I heard that there is an upgraded version of the birthright 3ed rulesets from 2nd ed. all i have found is the version 3.08 at www.birthright.net
Birthright 3th edition convertion

There is some form of BR 3e conversion being worked on by a few people; you can see some recent discussion of it at the forums at that website. Basically it has been languishing for a year or so, but they keep promising it will be ready 'real soon now'. They're not calling it a conversion so much as a complete update, new materials, that kind of thing. Eh.
You can use the 3.08 conversion there, but really, I don't think there's much to convert. A couple of BR proficiencies from the boxed set need to be converted to Professions, Knowledges, or Crafts; the effects of the blood abilities need to be updated to 3e stats; the domain rules need a bit of tweaking (what do new classes collect regency for, how will you handle the freewheeling multiclassing of 3e in that regard, will you even allow the monk in BR). And poof, you're done. You can restat the awnsheghlien and major NPCs as you need them. Since PCs rarely encounter most of them, take the just-in-time approach and don't bother with most of them.

I'm one of the BRCS developers at Birthright.net, so I felt like chiming in 
The 3rd edition Birthright Campaign Setting is being worked on at Birthright.net.
There are only a few of us, and since we're not being paid for it, it's a labor of love. That means that our jobs and families have to come first, which is slowing us down. This is going to be a big book, we're planning for something the size of the FRCS book.
So, just have patience... the book will be worth the wait! It includes an update to 3rd edition from the 2nd edition boxed set, with some all new features. Our focus is updating the old material, but we have some new prestige classes, feats, etc.
