DATE FORMAT IMPROVEMENTS

Onshape added support for dd-mm-yyyy, d-MMM-yyyy, dd/mm/yy, dd/mm/yyyy, dd.mm.yy, and dd.mm.yyyy in drawing notes and the revision table.

DEFAULT OPTION FOR VIEW SIMPLIFICATION

A new default option for View Simplification has been added to Onshape Drawings. You can choose from None, Absolute, Ratio to Studio, Ratio to Part, and Automatic. For best performance, it is still recommended to leave it on Automatic unless it is necessary to change it.
