
including support for saved searches, direct download of search results
to Microsoft Excel and a powerful new query builder.  You can find a
brief summary of many of the major changes since RT 3.0 at the end of
this announcement.

We always look forward to hearing your feedback about this or any release
