There can of course be cases where 3.09 works and 3.10 does not, although we don't know many of these (that is at this stage pretty much a moot point anyway, since 3.11 is the current version and has been for a while). Incidentally, the great majority of cases where complaints have been made that something worked with version xxx and not with a later version turn out to be cases where either the program is erroneous and the behavior has changed, or alternatively that the program was illegal, and the illegality was not properly diagnosed by the earlier version. This is not to say that there are no cases of regressions, but they are relatively rare compared to these kind of issues (a lot of our support work is in sorting out problems of this kind!)
