 <h1>Target Management 3.2 - New and Noteworthy</h1>
 <p>The emphasis on the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/tm/tutorial/">Target Management 3.2</a>
   release has been on solidifying and hardening existing functionality,
   so there are not too many new features to mention. Still, here are
   some of the more noteworthy things you'll find in TM 3.2 (June 23, 2010)
   which is now available for <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/tm/downloads/index.php" target="_top">download</a>.
   See the <a href="readme_tm_3.2.html">TM 3.2 release notes</a> for details
   on bugs fixed, known issues, noteworthy new API and other changes.</p>

       and "text" file types. The special property of XML files is that they are transferred
       in binary mode, but the local character encoding is determined by looking at the XML
       magic inside the file. The XML filetype association can be configured by the
       <tt>remoteFileTypes</tt> extension point, or in the Remote Files Preference Page.
       This feature required new API to be added, for details see bug
