Metasploit Framework 3.0 Beta 3 (SVN)

[hdm at metasploit.com (H D Moore)]

Hi everyone,

I am happy to announce that the third beta release of version 3.0 of the 
Metasploit Framework is now available for download. This release includes 
numerous bug fixes and feature enhancements since Beta 2. 

Windows users should upgrade ASAP, as the entire console interface has 
been overhauled to provide a more Unix-like experience. The Windows 
installer now includes all of the Rails dependencies that are required to 
use the new MSFWeb. 

If you would like to discuss the beta release with other users 
please subscribe to the framework-beta mailing list by sending a blank 
email to framework-beta-subscribe[at]metasploit.com. Please keep all 
replies related to the beta release off of the main framework 
mailing list in order to spare the bandwidth of those not interested.
Downloads for all platforms can be found here:
 - http://metasploit.com/projects/Framework/msf3/#download

Unix users may need to install the openssl zlib and dl ruby modules for 
the Framework to load. If you are using Ubuntu you will need to run the 
following commands:
# apt-get install libzlib-ruby
# apt-get install libopenssl-ruby
# apt-get install libdl-ruby

User of other distributions or Unix flavors may want to grab the latest 
version of ruby from www.ruby-lang.org and build it from source. We highly 
recommend using Ruby version 1.8.4 or newer.Windows users will need to 
exit out of any running Cygwin-based applications before running the 
installer or using the Framework. The old 3.0 installation should be 
uninstalled prior to installing and using this version.

The release packages include Subversion repository information allowing to 
synchronize your Beta 3 installation with the live development tree. The  
Windows installer includes a "MSFUpdate" menu item that uses Subversion 
to download the latest updates.Unix users will need to install the 
Subversion client change into the framework directory and execute 'svn 
update'.

On Unix systems, Subversion will complain about the self-signed
