3.0 Alpha Released

I've just finished releasing version 3.0 alpha of Privateye. This release is rather bare-bones and lacks some of Privateye 2.2's flashier components, but that will come with the 3.0 beta and full releases.

This release showcases a complete overhaul of Privateye's codebase and a migration from PHP to C++. This migration should do only good things for Privateye. It will allow for faster processing and lower memory footprint, and eventually (around 3.5) threading support for handling multiple alerts simultaneously.

That's a good way in the future, though. Right now, the functionality is somewhat limited, and the documentation is a work in progress, to say the least. Definitely read the README and README.config files before you do anything. Even if you're familiar with 2.2's config format. Because it's all changed. For the better, I think.

As always, I'd welcome any comments or questions you might have. Drop me a line at gsconnell@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do.
