Well,  it is fixed already in "cross-way" (not available for download yet).
So  3.0  either  as 3.1 clients will be able to connect to 3.0 and 3.1
servers both.

3.1  VClient  makes  decision  self  - which method should be used for
sending  passwords - depending on server version which it communicates
to.

3.1 VServer now has additional setting - UseOldPasswords.
So you are able to reject connections with "plain" passwords.

Please  note - originally it was security bug fixing with sending not-encrypted
passwords.  So  it should not be the option - plain or digest password
sending in the future.
