Due to large changes between version 2.5 and 3.0 is update not possible. The whole system was rebuild becouse of new integration FanGate.
So finish your current contest with old version and start new one with version 3.0
If you use your own old language file do not forget add latest lines from original language.php. Open original language.php and find line // VERSION 3.0 and copy all lines bellow
