[yt-dev] today's PR review hangout and 3.2 release udpate

[Matthew Turk]

I've grafted on everything that got merged; @ now includes *no* volume
rendering changes, and *does* include all subsequent PRs.  A few
commits got doubled up as a result, which I don't think is that bad.

That means Ricarda, Britton, and anyone else whose PR got merged will
need to explicitly update to @.
