LDPE 1.8.54 Beta Released (bugfixes / no Java / new installers)


1.8.54 Beta Released (bugfixes / no Java / new installers)
#1
Hey,


this version comes with new installers and does not need a Java installation anymore.
It also improves the compatibility with Mac OS X and Linux.


Please uninstall the previous LDPartEditor version, before installing version 1.8.54.
LDPE uses now a very modern technology stack (self-contained Java 17).

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/


Changelog:
(2 new features and 2 bug fixes)


With this release you will be able to...
  • ...use installers of LDPartEditor for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (without the need to install Java)
  • ...see more digits (at least 4 decimal places) on the protractor and the distance meter.

The following critical issues were fixed:

  1. "Set X/Y/Z (for Selection)" loaded always the vertex from the clipboard if there was one vertex stored in it.
  2. Outdated UI libraries for Mac OS X were updated.




The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, it is still a beta version and something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
  2. Run LDPartEditor-1.8.54.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu

Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.54-1_amd64.deb
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher

Installation on Mac OS X:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.54.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
        4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
        4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, this version was tested, there are already known issues  for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB

Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB
  • For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.
