 | | Embedded language support in LPub
|
|
Hi All, LPub fans may be aware that I'm planning on adding scripting language support into LPub to let the *power* users do what they want, including prototyping new features that may someday be incorporated directly into LPub. The idea behind (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi All, I only posted this to announce, but thought wiser. I've released LPub 2.1.0.7 for general use. It contains a few new minor features, but more importantly there are fixes to the combination of rotation steps and buffer exchange, as well as (...)

Of course the weekend that the ldraw site has some headaches is also the weekend that I decide to rebuild my PC and don't have a copy of the ldraw programs and the latest part files.
