Hi,
The info you are looking for is available online at www.usmle.org/news/testsoftware.htm. Recently, they changed the web site usmle.org and the previous link is not working any more.
Changes in the program will bring few new functions in the exam. If you take USMLE Step 3 in October you will probably be tested with the new software and your score might be reported late. I would go ahead and download the sample test materials and familiarize with the new software.
Regards!
