The Grid-Control is fully compatible with 3.2 and 3.3 as far as I know.

With 3.3M6 Nebula will release a GridViewer based upon the new JFace-API
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=146945), so if you'd like
to use GridViewer you need to wait for M6. The Grid-Widget code is not
affected by all this :-)
