PySyft 0.3.0 Release Notes

Welcome to the next evolution of PySyft. Today we're releasing PySyft 0.3.0, which is a complete rewrite over the 0.2.x product line. Since this is a complete rewrite of the codebase, we strongly suggest that you use 0.3.0 if you're just getting started with PySyft. If you're an existing user of PySyft 0.2.x, there will still be some support for that product line but we encourage you to upgrade. As always, we are happy to assist in this process over Slack.

For those interested in trying out PySyft 0.3.0, [we suggest you start with our "Duet" series of demos](https://duet.openmined.org). All future releases will include a detailed breakdown of breaking changes, fixes, bug patches, and improvements.
