Version 0.3-beta3

• [FIX] Updating instances (stats2 API update?)

Version 0.3-beta1

NOTE: Settings/profiles from older versions of Searx-Qt will not work because those versions store non-mutable objects and are hard to migrate. Therefore you should delete your old config directory (possible at ~/.config/CYBERDEViL/searx-qt, depending on your GNU/Linux distro). For future versions of Searx-Qt config migration code should be no problem to implement.
