The 3di installer has a filename like 3di5_uk_230122_setup.exe. This filename includes the version number 230122 of the software in yymmdd format, that is yearmonthday, so in our example 22January2023. Sometimes you will see a single-letter suffix x which denotes a sub revision.
Version numbers of this form are also used in the resource and reference documents provided in the PreEntry and Reference folders of your 3di installation. Sometimes the version numbers of these documents are much older than your 3di software — it doesn't mean the document is out of date, just that it hasn't needed any changes in a while.
Changes
This section contains changes introduced to the 3di between successive versions, in reverse chronological order. To understand what changes you will experience when upgrading, read from the bottom up starting at the first version number after the version you are upgrading from.
Changes introduced in 250215
Summary
Some non-ASD Word report elements have been removed. The detailed DSM-5 ASD brief scoring table has also been removed.
Written notes and colour highlighting have been added to the Word report for clarity.
Many obscure built-in Routes have been removed.
Detail
(#54) Remove table 'DSM-5 scales for SCD, Criteria A and B' from full and brief reports.
(#55) Remove the section 'Restricted or Repetitive Behaviours and Interests' which appears in the full report.
(#56) There are two tables under 'DSM-5: ASD extended assessment' and two tables under 'DSM-5: ASD brief assessment' which have a column heading including the text 'bigger = poorer'. This text is replaced by '% maximum severity'.
(#60) Add colour highlighting to the table under 'Children's communication checklist'.
Rows where the score meets the criterion under column 'Severe deficit if score:' are highlighted in colour.
Scale X receives colour highlighting if the child's score is less than or equal to 130.
Display the <= 130 threshold for Scale X where currently we just have '-'.
(#61) Add colour highlighting to the table under 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)'. Rows which have a tick in the 'Criterion met' column are highlighted in colour.
(#62) The table 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)' and the ASD scoring tables currently show unanswered scorable questions in the 'Qs to do' column. This doesn't help the user understand how to fix the problem. Worse, the 'Qs to do' column can optionally be hidden from the Report Preferences dialog, meaning a report can be generated from partial data without any visible indication. If there were any unanswered scorable questions, add a note beneath the table saying 'Insufficient questions were answered to complete this table. Go back and complete the ADHD_brief route' using the appropriate route for each table.
(#63) Under 'Tic disorders', the two headings 'Motor tics' and 'Vocal tics' correspond to questions 17.1.2 and 17.1.3 in the interview. Currently the text under these headings says 'None' both when the interviewer recorded that there were no tics present, but also when the interviewer simply didn't fill in the two relevant questions. For each of these two questions:
When the interviewer completes the relevant question and records that no tics were present, the text now says 'None'.
When the interviewer didn't complete the relevant question, the text instead says 'Question [q number] not answered' as appropriate.
(#57) Remove most of the routes from the 3di. Only the below are kept: ADHD_brief (DSM-5), ASD_brief (DSM-5 Crit A+B), ASD_brief (ICD-10), ASD_extended (DSM-5 Crit A+B), ASD_extended (ICD-10), CCC.
(#58) Under 'DSM-5: ASD brief assessment', remove the pair of tables which give detailed scores in the range 0-6 per behaviour (e.g. Abnormal social approach), leaving just the shorter pair of tables which give scores summarised as percentages per sub-criterion (e.g. A.1 Social-emotional reciprocity).
(#59) In all four of the remaining tables under 'DSM-5 ASD', add colour highlighting to all rows with scores strictly over 50%.
Changes introduced in 230122
DSM-5 (ICD-11) scoring is promoted, while scoring according to ICD-10 (DSM-4) criteria is available but described as superseded. If you do require ICD-10 scores you can select their inclusion from the Edit report preferences button in the Case Manager. The related interview Routes are available in the Choose route dropdowns.
Support added for 64-bit Office. Compatibility with 32-bit Office retained.
No longer includes a bundled Microsoft Access Runtime. This means users are required to have Access preinstalled, or else download the Access Runtime themselves.
An early version of the DSM-5_brief subscales (T and U) and routes are present but undocumented. Do not use this feature.
The Route Explorer now contains 'jump to question' functionality.
Changes introduced in 190109
Compared to a baseline of version 170107.
Bug fix: in certain cases, for example when entering the child's date of birth, dates beyond 2020 had been rejected. Now any date can be entered.
Bug fix: in Word reports, a pair of 'Qs to do' cells had been incorrectly swapped in the ASD Outcomes: Developmental normality table. This has been rectified.
Bug fix: in Word reports, Chinese characters no longer appear in patient ages in the 3di English edition.
Bug fix: previously only the most recently created user route could be selected. Now, any user route can be selected.
Bug fix: in Word reports, scores in DSM-5 SCD Criterion B: S1a Functional impairment were incorrectly calculated in certain cases. This has been rectified.
