[CANCELLED] JMeter 3.1 RC1

[Milamber <mi...@apache.org>]

I've cancelled the 3.1 RC1 because some new images are missing from the 
docs directory and the intro.xml file have been deleted in xdocs but not 
in docs.
(I've forget to check the svn tree before tagging the rc branch)

I will start the RC2 now.
