LDPartEditor 0.8.14-beta

Changes:

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. The PartReview progress monitor did not update the status info.
2. "Split View Horizontally / Vertically" did not work correct with the new sync. feature (Zoom / Manipulator / Translation).
3. "Intersector" did not hide primitives.
4. The LDU to Inch factor was not correct (was 0.015625, but should be 0.015748).
5. Released translation / property files for the German language version too early.
6. MeshReducer did not always terminate automatically (but the manual "Cancel" button worked).
7. SWTException: Widget is Disposed, when inserted something.
8. Transform selection (Subfiles) threw a NullPointerException.
9. A colour change (Subfiles) threw a NullPointerException.
10. The OpenGL line width for primitives was not constant (Primitive Area).
11. After I used SymSplitter to get half of a file, and then used the Select ...All Shown, all edges, tris and quads in hidden primitives and subfiles were selected too.
12. "Drag & Drop" with primitives led to an event overflow, which slowed down the OpenGL render engine.
13. Open *.dat File (3D Editor) threw a NullPointerException.
14. The Subfiler didn't include and move comments. They're left behind in the main file. The structure of the file was lost.

LDPartEditor 0.8.11b-beta

Changes:

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. Critical: Broken triangle selection.

LDPartEditor 0.8.11-beta

This release is broken. Please download 0.8.11b instead

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.11 (and also 0.8.11b) you are able to...

• ...to manipulate the CSG bodies in the same way as the sub-parts (supports also colour changes, "Select All", "Select all with Same Colours" and "Select None", global and local transformation).
• ...to quickly convert selected triangles into quads.
• ...to create and use angle protractors for 3 points.
• ...to create and use distance meters between 2 points (distances depend on local or global manipulator settings).
• ...use a little unit converter on the 3D editor window (located at the snapping area).
• ...to benefit from better undo/redo performance.

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. If you copied a LPE vertex and then tried to move one of them, both copies were moved ("Move Adjacent Data" is OFF).

LDPartEditor 0.8.10-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.10b you are able to...

• ...customise GUI colours with the new "Options" dialog (text / 3D editor).
• ...activate/deactivate the error detection for new faces (with the new "Options" dialog)
• ...activate/deactivate no structure-aware sorting (text editor)
• ...copy/cut/delete modifies the currently "selected" line in the text editor (without text selection, it works now on the line where the caret is placed, too)
• ...better performance / usablility for "Toggle Comment / Toggle TEXMAP" (text editor)
• ...better performance for "Synchronise Folders / Editor Content".
• ...benefit from auto-removal of CR/LF line endings at the end of the file (on save)
• ...benefit from usability improvements for Add... Line, Triangle, Quad & Condline (the selection rectangle does not create a new vertex anymore)

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. Subfiles references with "s" as prefix were not found when they were located in the same folder as the parent file
2. Toggle comment/toggle !TEXMAP on multiple lines did not work as expected.
3. SymSplitter: Result was shifted if there was a "0 BFC INVERTNEXT"
4. Bounding-box calculation errors with empty sub-files (some sub-files were invisible).

LDPartEditor 0.8.9-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.9 you are able to...

• ...get a standard file header on any new *.dat file.
• ...benefit from a better performing colour change and BFC swap in the text editor.
• ...benefit from a little bit faster render engine (depends on the 3D settings).
• ...shutdown LDPE quicker. LDPE does not ask you for unsaved projects anymore.
• ...get lowercase folders names in the project structure.
• ...see "Ctrl+Click" hints on button tooltips (only for modifiable functions, e.g. "Round")

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. Risk of data loss: "Delete" in the text editor with no selected text threw an exception.
2. The pipette copied the RGBA values from an overwritten colour 16.
3. The subfile-compiler did not support "s" sub-parts on linux.
4. "Save As..." did not use the lowercase "s" prefix for subfile names.
5. "New Project" created a folder in the application directory.
6. Shaders did not compile on Intel HD Graphics.
7. The rubber band selection got cleared if the selection process was computationally intensive.
8. Opening a file in the 3D editor was not sychronised with the part tree on the left.

LDPartEditor 0.8.8c-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.8c the following critical issues are fixed:

1. Primitive caching issues, causing a stackoverflow on all systems and a slowdown on 32-bit (severe)
2. The subfile creator added a capital S in front of the sub-part number, instead of a lower case s and created wrong names for primitives, too.

LDPartEditor 0.8.8b-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.8b the following critical issues are fixed:

1. Primitive caching freezes on 32-bit (severe)
2. Quick Fix synchronisation errors with the text editor (severe)
3. "Show All" did not make sub-file surfaces visible again.
4. Errors on sub-file folder searching on case sensitive file systems.
5. The shortkeys for Cut/Copy/Paste (3D Editor) were displayed on the shortkey dialog.
6. "Hide" makes more than the selected object invisible in some rare cases.
7. The selection of sub-file content did not get restored with undo/redo.
8. Spelling errors / typos on the "Customise Shortkeys" dialog.

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.8 you are able to...

• ...insert a reference line (type 1) with Ctrl+R (Text Editor only)
• ...enable "Edge Adjacency" in combination with "Select Connected/Touching..." (instead of the default vertex adjacency)
• ...switch between "solid" edge lines and classic OpenGL lines
• ...get some usability improvements: When "Insert Objects Behind The Cursor Position" is active, a carriage return / linefeed will be inserted (you don't have to hit the Enter button anymore)
• ...set the pivot point to the manipulator position.
• ...use a "close" menu item in the context menu of the 3D editor (to close open files in the 3D view).
• ...use a "close" menu item in the context menu of the file tree (to close open files in the 3D view).
• ...use the new "two thirds" perspective (similar to the setting in LDView)
• ...benefit from a better description for the Intersector tool.
• ...benefit from another line colour during edge/triangle/quad creation

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. A rare deadlock is fixed. It occured during the development of 0.8.8 for the first time.

3. Several problems with empty sub-files (like "1-16chrd") are fixed.
4. Primitve caching issues on Win XP (32 bit) are gone.
5. The file search for file references/textures did not always use the base path of the current file.
6. The hide/show state was too volatile.
7. SymSplitter did not treat the first line of the file.
8. An uncritical drag&drop type exception is fixed.
