I heard that the 7/31 was the latest release, the announcement was just running behind.

Stardock, any chance of a what's new highlight of the docs?

Nobody looked at the titlepage of the docs for dates.

Whatever the titlepage says, the documentation contains all the new features by the looks of it.
I second a what's new or better yet, a history section so we can see what was added when.

For this release I belive these are the new additions:

In Object namespace:
* Object.SetScript(name)
* Object.Cursor

In System namespace:
* System.DownloadFile(remoteUrl, localPath, bAsync)
* System.SendRequest(remoteUrl, postParams, bAsync)
* System.SimpleWrite(path, content, param)
* System.SimpleRead(path, param)

In DesktopX namespace:
* DesktopX.Exit(params)
* DesktopX.MsgBox(msg, flags, title, owner)

Will standalone Pro follow soon ? (Link still leads to 3.1)

I got my Pro version listed as 3.2 on SDC.

Yes but SDC is still different to standalone setup.
