+### 3.0.0 Anschluss
+- **Middle Proxy now is stable**, confirmed on canary-deploy over ~20 users
+- Ad-tag now is working
+- DC=203/CDN now is working over ME
+- `getProxyConfig` and `ProxySecret` are automated
+- Version order is now in format `3.0.0` - without Windows-style "microfixes"
+
+### 3.0.1 Kabelsammler
+- Handshake timeouts fixed
+- Connectivity logging refactored
+- Docker: tmpfs for ProxyConfig and ProxySecret
+- Public Host and Port in config
+- ME Relays Head-of-Line Blocking fixed
+- ME Ping
+
+### 3.0.2 Microtrencher
+- New [network] section
+- ME Fixes
+- Small bugs coverage
+
+### 3.0.3 Ausrutscher
+- ME as stateful, no conn-id migration
+- No `flush()` on datapath after RpcWriter
+- Hightech parser for IPv6 without regexp
+- `nat_probe = true` by default
+- Timeout for `recv()` in STUN-client
+- ConnRegistry review
+- Dualstack emergency reconnect
+
+### 3.0.4 Schneeflecken
+- Only WARN and Links in Normal log
+- Consistent IP-family detection
+- Includes for config
+- `nonce_frame_hex` in log only with `DEBUG`
