On behalf of the Python development team, I'm happy to announce the second beta preview release of Python 3.2.
Python 3.2 is a continuation of the efforts to improve and stabilize the Python 3.x line. Since the final release of Python 2.7, the 2.x line will only receive bugfixes, and new features are developed for 3.x only.
Since PEP 3003, the Moratorium on Language Changes, is in effect, there are no changes in Python's syntax and built-in types in Python 3.2. Development efforts concentrated on the standard library and support for porting code to Python 3. Highlights are:
For a more extensive list of changes in 3.2, see
http://docs.python.org/3.2/whatsnew/3.2.html

Please consider trying Python 3.2 with your code and reporting any bugs you may notice to:

Enjoy!
Georg Brandl, Release Manager georg at python.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.2's contributors)

Minor nit - we actually did tweak a few of the builtin types a bit (mostly the stuff to improve Sequence ABC conformance and to make range objects more list-like)
Cheers, Nick.

Indeed, I'll fix this wording for the next announcement. (And I will mention SSL, sorry Antoine).

If you're only going to mention some vague "some builtins had minor changes", then I'm fine with that. If you're going to enumerate all such changes, that will be a bigger job. There were 2 such changes I'm aware of: str.format_map (#6081) and the addition of alternate ("#") formatting to float, complex and decimal (#7094) __format__ methods.
For this announcement I don't think it's necessary to list them all.
