NuGet version 3.0+ is needed

My project is generating packages from Portable Class Libraries. There is a known bug in NuGet versions previous to 3.0 in which it's unable to extract the metadata (version, dependencies, author...) from PCLs. This is what I'm getting.

 52 Attempting to build package from 'Glass.csproj'.
 53 Packing files from 'C:\projects\omnixaml\Source\Glass\bin\Debug'.
 54 WARNING: Unable to extract metadata from 'Glass.dll'.
 55 Using 'Glass.nuspec' for metadata.
 56 Successfully created package 'C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\h33lrj6iwm\Glass.1.0.nupkg'.
 57
 58 Attempting to build symbols package for 'Glass.csproj'.
 59 Packing files from 'C:\projects\omnixaml\Source\Glass\bin\Debug'.

This is my URL in AppVeyor for the project:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SuperJMN/omnixaml

You can locate NuGet.exe 3.0+ here: http://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v3.1.0-beta/nuget.exe (link is from http://blog.nuget.org/20150729/Introducing-nuget-uwp.html)

Please, update to this version or provide some workaround.
Thank you a lot!

   We'll deploy nuget 3.0 to VS 2015 images today.

   For now you can use this simple script to replace it with 3.0 during the build:

   Oh my... it seems that this beta 3.1 has recovered the same the bug! I'm tried to file an issue in the official NuGet 3 repo in GitHub, but it's close for issues right now. Anyways, I've already warned the people. I hope it gets fixed soon.

   Meanwhile, I've discovered a patched version without the bug, that can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/patsissons/nugetpclissue/raw/38fbf6c953292449e6765d3e0ce02ebfbef4832b/.nuget-patched/NuGet.exe

   You can always override it with something like:

   (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://bitbucket.org/patsissons/nugetpclissue/raw/38fbf6c953292449e6765d3e0ce02ebfbef4832b/.nuget-patched/NuGet.exe', 'C:\Tools\NuGet\NuGet.exe')
