LDView 4.2 Released

[Michael Horvath]

Will the source code compile with Visual Studio Express 2015? The 2005 version does not install on Windows 10.

Do you mean that Visual Studio 2005 doesn't install on Windows 10, or LDView 4.2 doesn't install on Windows 10? Because my final development work was done (with Visual Studio 2005) in Windows 10, and it worked fine. Of course, Windows 10 isn't really Windows 10 any more; it's now Windows 10 with Anniversary Update, and that may as well be a whole new operating system given the huge swath of programs that Microsoft broke.

In any event, the 4.2 source tree won't build in Visual Studio 2015, but I migrated the source tree to GitHub and also updated it for Visual Studio 2015:

If you want to try to build it yourself, you are welcome to do so, and there's a decent chance that it will work, since I included pre-built VC2015 versions of the various libraries that LDView depends on in the GitHub source tree. And all my Visual Studio 2015 work was done with the free version of Visual Studio 2015.

Despite my claim that 4.2 would likely be the last release, there will in all likelihood be a 4.3 release at some point. I'm not going to make even rough estimates on when that might happen due to how bad I was with the 4.2 release.

I meant that Visual Studio 2005 won't install on Windows 10.

I will try compiling the github stuff, though I don't really know what I'm doing.

Are the instructions in Build.txt up-to-date?
