3.3 is stable, but there are a small number of known bugs - in particular
pme_order != 4 is broken, with a fixed pme.c available on the FTP site.
There has been no manual release for 3.3, although 2-3 weeks ago somebody
implied that that might change in a week or so, but so far I've missed any
developments if any have happened. The adventurous can follow the
instructions on the gromacs webpage (in the FAQ, I think) for building the
manual from 3.3 CVS source after a cvs checkout. I did this so I could get
the one page on REMD... most people probably won't need whatever changes
exist.

There is a list of changes between 3.2.1 and 3.3 elsewhere on the website,
which you can check to judge whether anything you're doing was likely to
have induced a change to the manual, else the 3.2.1 manual is probably
fine.
