Hello,
The Apache JMeter team is pleased to announce the availability of Apache
JMeter 3.0 (r1743807).
Except that the mirrors have yet to catch up.
The announce should normally be sent 12-24 hours after the release is published.
No, since, the mirrors are gone from the Download Page, we are only the
US and EU ASF mirrors on website, so the announce can be done after ~1 hour.

For emergency releases, that wait can be reduced, in which case the
announce should make it clear that not all the mirrors will have the
release immediately.
This release brings a lot of new features (over 100) and fixes a lot of bugs
(over 60).
We also re-lift the style of JMeter's website and we changed the JMeter's
logo.
You can read the New and Noteworthy section with some screenshots to
illustrate improvements and full list of changes at:
http://jmeter.apache.org/changes.html
JMeter 3.0 requires Java 7 or later to run.
== All users are highly recommended to upgrade ==
The Apache JMeter application is a 100% pure Java application designed to
test server applications.
It can be used to:
* generate test loads
* measure performance.
* test functional behavior
It includes support for protocols such as HTTP(S), JDBC, JMS, FTP, LDAP,
TCP, native calls and others.
It can also be easily extended with user-written code.
See http://jmeter.apache.org/
Users are highly encouraged to read the JMeter Best Practices section:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/best-practices.html
The release can be downloaded from:
http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi
When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file:
https://www.apache.org/dist/jmeter/KEYS
Only the binary archive is needed to run JMeter - there is no need to
download the source archive.
However there are some optional libraries which are not included.
See the "Getting Started" page for details:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html
JMeter artifacts can be downloaded on Maven Central :
<groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId>
<artifactId>ApacheJMeter</artifactId>
<version>3.0</version>
Enjoy!
