Version 3.6 Enhancements Version 3.6 incorporates performance enhancements and a large number of bug fixes donated to ODA by its members, as well as improvements made by the ODA development team. The update includes the following enhancements: * Multi-threaded support for .dwg file loading * Beta multi-threaded rendering support
ODA Chief Technology Officer Neil Peterson added, "3.6 is the first release of Teigha that supports multi-threading, allowing Teigha-based applications to take advantage of multi-core processors.
