What are the differences ? Which improvement ?
I found that .measure does work in 2003.3 in some case while it was good in 2002.2. I got :
"**warning**: measure equation evaluation cannot be node voltages or branch currents"
Any other bug or advantage when using the lastest (2003.3) ?

Bug? of course , there will be many new bugs associated with new version.
Improvement? Yes, but do you really NEED these?
Here is hight light of change
