# About This Release

Cognex ViDi 3.3.0 introduces the following new features and enhancements:

- General stability and performance improvements.
- Improved support for NVIDIA® Turing™ Tensor Cores for the Red Analyze and Green Classify tools with the Low Precision parameter enabled.

- Two new model types have been added for the Blue Read tool.

  - A regular expression model, which allows you to specify string matches based on regular expressions. This type of model offers faster, more flexible model matching for applications with linear arrangements of text than the existing node model.
  - A string model, which allows you to match linear strings based on the length of the text string.
- Improved performance for image displays that include a large number (500+) of feature graphics.
- Improved readability of the Green Classify tool's class labels when creating reports for the tool.
- Simplified controls for rotating a tool's Region of Interest (ROI).
- Support for Cognex VisionPro version 9.5 has been added.

Note:

- The VisionPro, Designer and ViDi software require that a valid Cognex Dongle be installed during all phases of operation. Any attempts to temporarily remove, substitute, or share a Cognex Dongle may cause your system to operate incorrectly, and may result in the loss of data.

  When ViDi is configured for the Client/Server functionality, and a computer has been configured as a server, the Cognex Dongle must be attached to the server, but the client(s) does not need a Cognex Dongle.

- For more information about new API functionality in this release, see the Cognex ViDi Suite .NET Library and Cognex ViDi Suite C API help files.
