First KnowledgeTree 3.0 release candidate

Woo, only two weeks to go. The release candidate release was the smoothest so far - our time-estimation and scoping seem to be improving. Besides the feature adding and bug fixing, Brad found a great icon set that now pervades the KnowledgeTree experience (and also made some graphics for the Windows Installer, which looks quite cool, if you can get over that whole Windows thing). To get an idea of how busy we've been, inside's a look at the issues closed for 3.0b4 and 3.0rc1.
