Note: The Pods 3.2.3 release turned into Pods 3.2.4 after a failed attempt at hijacking our plugin on WordPress.org was accidentally documented by online security vulnerability databases as successful.

To be safe and sure that those who are using Pods do not mistake Pods 3.2.3 as a vulnerable release, we will instead release the next version as Pods 3.2.4.
