-NEWS! November 2006, Privoxy 3.0.6 stable is released. This is a significant
-upgrade with many new and enhanced features, and many bugs fixed.
+This is a stable release, and marks a departure for Privoxy development.

 
 

-There was and will not be an official 3.0.4 release. This release cycle was
-used to gather our thoughts, play with some new ideas and refine some old ones.
-It will remain a development cycle with no actual release. 3.0.5 is the fruit
-of these efforts.
+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.
