Research direction

Open README.md and find the section on obtaining BrailleBlaster that says no production-ready release exists and points users at version 2.1. Rewrite that section so it states BrailleBlaster 3.2.5 is available and ready for production use, keeping the surrounding wording and formatting intact. Done when the section no longer contains the outdated 2.1/no-release claims and renders correctly on the repository landing page.

Description

The README.md which is displayed on the GitHub repository page has outdated information. In the section about obtaining BrailleBlaster it states there is no production ready release of the open-source BrailleBlaster and suggests users after a production ready version to use the 2.1 version. This information should be updated to reflect the situation where BrailleBlaster 3.2.5 is available and is considered ready for production use.
