The waiting is over! QGIS 3.0 is officially out.
Compared to QGIS 2.x, there are substantial changes under the hood of the popular GIS. For example QGIS now works with Python 3 and Qt 5.
One of the biggest novelties for me is the fully integrated 3D environment.
There are so many improvements that I don’t want to mention them all here. Others have already done better:
QGIS 3.0 To Be Released in February
Upcoming QGIS3 features – exploring the current developer version
UPDATE: New features and changelog
For usable binary packages we will still have to wait some hours. I will tell you here, when the time comes.
UPDATE: Binaries for Linux, MacOS and Windows are out: https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html
You have to know that QGIS 3.0 is an early adopter release at the moment.
For daily stable work I would still recommend the latest LTR version 2.18 to avoid surprises 😉
Next LTR will come in June with version 3.2.
For me, QGIS is one of the most important software packages in my daily work routine.
If it’s the same with you:

How can I download Qgis 3.x? I’ve been waiting for this new release for ages and now that it is officially out….I can’t find any place to download from.
Any tip?

At the moment you are dependent on Linux. For Windows installers you will still have to wait for some days.
