@afabiani

I've created a new RTD version from latest tag 3.0. Further changed geonode.org files to point to this new release. Last but not least I've created a new blog post which I'm attaching here for your convenience. Hope I did not forget something ...

Thanks @t-book . Actually there are so many news for GN 3.0.

Some that come to my mind:

• Python upgrade
• Django upgrade
• drop of GeoExt, with MapStore client as the new official one
• B/R refactoring with new features that make it able to be used for syncing instances (see docs)
• Read-Only and Mantenance modes
• GeoLimits
