Update: Due to an unfortunate error multilingual sites cannot be upgraded to CiviCRM 3.2.2; if you’re running such site please wait for CiviCRM 3.2.3. Single-language sites (regardless of the language they use) should upgrade to CiviCRM 3.2.2 cleanly, and new CiviCRM 3.2.2 installations (both single- and multilingual) should work without a problem.

After what seems to be an incredibly long time, we released CiviCRM v3.2 a few weeks ago to good reviews and not too many critical bug reports :). Now that is out of the way, we are starting to plan the feature set for v3.3 We've been fortunate to get a grant from Open Society Institute to help add some features important for Human Right Organizations, specifically for Front Line. We've been working with Front Line for a few years and this grant allows us to target their needs more effectively.

Tokens are used in CiviCRM to create mail merges in much the same way as, for example, Microsoft Office. They are currently implemented in (at least) four places in CIviCRM: 'CiviMail', 'Send Mail to Contacts', 'Create PDF Letter' and 'Create Mailing Labels'. Out of the box Civi comes with a decent set of tokens, including tokens for all the address fields. One thing it doesn't do is provide a token that correctly formats an address block taking account of when fields aren't present. For example, if i used the following address tokens for my address:
