LDraw.org 2024-03 Parts Update Now Available - Orion Pobursky - 2024-04-28
The 2024-03 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 217 new files to the core library, including 135 new parts and 5 new primitives.
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. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.
You can preview the new parts in 2024-03 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.
Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue feedback for the new PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

I take opportunity to also thanks of the reviewer's band for their suggestions, help and patience about my small contribution.

I ran the Windows Installer yesterday. Apparently, it did not actually give me any of the new files. I just noticed that today, when I checked a model of mine that uses one of the new parts -- the model is still using the unofficial version of the new part.
Is it possible you skipped over changing the Windows Installer?
Thanks,
Franklin

The .exe has not, yet, been updated. I don't have the ability to do that when I'm not at home.

But It Don't Have The All-In-One-Installer (AIOI)
RE: LDraw.org 2024-03 Parts Update Now Available - Johannes Schauer - 2024-05-27
Hi,
for Debian I am only keeping those parts which are licensed under CC-BY-4.0. After removing all parts which are themselves still licensed under the old license or are using sub-parts under the old license, this release makes it possible to keep a whopping 83.76% of all parts! This is amazing, thank you!
In my old statistics I listed some heuristics about how the situation can be improved. As now more than 80% are available, I think we are getting into a territory where the parts library in Debian main becomes quite usable. But still some important parts are missing, like a simple 1x1 brick or 1x3 brick. So I came up with a better heuristic to identify remaining problems. How many *popular* parts (according to how inventory_parts.csv and part_relationships.csv from rebrickable.com) would converting a part or sub-part unlock? Here are the top 10:
Code:
parts/s/3005s01.dat 81358 ['60476', '2921', '3005']
parts/s/3622s01.dat 25867 ['3622']
parts/s/6636s01.dat 18786 ['6636']
parts/3068b.dat 14009 ['87580', '6253']
parts/s/3008s01.dat 12064 ['3008']
p/beamhol2.dat 9219 ['2905', '32449', '11126', '32250', '32294', '11478', '2825', '32017', '32251']
parts/s/41770s01.dat 6922 ['41770', '41769']
parts/96910.dat 6635 ['99563']
p/wpin2a.dat 4699 ['2926', '30277', '4488', '30278c01', '65202', '2441', '4600', '21445', '2484c01', '18892', '24055']
parts/s/54383s01.dat 3593 ['54384', '54383']The first column shows the (sub-)part. The second column the sum of popularity (how often the part is used in models according to rebrickable.com) and the list at the end of each line lists the actual parts blocked by the sub-part in the first column. You can see that brick 1x1 3005.dat is among the most popular parts and blocked by parts/s/3005s01.dat.
The most popular parts which are thus still missing are: 3005, 3622, 6636, 87580, 87087, 3008, 44728, 32054, 48336
Contact me if you would like to see more stats or have any questions. Thank you!

I think many of these sub-parts are already reworked and might be included in the next release.
Would it be possible to generate a similar list based on the status of the already reworked files currently on the PT?

Are those accessible publicly? If yes, from where? I fail to find a link.

They're on the Parts Tracker, where all the unofficial parts and fixes live before they are released. For example here's s\3005s01.dat:

Thank you! I found https://library.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/ldrawunf.zip which I suppose is intended to be extracted over the last ldraw parts library version?
I noticed that parts/s/973p5es01.dat has a "Name" which is "s973p5es01.dat" but probably should be "s\973p5es01.dat"?

Thanks for the hint.
I've corrected this now.

Our guidance is that you should not extract unofficial parts over the official library. Parts on the tracker are subject to change.
