Hi folks,
 We decided to put out 3.2.2 - it fixes a number of bugs and it
integrates some features from plugins. I don't think 3.2.2 is perfect
but it does catch a lot of issues we didn't catch in 3.2.1 - esp
depsolving hang ups - so we should be much better off than we were.

Changes:
- integrated installonlyn plugin functionality - new config option
installonly_limit will remove old, non-running kernels from your system
as you add more. It defaults to off, though.

- we're downloading and saving mirrorlists locally, now, for a cached
default. So you don't have to grab them each time if you run frequently.

- implement an extra rpm transaction check at the end of the depsolving.
This will help us catch invalid depsolving we might be doing. Defaults
to on.

- bunch of depsolving issues, multilib depsolving issues, unicode output
issues

- See the changelog for the complete list
