Thanks for the preparations, release 3.1.0 is now online. Please
remember to announce it, and to pull from the repository.

I've included Octave versions 4.0.. into DESCRIPTION, even if there
are currently more test failures with it than with 4.2.. . 4.0.. is
the Octave version provided by Debian stable, so if possible we should
support it. imp_invar and damp had to be added to INDEX, hopefully
they are in the correct section.
