Please note that this is a dev build of Sublime Text 3. You can only get it by manually downloading or checking for updates using a dev build. The most recent stable build of ST3 is from December of 2013.[1]

Dev builds are alpha-quality and generally unsuitable for everyday use. The current build will change permissions on any file you save.[2]

He says he'll fix it in the next build..

Which I assume, will be released in 6 to 36 months. Yay!

Patience is a great virtue!
While we understand sarcasm, we should give credit to Jon.

Developing a great editor such as ST is a task big teams would have a hard time pulling off, let alone a single developer who is, BTW, running all aspects of the company.

So, sit back and shut up, ST2 works great, ST3 works great. You don't need an update every day just for the sake of being updated.

hmm weird, i cannot reproduce the bug on os x. (3dev channel)

touch hello.txt; chmod 777 hello.txt; subl hello.txt; add something and save ; 777 still.
