Thank you to everyone who tested beta2 - we caught a number of bugs,
none of which are huge, which gives me confidence that the upcoming
3.2.0 release will be a sturdy one.

As promised[1], we have another beta release available this morning.
Please test!  Those of you who have been holding off on testing
amvault based on my warning last week: it's fixed, so please have at
it.  (By the way: three releases in one week!  Whew!)

Find the tarball and pre-built binaries in the usual places:

The following fixes are included in 3.2.0 beta3:

- fix dumper to process encryption parameter correctly (Stefan)
- always set the current slot, even when searching by label (Gene)
- print all DLEs in the postscript labels (Paul Yeatman)
- process events before timeouts, in case Amanda blocks for a long time
- minor fixes for convert-zd-mtx-to-robot.sh
- amvault: use tapetype splitting parameters, rather than splitting
unconditionally at 2 MB (therm)
- fix amtape --help (Jon LaBadie)
- report re-flushed dumps (Gunnar)
- recovery-limit fixes (therm)
- handle negative taper durations better (mezzie)
- better cleanup on device finish (Robert)
- test threading on FreeBSD better (John Hein)

I'd like to see if we can get Erich's bug fixed, although I'm not yet
convinced that it's a new bug in 3.2.

NOTE: none of the 3.2.0 beta releases exhibit the vulnerability
announced yesterday for 3.1.2.

At this point the Amanda team is targetting a 3.2.0 release around
Monday the 18th, but that is of course subject to change.  Also, there
are strong rumors of a 3.1.3 ZWC release coming soon that will fix a
number of bugs, including the two Jon has been chasing down.
