Auction! V3 Release Notes

"Release Notes" are the changes and problems noted associated with each specific version of software, as well as improvements and new features.  Many organizations choose to withhold this information.  While it's no fun admitting mistakes, we think it's more important to be candid with our customers.

These are OLDER notes, retained for completeness.
