I have just pushed 3.1.7.26, which features merge of Elias Pipping's extensive re-engineering of UIOP:RUN-PROGRAM, and addition of UIOP:LAUNCH-PROGRAM. Thanks to Elias for an enormous amount of work.
Thanks also to Faré for his extensive reviewing, to Daniel Kochmanski for his extensive work on UIOP (and apologies for my inability to figure out how to put an accent properly in his name!).
RUN-PROGRAM has changed quite a bit, and whenever we move to a new release, I propose to bump to 3.2, to make it easier for people to detect these extensions.
Best, Robert

A 3.2 release soon would make a lot of sense, but if you are going to do it, there are quite a few small changes that could benefit from being made just before such a release, such as: * adding new flags to defsystem (if you do), * completing and merging in the obsolete-function-warnings branch * maybe removing some old backward compatibility functions * being serious about make-operation
What about releasing what we have as 3.1.8 and then doing these things and releasing 3.2?

We could do that. To be honest, I wasn't thinking of releasing anything immediately: I was thinking of waiting for people to have some experience with the extensions of RUN-PROGRAM before doing so. I figured we could give them a little time to shake out.
I like your checklist -- at least the last three. Maybe I will make tickets for them on launchpad to help track them.
