The final update to 3.2 was the bug fix release 3.2.3, which was released

Version 3.3 offered many firsts. It was the first version to separate race
and profession. The Elf class was removed in preference to an Elf Race,
and the races of Dwarves, Gnomes, and Orcs made their first appearance in
the game alongside the familiar Human race. Monk and Ranger roles joined
Archeologists, Barbarians, Cavemen, Healers, Knights, Priests, Rogues,
Tourists, Valkyries and of course, Wizards. It was also the first version
to allow you to ride a steed, and was the first version to have a publicly
available web-site listing all the bugs that had been discovered. Despite
that constantly growing bug list, 3.3 proved stable enough to last for
more than a year and a half.
