No, there's nothing new. Someone posted the link to Sublime Text homepage and many people upvoted it when seeing the title, without first verifying the link pointed to an actual release. So it ended up getting a lot of upvotes. The homepage links to ST3 as the default version to download, as it has for a few weeks/months now, that's not new. ST3 is still described as beta. The last release was on May 12.
