LDraw.org 2023-01 Parts Update Now Available

[Orion Pobursky]

The 2023-01 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 121 new files to the core library, including 84 new parts and 9 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 2023-01 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here. Currently LDView download is unavailable due to the new server configuration. This will be fixed in the near future

This update marks the culmination of an almost year long effort to completely rewrite and overhaul the Parts Tracker software. It also marks the shift of the default library license from CC BY 2.0 to CC BY 4.0. Because of both of these, this is a complete reissue of the entire library.

Thank you to all the beta testers and parts authors who gave feedback during the development of the new PT software. This project would not have come together without your help.

We just moved to a new software suite running the PT. This functionality will be restored and is being tracked by this issue:

Has lcad2301.zip accidentally been replaced by complete.zip in the release? I have downloaded lcad2301.zip and it is a 70MB file with 23868 files inside.

As mentioned above, this is a complete library re-release to update the !LICENSE lines and to fix some other file errors including improper UTF-8 encoding.
