CC3 Plus Release and Testing - Please Read This First

If you want to post about CC3+, and we encourage you to do so, please can you read this first:
1. The CC3+ upgrade is being released in three stages:
3. If you bought Campaign Cartographer since CC3+ was released, you'll be offered both CC3 and CC3+ to download and install. They work independently. Over the next few months, we'll be updating all add-ons so that they are compatible with CC3+. You do not need to download or install CC3+ until you want to use it.
4. We'll continue to offer regular free updates to CC3+.
5. The add-ons will take a while to be made compatible. The modernisation of the source code has unexpected consequences, so I can't give you an accurate timescale. DD3 is first.
6. Our next major release add-on release will be Perspectives 3. That could be many months away judging by our track record on release dates.
1. The CC3+ upgrade is being released in three stages:
- The pre-release version which has gone out to Character Artist 3 customers who took up our offer of a free upgrade before Jan 2014, people who bought recently, 2014 convention customers and Unlimited License Patrons. If you can't find the email contact us
- The Early Adopter Version upgrade is available and on sale from the registration area. This version is on sale only $25 until 1st February.. Vouchers which offer a greater discount to recent customers have gone out. If you can't find the email contact us.

Second I want to thank you for making the CC3 to CC3+ upgrade very cost effective. Always nice to feel important with a little loyalty bonus, as a logn long time CC owner, cost effective upgrades are very appreciated.
Third, due to the second thing I am now a continued loyal customer of Profantasy with CC3+. I look foward to the upgrade of the rest of the product line.
I also have a question: Will the CSUAC symbols be made compatible? At the moment they don't work.
Thus, the question of what has to be done to make the CSUAC work with CC3+ needs to be answered (although not necessarily resolved) by ProFantasy, simply because no one else can do it.
Based upon Simon's recent answer to my query regarding converting our Vintyri (TM) symbols for CC3+, I assume that this will be no big deal, and perhaps Shessar will jump in again and do what is necessary, just as she did last time.
I also echo Highland_Piper's question, when will the add-ons be useable in CC3+ ?
Dioramas 3 won't require too much more programming - just some simplification of dialogs, but will require a lot of new artwork. We'd be very interested in feedback from existing users on another thread.
Congratulations on getting CC3+ out.
Is there a list of the new features, especially the different sheet "Effects"? Is there also a list where I can see what the effect does, instead of testing it out on everything?
Thanks again though, great product.
Avast doesn't detect anything when I scan the file (neither does malwarebytes), so it was only part way through the copying process when anything 'looked' bad. I just re-downloaded the early adopter setup program so that I could do a hash check against the file I had installed, the old version (downloaded 21st Jan) was smaller than the newly downloaded version, so I'm not sure if Avast removed part of the file, or you've modified the setup program since initially uploading it. I'll hang on to the original exe, in case you want a copy.
The best thing you can do, when installing, moving or, yes, uninstalling ProFantasy software is to disable the Avast real-time shields beforehand.

edit:
It says Arrow keys to increase/decrease the numbers. All the arrow keys on my laptop do, under WIn 8.1, is to rotate the number around an axis.
When are the Annuals compatible with CC3+?
