Here is the list of Bug fixes:

v3.0.0
======

IMPORTANT CHANGES

* Firefox is only fully supported at version 47.0.1 or earlier. Support
  for later versions of firefox is provided by geckodriver, which is
  based on the evolving W3C WebDriver spec, and uses the wire protocol
  in that spec, which is liable to change without notice.
* You may wish to choose an ESR release such as 45.4.0esr or earlier.
* Firefox 47.0.0 is not supported at all.

Other major changes:

* Stability fixes in Grid.
* All Grid nodes can now offer help.
* Updated to the latest version of HtmlUnitDriver.
* Re-enabled log gathering for the standalone server.
* Firefox profile is passed to both the legacy FirefoxDriver and
  geckodriver.

v3.0.0-beta4
============

IMPORTANT CHANGES

* Firefox is only fully supported at version 47.0.1 or earlier. Support
  for later versions of firefox is provided by geckodriver, which is
  based on the evolving W3C WebDriver spec, and uses the wire protocol
  in that spec, which is liable to change without notice.
* You may wish to choose an ESR release such as 45.4.0esr or earlier.
* Firefox 47.0.0 is not supported at all.

Other major changes:

* Remove OSS safaridriver in preference for Apple's own SafariDriver
  that ships as part of Safari 10.
* [Grid] -nodeConfig (json) files have a new flatter format (#2789)
* [Grid] Fix #2721, -nodeConfig (json) settings were not always
  applied
* [Grid] Cleanup the api for RegistrationRequest -- will break
  compilation for people moving from 2.x -- removed the ability to
  change the GridNodeConfiguration reference via the
  RegistrationRequest object and removed all other setters
* Include the selenium version in exceptions (again).
* [HTML suite runner] Better flag compatibility with the 2.x
  selenium-server-standalone.
* Fix #2727, combine -jettyThreads and -jettyMaxThreads (#2735)
* [atoms] Cleaning up getAttribute dependencies, reducing size from
  36K to 7K
* Better support for the W3C webdriver wire codec.
* Added ability to use FirefoxOptions when starting firefox.
* Fixed a bug where the firefox profile was not being passed to the
  geckodriver.
* SafariDriver's Technology Preview can be used if installed.

v3.0.0-beta3
============

* The HTML table runner can be downloaded as selenium-html-runner.jar.
* leg-rc jar is no longer bundled into the main selenium jar. Instead,
  it needs to be downloaded separately.
* Removed deprecated SessionNotFoundException in favour of the
  NoSuchSessionException.
* Added a "protocol handshake" on starting a remote webdriver. We now
  log the wire dialect spoken (original as "OSS" and the version
  tracking the W3C spec as "W3C"). This may result in multiple calls
  to the new session endpoint on local end start up.
* Removed command names ending with "*w3c" and instead handle this
  with different codecs.
* Switch to using atoms for 'getAttribute' and 'isDisplayed' when
  communicating with a W3C remote end.

v3.0.0-beta2
============

* maven packaging fixes
* Update GeckoDriver --port argument in all bindings
* System property webdriver.firefox.marionette now forces the server in marionette or legacy firefox driver mode, ignoring any related Desired Capability
* Grid fix NPE's on registration when -browser not specified

v3.0.0-beta1
============

IMPORTANT CHANGES

* Minimum java version is now 8+
* The original RC APIs are only available via the leg-rc package.
* To run exported IDE tests, ensure that the leg-rc package is on the
  classpath.
* Support for Firefox is via Mozilla's geckodriver. You may download
  this from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
* Support for Safari is provided on macOS (Sierra or later) via
  Apple's own safaridriver.
* Support for Edge is provided by MS:
  https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/
* Official support for IE requires version 9 or above. Earlier
  versions may work, but are no longer supported as MS has
  end-of-lifed them.

Other major changes:

* New html-table runner backed by WebDriver.
* Unused command line arguments are now no longer parsed.
