Upgrading to this release is strongly recommended, as it solves many issues reported in the 0.3.1 release, implements new features, drops some dependencies and is easier to maintain.

    * Issue 206: Put the documentation at the root
    * Issue 242: Reverse the button ordering in the "remove watch" dialog
