3.1.2 includes a large number of bug fixes and documentation updates.
Here is an abbreviated changelog (since 3.1.1) for major updates (see
the Changes file for a complete list):

- bug 4802: implement DKIM plugin, including whitelist_from_dkim support
- bug 3838: work around Perl bug causing captured RE variables to become
  tainted -- thanks to Mark Martinec for pointing out the bug with
  Perl itself
- bug 4850: re-enable the Razor2 plugin by default due to a service
  policy change
- bug 4826: Razor2 plugin needs to load Mail::SpamAssassin::Timeout module
- bug 4827: M::SA::first_existing_path() would return the last array
  entry passed in if none of the paths were found.  Now return undef
  instead and handle the error when it happens.
- bug 4813: generally open RE causes sendmail received header get read
  in as qmail in error
- bug 4839: Logger.pm converts control chars including tab into
  underscores which confuses a bunch of users when checking debug output.
  Convert tab into space instead, etc.
- bug 4884: if a null message is passed in, there are several variables
  which end up undefined causing warnings.  fake an empty message if no
  input is given.
- bug 4793: when replacing tags in a message (_TAG_), leave the tags
  that don't exist alone instead of just removing them
- bug 4861, 4760: handle dccifd and dccproc failover properly, backport
  relays_internal and relays_external code, backport bug 4760 fix so
  that it's not possible to be in internal_networks without being in
  trusted_networks as well
- bug 4901: deal more properly with failures in bgsend().  also, use
  the proper variable to show when errors occur.
- bug 4867: fetchmail changed header formats at some point making Received
  parsing fail in certain conditions
- bug 4699: use M::SA::Timeout for spamd copy_config call and allow for
empty $@ values - bug 3754: if there's a problem opening a file via
sa-learn or
  spamassassin, return an error exit value.
