1. The program could break if a subfile refered to a non-existent or read-protected nested subfile in very rare cases.
   
2. 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).
   
3. It was problematic if the program could not read from the official and unoffical LDraw library folder.
   
4. It was impossible to save a file if its directory does not exist anymore.
   
5. There was a breaking bug which could deactivate the duplication check on a single file (did not affect other files).
   
6. Pressing the ESC key reset the (scale) snapping to an unexpected 2.00 value.
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

In the changelog I Wrote:...see a warning if you try to configure a shortcut key which can't be assigned.

In my current configuration (coming from the older 0.49 version) I had R as shortcut for Rotation (working) AND manipulator reset (not working "of course").
Now I edit keyboard shortcuts to set '<' for rotation and Z for manipulator reset. Both work. (and I can close LDPE, shortcuts properly saved). But since after years of usage I got used to R shortcut for rotation, I change back < to R for rotation, and leave Z assigned to manipulator reset.  This works till I close LDPE... but when I restart it, R is automagically assigned back to reset manipulator (but remains also assigned to rotation, so reset manipulator is no longer accessible)

which one is the one I reported? Just curious.

• An entry under "Last opened files" is not opened inside of the text editor, even when "Sync. 3D Editor Tabs with Text Editor Tabs" is active.
  
• "Cut" or "Delete" does not work in the text editor sometimes, you have to save the file to continue.
  
• "Sync. 3D Editor Tabs with Text Editor Tabs" does not sync the tabs sometimes.
  
• An Edger2 run somehow "locks" the unmatched edges inside of the text editor. They can't be cut or deleted until you save the file to continue.

Anyway I will switch back to 0.49. When I press the SPACE bar now it first rotates my part upside down. If I release and press again to somehow get to the view I want all gets suddenly zoomed in and also distorted.

Edit: All the above is true only for the Linux version.

Try to deactivate it via unchecking "Tools..." -> "Use OpenGL 3.3" and then restart LDPE.

I spent some time to investigate on how to improve the compatibility check for this feature, but I have still no practical solution.
And it probably needs a better name. It is too technical. Even for a experienced LDraw user.
