New CVE version 2.5.3 is here!

CVE 2.5.3, released in April 2011, is entitled 'The Performance Pack'
CVE 2.5.3 is essentially about speed!

A growing number of customers are now using multicore processors. CVE 2.5.3 automatically makes use of multiple cores if present to speed up the drawing. It also uses an improved drawing algorithm developed as part of a grant-funded research project.

Together these improvements can reduce the drawing time for large datasets to less than half what it was in CVE 2.5.2 on a dual-core machine (and less still on a 4-core machine). In daily practice PPCL are seeing larger and larger data sets needing processing by CVE. Faster processing times allows quicker handling of these data sets.

Another useful feature of the new version is the smaller memory footprints required for the larger data sets, again resulting in performance improvements for your PC.

Finally, CVE 2.5.3 has full compatibility with Windows 7.

In addition a number of problems identified in version 2.5.2 have been resolved.

There is also a new version (4.1.6) of the CVE Data Tools which fixes a number of bugs.
