This is the first development/testing branch of the Nagios 3.x code. It
fixes a number of reported bugs that are present in 3.0.6 and includes a
new feature that will check for new releases of Nagios. Once the 3.1.x
release branch is tested enough to be considered stable, a stable 3.2.0
release will be made.

>From here on out, ODD minor versions of Nagios releases (e.g. 3.1.x,
3.3,x) will be considered experimental/testing, while EVEN minor
versions (e.g. 3.2.x, 3.4.x) will be considered stable.
