  Product lifecycle for ARGUS Developer. Altus Group publishes an explicit end-of-support
  date for the on-premise product and a stated migration target, plus dated release notes
  per version. There is no API versioning or deprecation policy because ARGUS Developer
  publishes no API.

  current_version_released: '2025-10-11'

    Altus Group has also stated it will migrate ARGUS Developer onto the ARGUS
    Intelligence Platform on a timeline separate from ARGUS Enterprise. That migration
    has no published date, so it is recorded as direction, not as a dated commitment.
