I have been using SA3 since it released.  3.0.1 has much better memory
management than 3.0.0, but I am still seeing SIGCHILD issues.  Not sure
if it's what you would call 'stable' yet, but it works for me.

And also bayes db format - see the UPGRADE instructions for details, but
basically, if you want to retain all of your bayes info, you have to
dump it out and add it back in.  Blech.

Trivial.  Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, add a line for unstable.  apt-get
update; apt-get install spamassassin.  Edit /etc/apt/sources.list,
remove line for unstable.  apt-get update.

Or wait a week or so - the rc bugs are closed, and it will move into
testing relatively shortly.
