It's kind of sad that this project has become so dead that an update to a dev build is news worthy.
Not sure I subscribe to the idea that ST is "dead". The base editor is stable enough for day to day use ("dev" build be damned) and all the extra functionality (i.e. new features) is provided by plugins anyways. ST could never see another update and would remain a competitive editor for daily use due to its plugin ecosystem.
Anyone have a clue as to what were supposed to be able to do with this "Windows: Added command line helper, subl.exe". I'm guessing it's mainly for a shorter exe name to add to your path when launching sublime from the command line, but maybe I'm missing something?
IT's nothing new - sublime text 2 (at least on OS X) had the "subl" command so you could launch an edit session from the cli.. I assumed the rest had the same.
It's certainly not a new feature or anything to celebrate.
In 2002 the investors behind Blender launched the "Free Blender" campaign. They asked for 100,000 EUR as a one-time fee for open sourcing it. At the time the project was dying as a proprietary product. The investors got the money and today Blender is a healthy open source project.
I would love to see something similar with Sublime Text. The author seems uninterested in continuing with its development while many users want to see it moving forward. I believe it can raise much more money than Blender at the time.

I wouldn't consider ST3 to be stable or usable under Linux since it just wrecks file permissions.

Neither do the Sublime Text developers; even the main release of Sublime Text 3 is listed as beta, and the download link on the front page of their website is still Sublime Text 2.
Please note that this is a dev build of Sublime Text 3. You can only get it by manually downloading or checking for updates using a dev build. The most recent stable build of ST3 is from December of 2013.[1] Dev builds are alpha-quality and generally unsuitable for everyday use. The current build will change permissions on any file you save.[2] 1. http://www.sublimetext.com/3 2. http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewt…
Which I assume, will be released in 6 to 36 months. Yay!

But do they still update the stable version of ST2? From what I gather "beta" is his way of describing the fact that he's actively developing it
