As announced earlier, 3.1 is now available. We would, of course,
appreciate whatever feedback you would care to offer (publicly or
privately). Things have been surprisingly quiet and all I know so
far is what we already knew (the *big* problems are all fixed, many
Treo/T5 "thank-you" notes are coming in). I have had 1 report of an
off-the-beaten-path crash and 1 user whose registration is no longer
working. We are working on both.
Here are the changes new in release 3.1 on September 9, 2005 (from
3.0):

ButtonActions

devices

usable/visible

pref is off)

running)
