NASPA Zyzzyva version 3.0.3 was a time-limited test edition of Zyzzyva that expired on May 1, 2015, replaced by version 3.0.4. It was released for Windows and OS X, but is no longer available.
This release of NASPA Zyzzyva, developed by Ross Brown, was the first public release since NASPA’s acquisition of Zyzzyva from Michael Thelen.
