3.2.8 was released August 6, 2010. Today is the 10th. I'm currently running 3.2.6 on OS X Leopard. When I check for updates I'm told I'm running the most recent version.
Am I missing something?

Re: check for updates not working with 3.2.8
The auto-update feature is always late. This allows the download servers to handle the early downloaders, while giving the devs a bit of time in case there is a serious issue with the current build. As there have been finals released that needed a new build, this is very useful when you rely on the auto-update checker. If you haven't updated yet, you should get a notification in a few days.

Ah, thanks. I had no idea they were staggered like that. Can ignore my post on the "Discuss 3.2.8" thread. Will see if I can delete it.
