The 2013-01 LDraw Parts Update has been now been released. This update includes 539 new files in the core library, including 327 new parts and 78 new primitives. The update includes a mixture of older parts and newly issued parts.
Thanks are due to the small community of experienced and most welcome new part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The reviewers have also played an important role to make this release happen. Of note is the inclusion of an updated version of the last remaining "non-redistributable" part, so the current library is fully covered by the Contributor Agreement and available for redistribution.
You can preview the new parts in 2013-01 and download the update by going to the Latest Parts page.
Many of the 99 certified files remaining on the LDraw Parts Tracker were held back from this update in keeping with our normal practice of not releasing new primitives or subparts until they are needed for an official part file. However, no new "Physical colour" parts are included in this update as there are plans to move these to a separate section of the LDraw file structure, to more closely fit with the "DesignID" vs. "ItemID" concept.
