LDraw.org 2024-04 Parts Update Now Available

[Orion Pobursky]

The 2024-04 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 568 new files to the core library, including 357 new parts and 25 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 2024-04 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue feedback for the new PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

I am aware of the bug with the Parts Preview page.

Bug fixed

Looks like a part was release without its logo primitive:

We're checking to see if there are anymore parts with missing dependencies.

parts/30367cps8.dat - Cylinder 2 x 2 with Dome Top with Lavender Dots, Dark Blue R2-D2 Pattern
parts/30367cps9.dat - Cylinder 2 x 2 with Dome Top with SW Silver / R4-P17 (2016) Pattern

I would like to publicly thank EVERYONE who helped me get these two patterned parts released. 

And I would also like to publicly apologize for my cantankerousness during this process. 

I realize that with new advances in our technologies, our standards can, will, and should keep advancing accordingly. But for someone like me, with poor eyesight, who still has to make do with the old Mark I Eyeball with eyeglasses having thick lenses, it become increasingly frustrating that my own abilities are falling behind the times. 

So, again, thank you all, and God bless you.
