E-Prime 3.0 (3.0.3.80) - (2018-09-15)
E-Prime 3.0 Update 2 (Version 3.0.3.80) is a maintenance release that provides bug fixes, enhanced system stability, and improved timing accuracy. The improved timing accuracy includes the following:

• increases in the number of times E-Prime samples the computer clock, which reduces the possibility of a timing error
• updates to how E-Prime interacts with the operating system's display driver
• improved monitoring of suspicious detected refresh rates

While increased timing accuracy is a benefit, it may not be consistent with previously collected data. Therefore, researchers should exercise caution before updating if in the midst of study.  For more specific details on the impact of E-Prime 3 Update 2, see RELEASE INFO: Should I upgrade to E-Prime 3.0 Update 2?
