[gopher] OverbiteFF 3.1 available

[Mateusz Viste]

To be honest, I think you overreact a little.

The behaviour of substituting TAB-queries by '?' queries might very well 
be older than v3.1, but there is one huge difference between this last 
release and the previous one: now, one *must* use the buggy in-line 
search query form (because that's the only thing that shows up when 
clicking on a type 7 query), while in the previous release I never used 
it, since clicking on a type 7 query triggered a popup window that 
worked fine (with the exception maybe that at some point it started 
asking twice for searches, but that was not a major trouble).

The simple truth is that the current Overbite version is unusable, while 
the previous one was mostly fine. I can only suggest that instead of 
getting angry at the entire world, you should try testing your own 
software before releasing something that doesn't work.

As of right now, I reverted from 3.1.1684 to 3.0.1627.1-signed, and 
search queries work again, so I will stay like that.
