They've released iPhone/iPod Touch 3.1.3 and so far are still signing 3.1.2 (as of 2/2/10). This doesn't mean that tomorrow (2/3/10) they'll continue signing 3.1.2 shsh requests. We're getting close to another drought. We've been surviving in 'years of plenty' and the 'years of want' are coming.
Ok all biblical analogies aside. 3.1.3 firmware offers zero substantial value. All it does is close the holes that enabled 3.1.2 to be jailbroken. Please, warn your friends, neighbors anyone that will listen. Have them save their shsh on Cydia or if they have even a remote amount of technical savvy, download the firmware umbrella and save their own shsh files locally.
3.1.2's days are numbered... This is probably the best we'll have it for a very long time. (My guess is late summer if any 4.0 potential exploits survive...)
Incidentally, I'll have Umbrella/TinyTSS updated for 3.1.3 signatures soon. I'm in no hurry as 3.1.3 is worthless...
*DO NOT UPDATE TO 3.1.3 IF YOU HAVE ANY DESIRES OR NEAR-FUTURE DESIRES TO JAILBREAK*
(Even if you have your shsh saved, I still wouldn't mess with it...)
*UPDATE: If I'm not mistaken, 3.1.3 also has the added bonus of updating your baseband to 05.12.01.
This is HUGELY bad for folks relying on having an unlocked iPhone. This means that even if you have your shsh saved on Cydia or locally, there is nothing you can do to get your baseband back to an unlockable version if you update to 3.1.3 out of curiosity.
