Yes, support for GLSL will be in 3.2. At this point we're merely doing
fine tuning to our support for GLSL and adding "external" features, like
support for ATI's RenderMonkey, samples, documentation, etc.
If there's anything in particular you'd like to see for this feature in
3.2 please advise. The API is more or less frozen but that doesn't stop us
from making additions in other parts of the release.
In terms of timing, we should have Alphas/Betas soon. Stay tuned ... I'll
let Allan reply to the details of the timing concerning the release of
3.2.
Hope this helps,
Alex.
