when will pacman 3.1 be out?

I know, no developer likes questions like that, but I am asking because I am still hoping for a fix for bug FS#7484. And now it's close to 3 months since that bug is there and I'm getting kind of anxious when/if this bug will be fixed.
(If that bug was fixed in 3.0.5-3 then I am sorry, I can't test it right now because I'm on vacation til sept 25th but telling from the absence of a news and from the bug-report being still open and still saying "due in version 3.1 I'm guessing this bug is still there).
A long time ago someone said somewhere here on this form that 3.1 will probably be out by end of July or beginning of August. Well, we're about a month past that, so does anyone know more about pacman 3.1 or a fix about bug FS#7484?
thx :>

Not a developer, but I know the answer is "When its ready"...  As you seem to have unfortunately found out, the package manager needs lots of testing before released and should not be rushed.

It should have been fixed in that version, but only by a quick temporary fix, it's not a backport of the better solution that was made in 3.1 .
And about 3.1, just like Allan said smile
