3.1 soon?

Seemed like I had just gotten the 2.3 ISOs (hadn't had time to install) when 3.0 arrived.
But I guess it was about 10 months between these releases.  
It's not their fault I'm slow.  :)

Is there a changelog?  
Or some sort of summary of all these nifty new features and improvements?

I had problems with my 2.3 install.  
I ended up manually adding RPMs, tracing dependencies, etc.  
Yuck.  
I guess having apt-get (or similar) at my disposal would have helped.  
Though using it over dial-up is sure to be thrilling.  
I don't know what's not in 3.1 that I'd want.  
(Better handling of installer errors might be nice, so it doesn't just bail out.)  
I'm hoping to set up a box for full-time regular desktop use.  
So far (since 2.1) I've just been putzing around, trying to learn stuff.
