Hi everybody! I've placed a beta of 3.0.1 on files.eprints.org.

http://files.eprints.org/245/

It's probably fine, but it's Friday. Friday the 13th, no less. I've 
upgraded the server which runs demoprints3.eprints.org and 
files.eprints.org and all seems well, and it passed my basic testing 
harness.

It fixes a bunch of issues. Most notably it speeds up the indexer and 
sorts out the bugs in full text searching.

We may make another 3.0 series release, but don't plan to make a 
new-features release for some time. Please send any reports to the list 
+ive or -ive about this release. Thanks

Some of the fixes:

 * Fixed slow rendering of "profile" page.
 * Fixed bugs with editorial restrictions.
 * Cookie values are now randomised when you logout/login again.
 * Fixed bugs with full-text indexing.
 * Fixed speed problems in indexer.
 * Fixed incorrectly ordered subjects.
 * Improved some help text.
 * Added a few missing phrases.
 * Fixed some spelling mistakes.
 * epadmin now obeys groupid from SystemSettings
 * Upload component: if there is only one document, then it is ↵
"unrolled"
    in the interface - saves a click.
 * Only .xml files are now parsed in phrases directories.
 * Fixed bug with 404 pages coming back blank, some of the time.
 * Fixed bug where after removing a user you got taken to an undefined
    screen.
 * Added some better error reporting to XML import. Now spots and warns
    if you pass v2 XML to a v3 importer.
 * Improved invocation of external programs.
