Not sure if I made that clear: The new release will definitely not be
3.2.9 but the question was whether to call it 3.2.10 (bug fix release)
or 3.3.0 (new features). It seems we all agree that bumping it to
3.3.0 makes sense.

The confusion about the 3.2.9 release that never happened is probably
in part due to development versions (snapshots) made after the 3.2.8
release which display themselves as 3.2.9. Ideally they should have
names like 3.2.9-dev or 3.2.9-alpha etc. There is a NOS9DBG flag in
the rules.mak for this purpose, used by SysGo for the printed banner
"development build, not for distribution". We just have to remember to
turn that off for the final 3.3.0 :)
