releasing Subsurface-mobile 3.0 on Android

[Dirk Hohndel]

Productive day here so far....

Please update to the latest beta (I fat fingered the first one, I mean
the one that identifies as 3.0.2 / 4.9.3.1258). You might like the
results :-)

That should work in the beta.

That should be fixed. I gave up on relying on QML to magically do the
thing its documentation says it does, and instead created a separate
visual element outside of the ListView for the filter header. This
works on all devices that I tested it on. Reliably.

Also fixed in the beta.

Also fixed in the beta.


I would LOVE to see more people test the 3.0.2/4.9.3.1258 (or later)
betas, so I can make another release which addresses these issues.

(of course, Apple hasn't even released 3.0.1, yet...)
