My IT department usually needs a pretty good lead time if I want to install<br class="">
a new version of some software.<br class="">
<br class="">
I was wondering if there are any plans to release a new version of Alice 3.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">

We are working on the next release of Alice 3, but it will not be out until early March, and our expectation is that it would be the version to use in the 2016-2017 academic year.<br class="">
<br class="">
Please let me know if you have another questions.<br class="">
<br class="">
All the best,<br class="">
Don Slater<br class="">
