I am wondering if you have any indications as to the release schedule for Noesis 3.1.6? There are some fixes there I'd really like to get my hands on.

We have plans to release 3.1.6 in the upcoming weeks. Please send us the list (here or privately) of tickets that are important to you just to verify we are aligned because not everything listed right now at 3.1.6 is going to be implemented. Unfortunately, we will have to leave things for 3.1.7.
