V4 confusion

I have just been reading the posts about 'free' upgrades from V3.1 to V4.
Is this factual? I was under the impression that it had to be purchased, either as a download or a CD and I am presently waiting for Goulds in Australia to receive CD's so that I can go ahead.
Is a free full download available, or not?

If you bought V3 after V4 was announced, you got a special deal to get a free upgrade to V4 when available. Presumably they had to do that otherwise the announcement would have killed sales of the current version.

Just to add that according to the press release at the time reported on this site, this offer only applied to people who after Novemeber 25th 2008 bought the download version or bought v3 from:
My History (UK), S&N Genealogy Supplies (UK), TWR Computing (UK), Gould Genealogy (Australia), Beehive Books (New Zealand)

Thanks gents
I have had my V3.1 for some time so will wait for the CD - I prefer the CDs to downloads as I know they are sitting in my cupboard for future use if my PC or hard drive goes 'belly up'. This has happened on a couple of occasions.
Thanks agaon
