Offered for download where?
I just checked www.gnucash.org <http://www.gnucash.org/> and got Gnucash-Intel-3.1-2.dmg with the correct sha256 hash.
The hash is indeed changed from the one below, I had to re-bundle GnuCash with a corrected environment file as I announced last night (with the new sha256) and the sha256 has been updated on http://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml <http://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml>, the GitHub release note, and the SourceForge Readme.

John Ralls

>> Bug 792105 - Startup takes several minutes.
>> Bug 793461 - Transaction matcher window blank when importing QFX.
>> Bug 794767 - Dates default to 01/01/1970.

>> installation prefix is '/opt'.
>> Bug 794936 - 3.0 does not open previously saved sqlite3 files properly
>> - corrupted business data.
>> Bug 794941 - Both print icons export to pdf.
>> Bug 794953 - Ellipsize on short tab labels.
>> Correct error on when to ellipsize tab labels. Also as this is
>> used in two places separate out this to new function so it is not
>> duplicated.
>> Bug 794990 - Double click does not work on saved reports.
>> When you double click on the saved report description nothing
>> happens. This was down to a conflict on a couple of call backs and one of
>> them was incorrectly setup.
>> Bug 794994 - Display Alphavantage key in full.
>> Set the entry to expand so all the space is used to display.
>> Bug 795031 - 3.0 Crashes on loading when opening 2.6.19 file.
>> Bug 795039 - Crash on startup using Technicolor Style sheet in report.
>> Bug 795040 - GnuCash crashes when searching for a newly created bill.
>> Bug 795049 - GnuCash 2.6.20-1 (Fedora Linux package) is unable to open
>> MariaDB.
>> Bug 795064 - Enable subtotal-only if either sortkeys are dates.
>> This will allow 'show subtotals only' if sortkeys are date-types.
>> This allows, for example, prime-sortkey=date, yearly. sec-sortkey=date,

>> Bug 795068 - src/optional/python-bindings missing several files.
>> Bug 795080 - Some dates reset to 01/01/1970.
>> An odd corner case: BST apparently came off of DST at 23:00 26 Oct

>> Bug 795101 - Scrollbar floats and covers toggle buttons.
>> When the scrollbar appears for the reconcile windows it can float

>> Bug 795389 - Hard to see figures in the budget window
>> The budget view had hard coded black for normal values and dark

>> Bug 795405 - All Dates in Price Database Off-By-One After 3.0 Upgrade
>> Bug 795446 - On Windows there is a blank tip of the day
>> When the tip_of_the_day.list is created a new line is appended to

>> Bug 795471 - Budget window scrolls edited cell out of site
>> When editing cells that have been revealed on the right by
>> scrolling the window snaps back to the left hiding the cell being edited.

>>
>> The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:
>>
>> * On Windows the tooltip for saved reports was incorrect
>> * When the mouse was placed over a saved report description on Windows
>> an empty tooltip was displayed. Setup the query tooltip callback so it does
>> not display a tooltip for description column.
>> * Fix crash when loading sql book with posted transactions.
>> * Add ability to recognize and use a pre-compiled libgmock.so.
>> * html-font: add default font family
>> Windows ships with GTK2 in which the default font styles are named
>> "Sans" "Sans Bold" "Sans Normal" etc. There is no "Sans" font in Windows; I
>> vote to add a default "Sans-Serif" font-family which is valid CSS. This
>> ensures exported reports are shown as intended.
>> * Several improvements to the Transaction and GST reports.
>> * csv-impport - Allow empty amount fields
>> * Treat empty amount fields as 0. This is necessary for example in the
>> case the csv import file has both a deposit and a withdrawal column.
>> * Remove the set transient parent setting for Reconcile window
>> * The Reconcile option is already a window so it is not necessary to

>> * Set GNC_VCS at build time instead of when making the tarball.
