Hi eric, I've been wondering when someone was going to ask about that! :)

Yes, I've been working on v3 for the last while here and a new beta is nearly ready.

The new things are - completely overhauled PDF import to be more robust (previously some kinds of PDFs would get garbled), new Extrude to point and Extrude tapered options, new Isocurve command for building an isocurve along a surface, and a new Isocurve option for Trim to cut a surface by isocurve.

The last thing that I'm trying to get done is possibly using multiple CPU cores in the display engine, I've been experimenting with that the past couple of days and it will probably be a few more days yet before I'll see if that will actually yield anything good or not, once that is done then I'll be releasing a new v3 beta.
