L3DT version 2.9 beta release #3

Hi Everyone,

A third beta release of L3DT v2.9 is now available for download. This version fixes the following bugs found in v2.9 beta 2:

• Opening the script editor was causing crashes on non-Windows 7 systems.
  
• L3DT Standard Edition was occasionally throwing errors related to heightfield mip-map generation.
  
• The 'File->Export->Export map layer' menu option did not work.

Additionally, this beta release also includes a new DDS plugin that supports loading and saving of large image files that will not fit in the available system memory. In case of compatibility issues, I have included the old DDS plugin with the installer also. To revert to the old plugin, open the extension manager, disable the new 'L3DTio_DDS2' plugin, enable the old 'L3DTio_DDS' plugin, then re-start L3DT.

Please let me know if you find any problems with this beta release.

Best regards,
Aaron.

Regular service has resumed

Hi All,

I've returned from my brief excursion, the store and registration pages have re-opened, and all is back to normal.

Cheerio,
Aaron.

The cone of silence descends...

Hi Everyone,

I'm off to a conference for a few days. Regular service will resume on or around Friday.

Cheerio,

Short delay for release 2.9

Hi Everyone,

L3DT release 2.9 has been temporarily delayed to fix some errors in the Standard Edition that were not noticed (or reported) during the beta testing phase. The release is now expected in about one week's time, unless any further errors are reported. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this delay.

Best regards,
Aaron.

The nominal release date for L3DT v2.9 is now around about the 1st of June.

Best regards,
Aaron.
