See, I knew I'd screw up the names...

3.0 = kilauea
3.1 = vesuvio

Philippe explained a while ago:
"There are also two special branches:

magma = development branch for the new major release still based on the
current core technology (currently inactive, next will head us to 3.2).

fusion = experimental branch totally departing from the current core
technology."

Best regards,
