GLASS 1.0-beta.8.7.3
GemStone 3.1.0.1 ships with GLASS 1.0-beta.8.7.2 pre-installed in $GEMSTONE/bin/extent0.seaside.dbf, but there are a few minor issues that show up as test failures. GLASS 1.0-beta.8.7.3 has been released to address those issues.
You should update to GLASS 1.0-.8.7.3 when you start using GemStone 3.1.0.1.

Seaside3.0.7.1
Seaside 3.0.7.1 should be used with GemStone/S 3.1.x. There are a few critical bug fixes included in that version.
Download and Installation
You can download the binaries from ftp://ftp.gemstone.com/pub/GemStone64/3.1.0.1, use the installGemStone.sh script to download and install GemStone/S on your machine (highly recommended), or visit seaside.gemstone.com downloads page.
To use the installGemStone.sh script, your supply the GemStone version number as an argument to the script. The following downloads and installs the GemStone/S 3.1.0.1 release:
./installGemstone.sh 3.1.0.1
Upgrading
If you are upgrading from GemStone/S 2.x, then be sure to read my post on GemStone/S 3.1.0 first.
If you are upgrading from GemStone/S 2.x or GemStone/S 3.1.0, you still need to run through the upgrade process described in the Install Guide for (Linux or Max).
Helper Scripts for Upgrade of Seaside 3.0.7.1
Let’s say that you’ve got Seaside 3.0.7.1 installed in your GemStone/S 3.1.0 repository. According to the upgrade instructions you will need to define the BootstrapApplicationLoadSpecs for your application. For Seaside 3.0.7.1, that means you’ll run the following topaz script BEFORE running the upgradeSeasideImage.sh script:
The important bits are that you are specifying GLASS 1.0-beta.8.7.3 and specifying the <path to seaside cache repository>. The seaside cache repository is a directory on your machine where you’ve stashed all of the mcz files needed to reload Seaside 3.0.7.1 into your upgraded repository. You can use the following script to create the seaside cache repository:
Finally, as noted in Issue 354, you need to reload the ConfigurationOfGLASS and ConfgurationOfSeaside30:
