3.0.1: Security and bug fixes

Discourse 3.0.1 Stable Release

Discourse strongly recommends that all sites follow the default tests-passed branch of Discourse. The “stable” branch is more focused on lack of change than lack of bugs - all releases, including those on tests-passed and beta are production ready.
