LDPartEditor 1.8.55-beta
With the release of 1.8.55 you are able to...
- ...to see a warning for subpart references with no content. You can also transform empty subparts and "see" them as a single vertex in the 3D editor.
- ...use "Show Selection in Text Editor" to show the first line that uses that vertex, when you selected a vertex (or the next lines when you repeat the function).
- ...benefit from a better contrast of hidden lines in the text editor.
The following critical issues are fixed:
- Empty primitives couldn't be selected/rotated (e.g. 1-16chrd's)
- The zoom value for newly created files was not the default value (3D Editor)
- When the user did not wanted to save the file in the text editor it was still displayed in the 3D editor.
- "Show selection in 3D View" did not select the vertices from subfiles.
- When you used separate text and 3D windows and created a new file, a new text window was opened, instead of using a new tab in the already opened text window.
- If you used "save as", a new file was created, but no text window or tab was created, although the sync tabs button was active.
- "Sync. 3D Editor Tabs with Text Editor" setting was sometimes deactivated.
- (back-ported to 1.8.54) LDPartEditor 1.8.54 won't start on Linux (because of a classpath error)
- Minor IO error regarding the "(no file selected)" tab.

LDPartEditor 0.8.53-beta
Changes:
With the release of 0.8.53 you are able to...
- ...benefit from about 100 different optimizations to LDPEs code base (I added 180000 lines and deleted 185000 lines since the last release).
- ...benefit from a new, more robust and secure method which loads and saves LDPEs configuration file.
- ...get improved hints and tips for the startup dialog (seen on first program start).
The following critical issues are fixed:
- Undo / Redo broke the 3D model if the file ended with empty lines or contained duplicated empty line groups.
- The calculated colour for transparent textures was too dark. (OpenGL 2.0)
- On MacOS X it was not possible to reassign a shortkey, because the dialog window had not the required focus for detecting the keyboard input.
- Avoided obvious divisions by zero on "zoom to fit" with empty models and by scaling a zero-height font with Txt2Dat.
- The 3D editor freezed by an BFC INVERTNEXT without a following TYPE 1 reference line.
- "Make subpart from 3D selection" duplicated "0 BFC INVERTNEXT" meta commands.
Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and JVM (64bit).
Does my JVM support 64-bit?

LDPartEditor 0.8.50-beta
Changes:
With the release of 0.8.50 you are able to...
- ...use a button to re-open the 3D view (if no view is shown)
- ...see a warning if you try to configure a shortcut key which can't be assigned.
- ...start the program with a broken config file (it's not a bug, it's a feature!).
The following critical issues are fixed:
- The program could break if a subfile refered to a non-existent or read-protected nested subfile in very rare cases.
- There was a critical selection problem which occured if you have tried to select a single quad, but you deactivated the selection of quads before (selection filter).
- It was problematic if the program could not read from the official and unoffical LDRAW library folder.
- It was impossible to save a file if its directory does not exist anymore.
- There was a breaking bug which could deactivate the duplication check on a single file (did not affect other files).
- Pressing the ESC key reset the (scale) snapping to an unexpected 2.00 value.
Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and JVM (64bit).
