3.0                                         (2012-10-04)
  * Since version 2.x:
    * 1,455 new active rulesets
    * UI improvements: 
      - right-click to view ruleset source in the config window
      - translate some untranslated menus
      - better icons in a few places (breaking/redirecting rules,
        context button)
    * Numerous improvements to the SSL Observatory internals, including cached
      submissions on hostile networks, better Tor and Convergence integration,
      and a new setting to control self-signed cert submission
    * New translations: Basque, Czech, Danish, French, Greek, Hungarian,
                        Italian, Korean, Malaysian, Polish, Slovak, Turkish,
                        Traditional Chinese
  * Relative to 3.0development.8:
    * Only promote the Decentralized SSL Observatory to 5% of non-Tor users
    * Update the SSL Observatory whitelist of common cert chains
    * Fixes, mostly in the CDN/media playback department: 
             Akamai/CNN, GO.com/ABC, AWS/Amazon Zeitgeist MP3 player,
             AWS/Spiegel.tv, Technology Review, Cloudfront/Tunein,
             Akamai/Discovery Channel, Beyond Security, OCaml, Gentoo,
             Nokia, Widgetbox.com, Squarespace

             https://mail1.eff.org/pipermail/https-everywhere-rules/2012-October/001324.html
    * Disable buggy: Web.de, AJC.com, Feross, Bestofmedia
    * Remove a lot of off-by-default rulesets from the code, since they have
      some costs in terms of startup speed and RAM usage
