New for 3.0

1. The application will perform faster and require far less memory for larger inspections.
2. You will notice multiple instances of IA in task manager (should you care to check). This is normal. IA 3.0 is now multi-process
3. The icon and header bar are now blue instead of red

Application

1. Last-question navigation now uses a more visible, persistent blue border
2. Updates now show unzip progress notifications
3. New patching system will download and apply multiple patches in one pass, reducing the number of restarts if your IA is behind multiple versions.
4. Attachments reflect changes in real-time when changed remotely
5. Added “Copy Note” feature for inspector notes for easier copy/paste to final documentation
6. Made the “more” text on progress bars clickable links so user can filter by question type easily

Reports

1. Links removed from reports exported to excel
2. Old validation report is retired and the beta validation report (available for several months now) is now promoted to default.
3. Standard Issue completeness tests added to validation report

Note: this update does not include the pending 2015 content updates, those are expected in early 2015. So, please hold off creating new inspections, if possible, until those updates are released.
