Because of a disk failure, I'm no longer able to run Windows. In practical terms, this means I'm not able to do any work on Plan-G - no more bug fixes, no new features, until I can get it repaired. Don't worry, all the data and code is well backed up, so nothing is lost.

Windows runs in a partition on my work Mac (the dedicated FS PC I had died long ago), and the only way to fix it is to take down the whole system and rebuild it from scratch. Other options have been tried and failed. Because of my work commitments right now, this is not a viable option, at least in the short term. And Macs are sealed units these days, so simply bunging in a new drive isn't an option. Buying a new dedicated PC isn't an option either (financially speaking).

Consequently, the 3.1.3 beta is now the official front-page release build for Windows 7 and later. XP is still on 3.1.2, simply because I don't have an update build for it. Please be reassured, XP users: you may be few (less than 2%, based on number of downloads), but I haven't abandoned you. When I can do it, there will be an XP update.

Normal service will be resumed eventually.
