The release is done but I am experiencing a road bump with the screenshots job: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-docs-modeler-screenshots/actions/runs/12276143577
I am closing the issue so that we have one for v5.31.0, but will investigate the screenshots in the meantime. It can also be fixed next week (not urgent).
