Er wordt hard gewerkt aan versie 3.0 van Altap Salamander en via het Early Access Program is daarvan nu de eerste bètarelease verschenen. Altap Salamander is een bestandsbeheerprogramma en moet worden gezien als een directe concurrent van programma's als Norton Commander, Windows Explorer, Total Commander, Windows Commander, XTree Gold, DOS Navigator en Volkov Commander. In versie 3.0 is men onder andere overgestapt op Microsoft Visual C++ als ontwikkelingsomgeving en zijn er nu aparte downloads voor 32bit- en 64bit-omgevingen. Verder zijn er nieuwe vertalingen en gaat het kopiëren van bestanden over het netwerk sneller.
