v3.2-beta 1

This is a pre-release of the v3.2 beta, meant for testing.

To make things easier, I've provided some pre-compiled binaries for a few platforms. They include only the executable, and require the rest of the directory structure to work.

The pre-compiled binaries are provided for the following platforms:

• RPI4 32-bit (non-Dispmanx, built on RaspberryPi OS)
• RPI3 32-bit (non-Dispmanx, built on RaspberryPi OS)
