We already discussed about this and I agree, even that it is not so 
easy: we will probably have to make a branch from 3.1.0, containing only 
critical fixes, without the new functionality. Making release packages 
means convincing snapshot build machines to make builds from a branch 
instead from the svn HEAD, since releases are nothing else the repacked 
snapshot builds. And I'm afraid that this is currently not supported (at 
least not tested).

The other option is to delay the new functionality merging until the 
3.2.0 is released...

But let first make the 3.1.0 release, then we will see...
