What is new in LinkLiar 3.0.3

After having tested out version 3 betas for some time now, I feel confident to officially release `3.0.3`.

# 3.0.3

* [BUGFIX] Make sure only allowed prefixes are ever in use when checking for re-randomization.

# 3.0.2

* [BUGFIX] Specifying a manual address as default now affects the interfaces that should use the default
* [BUGFIX] Properly disable/enable submenus if config file cannot be found/written

# 3.0.1 (beta)

* [BREAKING] Daemon executable directory moved from
 `/Library/Application Support/LinkDaemon`
 to
 `/Library/Application Support/io.github.halo.linkdaemon`
 as this is more future-proof.
* [USABILITY] Hide "Prefixes" submenu and reveal it only when holding the option key. I think it's only for advanced users.
* [DOCUMENTATION] Updated most images
* [DOCUMENTATION] Add Airpass to list of alternative apps
* [DOCUMENTATION] Make the background dark
* [DOCUMENTATION] Add section about prefix configuration

# 3.0.0 (alpha)

* [BREAKING] Configuration directory moved from
 `/Library/Application Support/LinkLiar/`
 to
 `/Library/Application Support/io.github.halo.LinkLiar`
 as this is more future-proof and I think the way Apple wants it.

* [FEATURE] Choose among vendors (and custom prefixes) to be used when randomizing MAC addresses #27
* [FEATURE] Do not show leakage icon for ignored interfaces #38
* [FEATURE] Show which MAC address was specified by default
