Convert with JS a Solidity bytes32 to a Solidity string

Question

I have functions which are forced to return a bytes32 object, but then in my webapp I need to reconvert them to a classic string. How can I do that?

Try using the web3.js function web3.toAscii (doc), which might change name to web3.toUtf8 or something similar in the future.

I see at the top of the documentation that these features are not yet released. Are these features still not released or is the documentation out of date?
