No, still beta

"Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta. The latest build is 3114."

Are you hitting a different CDN box to me? In Australia, the text under the download box on the front page says "Sublime Text 3, Build 3114, 64 bit". Screenshot is still of v2.

The about Sublime Text box on the installed editor says "Stable Channel, Build 3114".

Just searched for the word "beta" in home page and got 0 results... where does the quoted sentence come from?

It's the first sentence at https://www.sublimetext.com/3

They feature version 3 on homepage now.

In addition to screenshot of version 2, in an impressive display of consistency :D

This has been the case for a few weeks now. It did not change just recently.

And this is important because existing Sublime Text licenses are only valid for the beta. When 3 exits beta then everyone will have to buy the upgrade.

Not true. They have been selling Sublime Text 3 licenses for a while.

"A license is valid for Sublime Text 3, and includes all point updates, as well as access to prior versions (e.g., Sublime Text 2). Future major versions, such as Sublime Text 4, will be a paid upgrade."

That's interesting, when did it change? There's no upgrade pricing available (yet?) and my ST2 licence still works.

If you bought ST2 license before the release of ST3 beta, I think you might need to pay for an upgrade once the final version 3 is released.

At some point during the beta release, they started selling ST3 license instead of ST2 licenses.
