Jello Dashboard 3.0 beta

Finally, I’m done with some speed fixes and other minor bugs including some of your requests and the 3rd version of the Jello.Dashboard is almost ready.

It’s a beta for two reasons. The first one is that I wasn’t able to fully grant your wishes (some of them still not possible to do) and the second one is that it will need some testing due to some querying technology changes for speed. So please report any bug you may find.

Documentation is still incomplete, but all new setting descriptions have been updated.

I also re-packed an hta (web application) standalone version.
