Let me add a little bit of background here: versions 3.0.5 and 3.1 were both released on the very same day: 3.0.5 is not older than 3.1. The former was a stable bugfix release and 3.1 came with serveral new features (and unfortunately no perfect backwards compatibility for running older programs). There were some minor issues (bugs) in 3.1 as well, although I don't remember the exact impact. At the time, there were no programs that used the new features and switching to it might cause problems for others. Right now, many programs will work with either version, and some even require the new 3.1 features (as you pointed out). I had expected that there would be a bugfix release for 3.1 by now with, so that I could upgrade to that version. But maybe the bugs aren't as important as I thought. I'll look in to these issues and will probably switch the port to 3.1(.x) soon.
