Getting really close… Fidus Writer 3.0.0 rc1 released!

After a week of heavy testing by all of you, we finally getting there. Bug reports have gone down extremely fast after the first few fixes, and a lot of this is about people trying to upload things that shouldn’t be uploaded, etc. . We should probably expect a final version 3.0.0 to be released within the coming days. There is already a new 3.1 branch for features that did not make it into version 3.0.0.
