XDE stands for the eXtended Data Exchange module provided by the open-source OpenCascade kernel for representing CAD assemblies and engineering metadata. Other names that are sometimes used for the same thing are XCAF, and even DECAF (Data Exchange CAF).
Open Cascade is pleased to announce that the next Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) maintenance release (version 7.6.3) is prepared.
The sources of Open CASCADE Technology 7.6.3 are available under the V7_6_3 tag in the OCCT repository.
This maintenance release fixes the following critical problems:

Open Cascade presented at FOSDEM 2022!
FOSDEM is a worldwide event organized to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. FOSDEM 2022 was fully digital gathering thousands of free and open source software developers from all over the world.
Open Cascade participated in FOSDEM for the third time. This year the presentation “Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) Status Update” included two major topics: the main OCCT 7.6.0 release features and new opportunities for OCCT community.
Open Cascade is pleased to announce that the next Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) maintenance release (version 7.6.1) is prepared.
The sources of Open CASCADE Technology 7.6.1 are available under the V7_6_1 tag in the OCCT repository.
This maintenance release fixes the following critical problems:
This article provides a high-level overview of a frame rendering graph implemented by TKOpenGl (OpenGl_GraphicDriver). Although it is named here as a “graph”, it’s not that flexible and the overall structure looks pretty flat, as could be seen later on diagrams.
Article might be useful to OCCT developers and to advanced OCCT users wanting to learn more about low-level OpenGL rendering aspects of OCCT 3D Viewer, to see a better correlation between high-level (AIS) and low-level (OpenGl) layers, to figure out how and where to implement tricky effects or to understand how to optimize application rendering performance.
Open CASCADE Technology works on a vast range of platforms, and it is one of high priorities to keep supporting major compilers.
I have prepared a short anonymous questionnaire to collect some statistics, and you are welcome to share your opinion on this forum thread.

Forthcoming OCCT 7.6.0 release improves reading and writing of OCAF documents for binary formats of files. Now it is possible to load only a part of the document or append some part into an existing one.
Hello,
We are pleased to inform you that the new release of OCCT, 7.6.0, is ready for beta testing, and invite you to test this beta version in your applications.
Besides being widely applied in open-source and commercial projects, Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is actively used at an academic and research levels around the globe. To provide insight into it Open Cascade launches a new section devoted to OCCT-based research on a renovated Development Portal. It gathers hundreds of research and scientific articles from prominent universities and organizations in more than 40 countries.
