Wee-hoo!  This one's a biggie! :)  The 2004-02 parts update has been unleashed.

It includes 408 files, with 122 new part files.  A special treat are the two
largest parts we've ever had the privilege of including in the LDraw.org parts
library.  The first big file is part 782.dat, the 50 x 50 baseplate.  The second
part is also a baseplate, part 3947.dat, the craterplate.  This one is 'big'
because its DAT files take up over a megabyte of storage.  That's *big*.

In a few hours, you'll be able to download 2004-02 by going to
<http://www.ldraw.org/library/updates>, but for now, try
<http://www.ldraw.org/OLD/library/updates>.

Thanks to all the authors and reviewers who contributed to this release.

Special, personal thanks to Chris Dee, who wrote the script to generate the
preview page.  I really like not having to write "the preview page is not yet
available". ;)

(...) Thanks! I'm the person (URL) requested the 50 x 50 baseplate>, and it's great to see it official. It's quite an old "part" (it's so big it's hard to call it a "piece"). It probably is LEGO's biggest part ever. Thanks again, Chris Dee, for (...) (20 years ago, 23-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Don't we have to re-run mklist.exe or something when we install updates? Paul Sinasohn (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.cad)
