A very good idea, to concentrate on the present code and release a
tip-top version. It seems that all of us are very busy at the moment
and to focus our forces on a new release without adding all the new
exiting stuff is the way to go if we shall be able to release shortly,
which I really hope.

It's been a long time since the last release as you said, and doing a
new release will be good for us and for monit, it raises the awareness
of our excellent product and brings in more users which is always fun
and last but not least gives us a feeling of progress :-)

The bottom line now is to fix the depend code and then we are ready.

BTW, because we have lot's of new cool stuff in this version, what do
you say about stepping up the version number to 3.5 instead of 3.1 to
flag that this is not a minor feature release?
