Version 3.1.0

Version 3.1.0 contains a fix for a bug which was affecting garbage collection behavior.

In version 3.0.0, static references (from Class objects) were not being considered
when marking objects as live. This led to objects being considered dead, and
consequently collected, pre-maturely.

This issue has been addressed in version 3.1.0.

Version 3.0.0

This marks a stable release of the simulator which is compatible with version
3.0 TraceFiles.
