it is worth noting that although there has not been a release since v3.2.5,
v3.2.91 should be preferred for any use-case today - there was recent
discussion about promoting 3.2.91 to a new stable release - IMHO that release
could have been 10 years ago - it has likely been the most widely used version
since

the v3.2.5 debian package has been broken (GTK) for more than a decade now -
in that time, the solution to most bug reports from debian users has been to
upgrade to v3.2.91, as arch and other distros had been doing for most of that
decade - more recently, IIRC debian, arch and others dropped support for GTK2,
which is why even v3.2.91 no longer has GUI support on most distros - but i
would still prefer it as the most advanced state of the art
