Hey,
this release 1.9.01 updates the Java version from 21 to 25 (LDPE runs on its own Java Virtual Machine, you don't need to install Java).
It should improve the performance a little bit and also fixes one rare "text editor UI update" bug in combination with rounding.
This version will also reset the editor size of the GUI because I needed to change the format which is used to store this information internally.
The config file for version 1.9 is not compatible with version 1.8.

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.
