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.
-August 2008, Privoxy 3.0.10 is released! There are not any major new features,

+This is a stable release, and marks a departure for Privoxy development.
-June 2008, Privoxy 3.0.9 beta is released. There are no major new features, but
-many improvements and refinements.
+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.
