Hey,
this version will extend the "change winding"-tool to work with lines and condlines, too.
It also corrects a "Merge to Nearest Vertex" bug. This merge function will now skip pure condline control points.
There was an important change on the LDraw library URL, too (www.ldraw.org -> library.ldraw.org).
As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

Changelog:
(4 new features and 3 bug fixes)
With this release you will be able to...
The following critical issues were fixed:
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
Installation on Windows:
I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.
LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

Changelog:
(4 new features and 3 bug fixes)
With this release you will be able to...
- ...use the change winding tool (j) on type 2 and type 5 lines, swapping the end points.
- ...have the "verbose" option common to nearly all tools, and be remembered between sessions.
- ...deep inline a subfile and it will mark the end of that subfile, too.
- ...have the CR LF at the end of a line to be included in the selection when you click on a line number.
The following critical issues were fixed:
- "Merge To Nearest Vertex" recognized condline control points as vertices to merge for.
- The LDraw library URL was outdated (www.ldraw.org -> library.ldraw.org).
- 3D scenes only rendered to 1/4 of 3D window in some rare cases.
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
