It actually was released yesterday.

Here are the release notes:

This release is focused on general bug fixes.

General
     •     OmniOutliner 3.1 will not support 10.2. There may be more  
releases in the OmniOutliner 3.0 line, but as our Software Update  
page shows, the vast majority of our customers are running 10.3 or  
later now.

  Performance
     •     Editing the text in large files should be significantly  
faster now.

  Internationalization
     •     The Hiragana input manager no longer deletes text that  
should have been marked as completed. This was accidentally  
introduced in 3.0.3 beta 3.
     •      When ending editing in a text area, we now tell the text  
input manager to mark as complete any text that is entered in that  
cell. This avoids some problems where Hiragana input can be  
duplicated if you end editing a cell and then restart editing it.

  Clippings
     •     Added a workaround for a problem introduced by Mac OS X  
10.4 "Tiger" where the save panel for creating new clipping files  
wouldn't go away when you clicked "Save".
     •      No longer creates clipping files when you hit "Cancel".
     •      When scanning the clippings directory for clipping  
files, we no longer filter out wrapped OmniOutliner 3 files. As of  
recently all newly created OmniOutliner 3 files are wrapped, so this  
led to most clipping files not being present in the UI.
     •      Fixed duplicate registration of our clippings  
distributed object that is used to communicate between the  
application and clipping service. This would lead to spurious  
messages on the console.

  Software Update
     •     Omni Software Update has been changed to collect a few  
more pieces of information. In particular:
     ◦      Hardware model: This will let us more easily determine  
how many users are on laptops vs. desktops, for example.
     ◦      License type: This will let us know how many of our  
sales go through retail, vs. online store, vs. Apple Pro bundle. No  
information about your personal license will be transmitted.
     ◦      General latitude & longitude: This will let us know more  
accurately what countries our users are in, and thus will let us more  
accurately know what locales we should be supporting better. Again,  
this is only a general location as reported by the System Preferences  
time zone setting you made.
     ◦      The 'Learn more...' button on the software update  
preferences pane in OmniOutliner will let you know exactly what  
information will be sent to our server. If sending any of this  
information makes you uncomfortable for any reason, you can disable  
sending it in that same preference pane.

  Importing
     •     Improved performance of Acta import

  Interface
     •     Pasting text when you have a batch find result selected  
will no longer scroll your view back to the matching row.
     •      Batch find results are now updated again when rows are  
added and removed (including via undo/redo).
     •      Fixed alignment problem in Text Export preferences
     •      Minor localization updates
