glfwGetVersionString() results in "3.2.0 X11 GLX clock_gettime /dev/js XI Xf86vm shared", but if I take a look to http://www.glfw.org/ the current version is 3.1.2 (not 3.2), so what is wrong?

3.0.0b SNAPSHOT

LWJGL comes with nightly builds of GLFW that have moved on from 3.1.2. Besides fixes, the idea is to get new features faster until we reach feature parity with LWJGL 2. We're currently missing a) setting window icons (at runtime) and b) display mode changes without losing the OpenGL context. We should have both by the time GLFW 3.2 is done.

You may argue that this is not a good practice and you'd have a good point. But LWJGL 3 is still in beta and I also monitor GLFW progress closely. Their development process is quite strict and only verified code gets merged into the master branch, so it's been very stable so far.
