Hi all,
GNU Stow 2.3.1 is now available for download from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/stow/
and also from the mirrors[1] as soon as they catch up.
Stow is a symlink farm manager program which takes distinct sets
of software and/or data located in separate directories on the
filesystem, and makes them all appear to be installed in a single
directory tree.
While Stow has often been used to manage system-wide software
installations, it also provides a clean mechanism for managing
software and configuration files in users' home directories:

More information is available at the homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/
[1] You can see a list of mirrors at http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html
or use http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/stow/ which will automatically
redirect to a nearby mirror.
Here is a summary of the changes since the previous release;
please see the ChangeLog for full details.
* For improved ease of installation, dependencies on Hash::Merge and
Clone::Choose introduced in 2.3.0 were removed again.
Historically stow hasn't had runtime dependencies other than Perl
itself, which is a useful property if you're managing the
installation of Perl using stow. This property has now been
restored.
Many thanks to Adam Sampson for this patch!

* An issue with the test suite was fixed.
t/cli.t was not testing with the right Perl executable, as reported
here:
<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=129944>
Thanks to Slaven Rezic for spotting this and reporting it!
* Various maintainer tweaks
The release process and its documentation were improved in various
minor ways.
Happy hacking,
Adam
