Thanks for posting. Would you please update it to say Sketch 40 :) Sketch 4.0 is incorrect.
Hunter
arg sorry for the confusion!
I thought Sketch 4.0 was 'just an update' and not a major update in the 3.0 to 4.0 sense. As the blog told us: "There will be no grand launch of “Sketch 4.0” as such. Following on from the current Sketch 3.8, we will release version 39, and after that version 40, and so on." But that has been changed apparently....
Actually, no. They released version 40, not 4.0 as this post suggests.
That's right, but besides the naming convention it looks like Ben figured it was a substantial update instead of a small one (in the 38 to 39 sense).
I just bought Sketch 3.0 yesterday, does that mean I'll be missing out or will I receive this update?
You definitely get the update.
You'll get the update and any others for a year from purchase. Sketch recently changed their licensing, outlined here:
Is Sketch crashing upon load for anyone else after updating? :(

perfect update for everyone in the team.
Try unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
They're finally addressing my biggest issue with Sketch, which is horrible shape/layer selection and manipulation. Sometimes it makes me go insane for a couple seconds.
Fantastic update and I hope that the Sketch team works on vector editing for the next 10 versions as well 😁
It's slower after this update. Keep showing loading icon when performing a simple resizing.

It's the best prototyping tool I have used for web and app development.

Pros:

Made me rethink everything & allowed me to kill my CC subscription. SVG support is killer, & I've now moved all my vector files to svg

Cons:

Nothing worth quibbling over.

i would use it. Although it would be too expensive
I felt in love with this product, it's easy to use even if you're not a designer
