As far as upgrading existing 3.x applications to 3.2 we have a rather thorough set of upgrade notes you can step through to upgrade your application. https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/site ... notes.html. The most significant changes are related to the LDS Account integration updates.
As always feel free to contact a member of the stack team with questions or for help in upgrading.
The next 3.2 release is scheduled for January. We're currently following Spring 3.1's release progress (currently at RC1). We plan to release 3.2 final soon after Spring 3.1 goes final.
