So is it a lie? I hope that if there was a version 3, well.

No, there is no lie. You’ve found your way to the Scrivener for Windows main board to get to this board. If you glanced down you would see the Beta board with everything you need to know about the beta program, including download links. It’s been there since 2017.

If you read it you will see L&L are close to release of the full version. Meanwhile the RC21 beta works just like a full release program. We just haven’t been asked to pay yet (those of us who purchased before the free cutoff of Nov 2017).

And as above, the 2.9 identifier is just so they tick over to 3.0 on the full release.

I understand what you are saying, but the name (version number it has been given) is 2.9xxxxx, so that is what it is called.

This actually confused me for a while because I was looking for Beta 3, but there is no Beta 3 file - at least none that I can see or could find - and that was a waste of my time.

Any other beta software that I have tested/tried to find , has been clearly identified by the name/title/number it has been given.

We call it “the beta” or RC21. I don’t recall anyone saying “2.9” when they mean the beta.

It may be slightly hard to find, but if you do find it, I’m pretty sure you’d only find it in posts that say Scrivener 3 beta. It’s not hidden.
