Full Version: LDraw.org 2019-03 Parts Update Now Available
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
The 2019-03 LDraw Parts Update has been now been released. This adds 627 new files to the core library, including 474 new parts and 24 new primitives. Update versions of the colour definition files (LDConfig.ldr and LDCfgalt.ldr) are included in this release.

After discussion on this forum we have decided to stop releasing files representing LEGO part numbers for 'Physical_Colour' parts, as other automatically updated resources (such as BrickSet), provide a better source for this information. Included in this update are more re-issued versions of many of the 'Physical_Colour' parts as obsoleted files.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. 

You can preview the new parts in 2019-03 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here. Alternatively you can use the LDView menu option File | Check for Library Updates... to install the update.

There are still a significant number of 'problem' files which fail to meet our standards and have been left on the Parts Tracker, some for several years. As a reminder, if these have remained untouched by the original author for three months, they are considered 'fair game' for any author to correct. We would welcome any effort to reduce this backlog.

Due to other 'real-life' conflicts, the planned end-of-October update was not forthcoming, but I hope this third 2019 release is a welcome increase in throughput.
As an active part author myself I can only join in and say Thank you to all the active reviewers.

I find it sad that if I add up all the files in need of a first or second review, the sum is more than 2500 files.
We need more activity among the reviewers, and please have a look into all the older files too.
Also from my side, a very big Thank you to all Part Authors, reviewers, to Chris for his work and to Gerlad for the great picture.

Thanks for pushing this update Chris. You efforts at this are always appreciated no matter the frequency.

Thanks also to all the part authors and reviewers. I've fallen off the wagon with reviewing and authoring (much easier to do OMR models on my limited free time) so thanks to all those who haven't.
Awesome! Could you also provide LDR-file?
Many thanks - now installed on the LDraw website.

from the .zip file I can see that the new ldconfig.ldr has many more changes than I expected. As an example, the colors for all of the first 23 have been updated.

Black, for instance, was previously:

value #05131D, edge #595959.

Now it is:

value #1B2A34, edge #808080

I have pasted a full database update script below, so that you can see how much has been changed since the last version:

Are all these changes intended?
Here you are
Very happy to see the propeller assembly from set 8855 Prop Plane! Been on my build list for a while. :-)
