Looking at their Maintenance policy (
Maintenance Policy for Ruby on Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides ) it appears 3.2
will no longer receive bug fixes or security updates (only severe security
updates). So, I would assume 3.2 is effectively already end-of-life at this
time. Please let me know if this is not correct.

From their 4.2 release notes
(Ruby on Rails — Rails 4.2: Active Job, Asynchronous Mails, Adequate Record, Web Console, Foreign Keys ) it appears
Rails 3.2 will be EOL when 5.0 comes out sometime in summer 2015.

I can’t actually see where it is stated that 3.2 will reach EOL.

Historically, from thrir older maintenance policies, the oldest version
to
receive only severe security updates is generally dropped from receiving
any updates with the next public release e.g. for Rails 3.1:
