Wow that's a nice list of bugfixes! Is it safe to just update from 3.2.3 with an existing database? If so, is that generally safe with point releases at that third level (3.2.5 through 2.2.9 but maybe not 3.3?) Or is there an upgrade-data script that needs to be run?

System requirements ======================
Changes since 3.0:
* The minimum version of Perl required is now 5.8.8. * There are a number of new Perl module dependencies. Run ./koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m to get a list of any new modules to install during upgrade.
Upgrades ======================
The structure of the acquisitions tables have changed significantly from 3.0.x. In particular, the budget hierarchy is quite different. During an upgrade, a new database table is created called fundmapping that contains a record of how budgets were mapped. It is strongly recommended that users of Koha 3.0.x acquisitions carefully review the results of the upgrade before resuming ordering in Koha 3.2.x.
