Azureus 3.0.2.0 Released !

Azureus 3.0.2.0 brings the version numbering back into line and should reduce confusion over which 2.x version maps to which 3.x version. Existing 2.x users will get the classic UI, while new and existing 3.x users will get the Vuze client UI, with the option to switch back to the 2.x UI if you choose.
