I know, me neither, didn't think it would happen one day...
Edited : I hadn't seen the pricing.
It looks like upgrade will be free for new owners of Nectar 2 production suite, people who bought this month.

A lot of new stuff, and they gave up on their own melodyne like plugs to pair directly with Celemony and include celemony esential in the bundle. They still offer their debreather, which is cool cause it's excellent.

Should be out later this month.

Nope, it's just for people who bought this month and it's common industry practice. They do it to avoid pissing off people who just bought the software a week before they announced a new version, not to hand out free upgrades.

 

Edited.
Yeah you're right, I hadn't seen the "pricing" tab. 129$ the update from N2 Prod Suite.
Anyway since it's an (expensive) paid upgrade I'll wait a few months to upgrade that they massively lower the price for it like the team at Izotope usually does.
