-Proof General 3.2 has several new features and some bug fixes.
+[ in progress ]
+Proof General 3.3 is a minor release. It includes a few small features
+additions, but mainly the focus has been on compatibility improvements
+for new versions of provers (in particular, Coq 7), and new versions of
+emacs (in particular, XEmacs 21.4).
+
+See the @file{CHANGES} file in the distribution for more complete
+details of changes since 3.2.

+
+The aim of the Proof General project is to provide a powerful and
+configurable interfaces which help user-interaction with interactive
+proof assistants.
+
+The strategy Proof General uses is to targets power users rather than
+novices; other interfaces have often neglected this class of users. But
+we do include general user interface niceties, such as toolbar and
+menus, which make use easier for all.
+
+Proof General has been Emacs based so far, but plans are afoot to
+liberate it from the points and parentheses of Emacs Lisp. The
+successor project Proof General Kit proposes that proof assistants use a
+@i{standard} XML-based protocol for interactive proof, dubbed @b{PGIP}.
+
+PGIP will enable middleware for interactive proof tools and interface
+components. Rather than configuring Proof General for your proof
+assistant, you will need to configure your proof assistant to understand
+PGIP. There is a similarity however; the design of PGIP was based
+heavily on the Emacs Proof General framework.

+
+Proof General 3.2 introduced several new features and some bug fixes.
One noticeable new feature is the addition of a prover-specific menu for
each of the supported provers. This menu has a ``favourites'' feature
that you can use to easily define new functions. Please contribute
