-but many improvements and refinements. As usual there are changes that effect
-the configuration. See the "ChangeLog", and the "What's New" section and the
-"Upgrader's Notes" in the User Manual for details and specifics.
+Privoxy is between releases. The current code base should be considered
+development quality. Please report any problems to the developers.
 
-June 2008, Privoxy 3.0.9 beta is released. There are no major new features, but
-many improvements and refinements.

-upgrade with many new and enhanced features, and many bugs fixed. All Privoxy
-users are encouraged to upgrade. See the "ChangeLog", and the "What's New"

-December 2007, Privoxy 3.0.7 is released. This is a beta release in preparation
-for the forthcoming 3.0.8 release.
+This is a stable release, and marks a departure for Privoxy development.
+
+Previously, odd numbered releases were considered beta versions and were only
+released at the end of the development cycle when the code was already believed
+to be stable. Usually it was, so the stable release contained pretty much the
+same code, but got a higher version number. In the future we intend to release
+several snapshots between stable releases. There will probably still be about
+two stable releases per year, but hopefully about six snapshots instead of the
+two betas we have now. The intentions is to make testing without CVS access
+easier.
