v0.3.6

New maintainers

A new team has adopted and forked the Freight project as it wasn't actively maintained. We're happy to announce v0.3.6 as the first freight-team release.

Please take note of the new Debian repository address and GPG key if upgrading, see Installing from a Debian archive for instructions.

New contributors and patches are welcome, please send pull requests to the freight-team GitHub fork. An IRC channel is also now available on the Freenode network at #freight.
