A choice was offered, at update #4653, to advance to 3.3 and the maintainer of 
the 3.2 fork chose NO.  There are no provisions for advancing to 3.3 after that 
point.

It's true that this differs from most earlier releases, because 3.2 continued 
to evolve after the fork, rather than merely receiving a few fixes that might 
have allowed for later advancing to 3.3.

It is conceivable that you could fool your system into thinking that it was at 
update 4653 (remove or rename all changeSets after this #), *then* change your 
version and go forward from there, but I have no certainty that it would be 
successful.

Hope this helps.
