You could avoid anything between 3.2.0 and 3.2.9 to be sure.

I believe we've done quite a lot for the windows port. I guess any
other addition
should come from someone actually using that code. As I have no windows system
it is a very big burden to me to test any windows code, so I'll not
bother with that
unless there is someone contributing it.
