Shutter 3.1 released!

After years of no major releases Shutter 3.1 finally brings a completely new design of the application and a much improved workflow with an ability to monitor any number of events and execute any number of actions. The set of available events and actions has been greatly expanded and improved, plus, the much desired "Protection" feature was added which can prevent unauthorized access to Shutter.
