Yes, indeed... ;-)

Stephen Brandon ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) has done a lot of work and I decided to switch to 3.1.0 as he did so many things a lot of people are waiting for like SEF URL support and many more.
See the list of changes:

• Many internal changes and some security fixes by Stephen Brandon ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )
• changed to standard Joomla configuration of component (parameters view), which makes it easier to add new config options. This means that the old configuration view has been removed.
• removed unused file in captcha component which allowed a XSS vulnerability
• fixed a database insert that used unfiltered code (sql injection)
• added SEF URL support for standard Joomla SEF
• removed all known PHP warnings
• allow "code" for downloads even when captcha is turned off
• the captcha only has to be done once per user. After that it's flagged in their session that they don't need to do it again.
• better handling of incorrect data in the URL
• fixed broken code for deleting out-of-date cards
• removed all use of _GET and changed to JRequest. This solves all problems with slashes and quotes in input strings.
• component can now be updated simply by installing on top of the old one (without uninstalling first)
• more component setup parameters are available when creating the menu item
• you can make a menu link to an individual category
• reduced use of "style" in HTML and moved the CSS into the style sheets, making it easier to override the styles from your template's CSS files

There is still some work on this release so it is not yet available for download but it will surely this year!

So, stay tuned!!!
