The latest feature updates for ArchStudio 3 are always available in the ArchStudio 3 CHANGELOG.

new! [March 28, 2005] - The Critics Framework has been retired in favor of a completely new and improved analysis tool framework called the Tron Framework. We've also added a comparison between Tron and the Critics framework.
