You were mis-reading what I meant. I know it is supposed to complain 
when I  use 3.1.1 , my point was the messages said I should ONLY use 
3.0.0 when in fact I can and have used 3.0.2 without the version trap 
being triggered.

So what is the REAL condition which needs to be satisfied and which is 
tested for ?

Is it any 3.0.x , or any 3.0.x where x is even?

Or is the trap incorrectly letting 3.0.2 through.

I suspect the message text is wrong. I was trying to bring that to the 
attention of someone why may fix it if needed and seek clarification on 
what is supported.
