====== L3DT 2.3 pre-release available ======

Hurrah! The last of the serious mosaic errors have been fixed. To celebrate, I've uploaded a beta-version of L3DT 2.3, the full version of which will follow in a week or two.

The main change from 2.2 to 2.3 is the re-implementation of heightfield [[bundydocs>l3dt:algorithms:mosaics|mosaic maps]], which were last seen in [[l3dt:ann:v2.1|L3DT 2.1 (Nov 2003)]]. As a result of this, you can now generate heightfields up to 32k × 32k pixels in size. This version also includes various bug-fixes, optimisations, and user-interface goodies. Also, users of [[http://www.vterrain.org/Doc/Enviro/overview.html|VTP Enviro]] may be interested in the new '[[bundydocs>l3dt:userguide:io:export:enviro|Export to Enviro]]' option.

L3DTVi2 is incompatible with this beta-version. This is because I've slightly changed the mosaic file structure. An updated L3DTVi2 will arrive with the full release of L3DT 2.3. Aside from fixing L3DTVi2, the to-do list includes a few minor jobs plus some rigorous testing.
