Announcing Falco 0.3.0

Falco 0.3.0 introduces significant enhancements, primarily aimed at reducing CPU usage through various optimizations such as reordering rule condition operators, implementing set membership tests, avoiding unnecessary string manipulations, utilizing efficient string comparison operators, and grouping rules by event type. These changes lead to improved performance when compared to the previous version, as demonstrated in tests like Phoronix's pts/apache and pts/dbench, Sysdig Cloud Kubernetes Demo, and Juttle-engine examples. Additionally, the release introduces a new output type, "program," which allows formatted events to trigger program executions, such as sending emails for each notification, and includes the capability to handle all events, even those flagged with EF_DROP_FALCO, to enhance overall functionality. The update is accessible through standard distribution channels, and users are encouraged to review the changelog for a comprehensive list of modifications.
