Curious if 3.2 will get a newly printed manual?  I know there were suggestions already possible of new kickstart ROMs, but I've already found in the 3.1/disks from someone off eBay that with 3.1.4 there are new things that really aren't covered in the manuals, so was wondering if we could get new printed manuals, that'd be pretty sweet and feel like a more worthy upgrade.

The 3.1.4.1 FAQ on Aminet covers everything new. Old stuff should be covered by the good old 3.1 manual except some specific topics.

I am writing the current AmigaOS 3.2 FAQ, which is the nearest thing to a manual. It currently covers more than 100 topics.

I could certainly write a book about 3.2, but it would unfortunately take me about six months. And I am not so sure there is a market for it, or even worth spending my time on it.
I'd buy a copy, even of it were a digital version.  There are some things not in the 3.1 manual I already found that I was curious about, like when to choose Direct SCSI in HD toolbox?
