CTAN package update: Eplain 3.2 release

Oleg Katsitadze has provided a package which has been mirrored,
automatically, to CTAN. He writes:
I'm happy to announce a new release of Eplain (3.2), a set of TeX
macros that expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a
"style-neutral" fashion. Eplain's home page is
http://tug.org/eplain
Location on CTAN is
/macros/eplain
The manual is available on-line from Eplain's home, or as a hard-copy
from
http://www.lulu.com/content/113810
(Royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group.)
Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file.
* Fixed a bug which caused silent indexing macros to output spurious
space in vertical mode.
* Added a switch to disable index file input/output.
* Fixed xref and bibliography label definition macros so that reading
in a .aux file with a large number of label definitions does not
overflow the save stack.
* Fixed double-column macros -- they were occasionally losing material
and producing columns too high to fit on a page. Also improved
appearance of the last column, which often came out spaced out.
==============
I've updated the catalogue, and the new version should be widely
available by now. Users may view the catalogue entry at
http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/eplain.html
or browse the distribution at

Thanks for the continuing support of the package, Oleg.
