Update:
This issue is now resolved and we have now added a new "CB 1.3.1-R1.0" version to BukkitDev. Please proceed to use this instead, thanks for your patience and understanding in this matter!
Despite having promoted our first Recommended Build for Minecraft 1.3.1, we are currently having technical difficulties adding a new corresponding CraftBukkit 1.3.1-R1.0 version to BukkitDev.
Temporary Solution:
As a result, we ask that Plugin Developers please use the "1.3.1" version instead as a temporary solution until we are able to add a proper version.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter and thank you for continuing to use Bukkit for developing your awesome plugins!

BukkitDev is the missing link in the project management chain prevalent in the Minecraft community. The popular solution of making use of forum software - something designed specifically for single-threaded discussion - leaves developers painfully scavenging through threads made up of hundreds of pages simply to get to that one bug report you finally addressed. It is all very tedious and time-consuming; time lost that could be better spent doing what you love - bringing to life those mad, awesome ideas you have running around in your head. With BukkitDev, each project has their own mini-community and tools that developers are free to moderate and make use of; per-project issue trackers and forums are just a few of the advantages BukkitDev has over using a traditional forum based solution.
As detailed below, BukkitDev provides you with a complete project management solution that makes maintaining and updating your project a breeze. While many of the things BukkitDev has to offer were what we planned Fill to eventually be, there is no way we would be able to achieve the level of maturity and polish that BukkitDev currently has without the support and backing we now have from Curse. Moving forward, with the support of Curse, we are able to provide the community with some much-needed resources and support that we simply could not do alone. Thanks to Curse's support, we can now confidently provide stable, long lasting download hosting to every project within the community and since this takes advantage of the extensive and powerful Curse.com distribution platform, the reach and exposure your projects have will increase significantly.

Issue Tracker:
Per-project forums and pages:
Other improvements over our current implementation for plugin releases:
- Multiple authors per project with permissions handling (for example, you can have a Project Manager, Project Owner, Documenter, Translator, etc).
- Per-project subscriptions so people interested in your project can follow its progress.
- Curse provided hosting for your downloads
- Extra exposure through Curse.com, a high traffic content hub for Minecraft, as well as other games.
