-NEWS! January 2008, Privoxy 3.0.8 stable is released. This is a significant
-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"
-section and the "Upgrader's Notes" in the User Manual for details and

+This is a stable release, and marks a departure for Privoxy development.
 
-December 2007, Privoxy 3.0.7 is released. This is a beta release in preparation
-for the forthcoming 3.0.8 release.
+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.
