## 🚀 New Features and Improvements

### ✨ New Features
- **[Voice Rule]**: Call a voice rule directly without necessarily triggering listening through the keyword. Note that this feature requires updating the clients to version 3.2.0 and configuring these direct-call rules on each client.  
- **[Plugin Audit]**: New `Audit` command accessible from `Plugin Studio`. This command verifies the integrity of all plugins with `npm` packages. It generates a report on security vulnerabilities and outdated versions of the packages requiring updates. The command also provides an option to update these packages when possible.  
- **[Information]**: New `Information` command accessible from the application menu. This command checks the integrity of A.V.A.T.A.R.'s `npm` packages. It generates a report on security vulnerabilities and outdated versions of the packages requiring updates.  
- **[Plugin Library]**: Installing a plugin from the `Plugin Library` now automatically installs the plugin's packages to their latest versions. There is no need to have a _node_modules_ directory saved in the plugin's GitHub project. Only the _package.json_ file containing the required packages is necessary.  
- **[Version Log]**: The update process now displays a summary log of the new application version's changes.
