So, LDView's auto-update mechanism is likely to totally fail on case-sensitive file systems (which are default on Linux). Even the initial might fail there, since it looks for "ldraw" and not "LDraw". (That might succeed, due to my support for case-insensitive part file lookups, but I don't think that case-insensitive code extends to the ldraw directory itself. However, even if it does succeed it will slow LDView down a great deal, since the case-insensitive lookups are much slower when they have to be used.)

I strongly feel that this particular branding effort should be abandoned immediately.

Following discussion, this change has been reverted. The complete.zip and lcad2001.zip downloads now only contain an ldraw (all lower case) folder.

Windows users should not have been impacted by this change, but Linux users are recommended to remove the (mixed case) LDraw folder and re-install this parts update, which should now place the new and updated files in the (lower case) ldraw folder.
