-Proof General 3.0 is currently in final testing, and will be released
-in a small number of days.  Please help me with this by testing the
-current <a href="devel.phtml">pre-release</a>, so I can iron out as
-many bugs as possible before making the release.  It's very easy to
-install or upgrade Proof General, so it shouldn't be much effort to
-test it quickly.  Particularly if you're already running an earlier
-version.
-</p>
-<li><b>16th November 1999</b><br>
-<p>
-New!  With Proof General 3.0, adapting to a new prover is easier
-than ever before!
-It includes an 
- <?php fileshow("ProofGeneral/demoisa/demoisa-easy.el", "example instance ");?>
-of Proof General for Isabelle, which 
-configures the main core of the interface with less than 30 lines of
-code.  Not bad for getting about 4000 lines worth of code in benefit!
-</p>
-<li><b>9th November 1999</b><br>
-<p>
-Isabelle 99 was released last week, and Proof General 3.0 should
-be ready for release in the next week or so.  In
-the meantime, please use the current 
-<a href="devel.phtml">pre-release</a>
-for Isabelle 99.
+Proof General 3.0 is released!
 </p>
+</ul>
 <p>
-Some recent changes have been made to the support for
-<a href="http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/x-symbol/">X-Symbol</a>,
-so that it is easier to turn on and off, and support is now
-properly generic.  At the moment only Isabelle has 
-support implemented.

-<li><b>21st October 1999</b><br>
- <p>
- See what Proof General 3.0 will look like!
- The <a href="screenshot.phtml">screenshot</a> has been updated.
- </p>
-<li><b>14th October 1999</b><br>
- <p>
- The next version of Proof General will be 3.0.
- </p>
- <p>
- There have been significant changes to the core of 
- Proof General and many improvements in the code.
- Extra features have been added, and the ones already
- there improved upon.  Usability has been a particular
- focus.  Adding new provers has been made easier.
- Installation will be made even easier.
- All of these changes warrant moving to a major release!
- </p>
- <p>
- Version 3.0 is planned for release in November.
- Please test a Version 3.0 pre-release if you can
- and report any problems.
- </p>
-<li><b>12th October 1999</b><br>
- <p>
- I'm very grateful to 
- <a href="mailto:courtieu@lri.fr">Pierre Courtieu &lt;courtieu@lri.fr&gt;</a>
- for offering to help work on Coq Proof General.
- <br>
- If anyone else in the Coq community would like to assist, please
- offer still, 
- there is plenty to do to add: better recognition of proof scripts,
- multiple file management, proof by pointing, etc...
- </p>
-<li><b>1st October 1999</b><br>
- <p>
- Recently there has been a flurry of work on the next version of Proof
- General.  It has quite a number of improvements (see the <?php
- fileshow("ProofGeneral/CHANGES","CHANGES"); ?> file), made by myself
- and Markus Wenzel.  <br> The next version is aimed to coincide 
- roughly with the release of Isabelle 99.
- </p>
- <p>
- At the moment we <b>urgently need</b> somebody from the Coq world to
- maintain and improve Coq Proof General, since Patrick Loiseleur 
- can no longer work on it.  
- Support from the Coq community is vital for Proof General to
- be a useful tool there. <a href="feedback.phtml">Please offer to help</a>, 
- it needn't be a heavy commitment.
- </p>
-<li><b>13th September 1999</b><br>
- <p>
- I've just returned from the 
- <a href="http://www-sop.inria.fr/types-project/types-sum-school.html">Types Summer School, Giens, France</a>
- where Proof General was used for a class of
- about 50 students who were learning
- Coq, Isabelle, and LEGO.  I received
- many useful comments and feedback,
- which will be
- used to improve the next version.
- Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions and bug reports
- to me, including: 
- Michael Abbott,
- Bernd Grobauer,
- Sebastian Skalberg,
- Thierry Massart,
- Darmalingum Muthiayen.

- of publicity shots of Proof General!
- </p>
-<li><b>24th August 1999</b><br>
- <p>
- Proof General version 2.1 is released.
- <br>
-  Check the <?php fileshow("ProofGeneral-2.1/CHANGES","CHANGES"); ?> file
-  for a summary of changes since Proof General 2.0.
- </p>
- <p>
-  It is recommended that all users upgrade except
-  those still using Isabelle 98-1.  
-  <br> 
-  Proof General 2.1 supports only the 99 version of Isabelle.
- </p>

-
-<li><b>24th June 1999</b><br>
-  <p>
-  New Proof General web pages go live!
-  </p>
-  <p>
-  The general is now more serious looking.
-  Appropriate, because there are some serious improvements 
-  in the pipeline...
-  Before that, we will release Proof General 2.1,
-  mainly a bug-fix improvement of 2.0.
-  </p>
-  <p>
-  Please explore the new web pages and report any problems 
-  or suggestions to <?php project_email() ?>.
-  Please also try out the latest pre-release of Proof General,
-  this is the final chance to get fixes and tweaks
-  sorted before 2.1.
-  </p>

-  for 
-  <a href="http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dcs7ttg/plastic.html">Plastic</a>,
-  a new proof assistant based on
-  Luo's Typed Logical Framework and
-  implemented in Haskell.

-<li><b>16th April 1999</b><br>
-  <p>A new instantiation of Proof General has been added by
-  <a href="http://www.in.tum.de/~wenzelm/">Markus Wenzel</a>
