Actually, AppleDOS v3.0 was never released.  The first version of
AppleDOS was v3.1.

I still have the original manual that came with v3.1 (Disk II Floppy
Disk Subsystem dated Sept 78) and it seems that ever v3.1 still had a
lot of problems.  In the Application Notes it lists some of the know
bugs.  My favorite is;

"18.  If a program is LOADed from disk into APPLESOFT (on the
APPLESOFT firmware card), and you execute PRINT FRE(0) in immediate
mode *before* you RUN the program, the APPLE goes bananas.  Best to
open the disk doors before you try this, as it can wipe out disks."

I guess things like this is why v3.2 came out shortly.

Does anyone know what the differences were between v3.1 and v3.2
(beside the bug fixes)?
