Draft zip/tarballs for the 1.32 release are available from the following locations:

These are NOT the tarballs that will be released; rather, they are the first probe aiming to uncover whatever problems we are still unaware of (including problems with archives preparation), or, if there are none, to confirm that pending a few issues below, we are finally ready to release.
In libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp around line 600 the remove function
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DECL bool remove( const path & ph ) { if ( exists( ph ) ) { ...
will not delete dangling symlinks. Instead, the exists() line should be replaced with
if ( exists( ph ) || symbolic_link_exists ( ph ) )
Fixed in both main trunk and RC_1_32_0. Thanks! --Beman
