fixed typos in "NEWS for version 2.32" (v2)
Commit Message
Hi,
I resubmit that patch to the list since the original mail (patch 40224)
was ill-formed. Hopefully this one will be good. Florian, please could
you confirm your positive review, so that I can push it using git-pw?
Paul

Since you are there, add the double space after period as well. The rest
look ok, thanks.

Dear Adhemerval,
