We are proud to announce the release 4.0.2. This release is way better than the previous release, in many fields, and much easier to use.
Here is the list of changes that we have already introduced in the 4.0.2 release.

1. Migration to latest jMe release.
2. Migration to jme physics latest.
3. Enhanced selection facilities and spatial movements. Both in the single selection and multiple selection, there are now free movement tool plus the gizmos.
4. Multiple selection in the editor, you can now select more that one object in the editor, and change its transformation attributes, like translation rotation, and scaling, both with gizmos, and free movement tool. Multiple and single selection works from both the 3d scene, and the content outline view. Also the selection gets reflected on both sides, if you try to select from the 3d scene, then it will get reflected on the content outline, and vise versa.
5. Cloning object via free movement tool by holding the CTRL button.
6. Cloning of render states via the drag and drop, if you have a spatial with some render state activated on that spatial, then it's just enough to drag and drop that state to a destination spatial, and it will get applied.
7. Alignments tools in the editor, you can align your spatials in the 3d scene, align bottom, top, left , right, and in the z direction as well. Make the same distance between those spatials as well.
8. Enhanced code.
9. Adding of the missing command components, there was some set of missing commands from some of the components in the editor, now they are all in there, so every move in the editor, can be rolled back, and redone as well.
10. Improved content outline for the missing objects, now almost every thing show in the content outline, like controllers, lights, states, textures, … .
11. Improved way to delete your items from the editor.
12. Code refactoring to be easier for other users to extend the functionality of the editor.
13. Preferences for the camera, and the threshold of the gizmos. Also the introduction of the preferences will help us, and other users to add more features to the editor.... read more

A new branch for MonkeyWorld3D editor is available, you can check it out from this url:

We are proud to announce the release of MonkeyWorld3D game editor v 4.0.1 RC1, this release contains lots of improvments and additions, here is the list of the all of them:

1.Migration to the new jME release which is RC1.

2.Adding physics to the Spatial Editor, now you can add physics nodes, joints, axis and other physics related stuff in the spatial editor, save/load them on the fly, add force, torque ... etc. If you were watching the project from the SVN on the sourceforge, you will notice that we previously had the physics as a separate editor, that was causing us a lot of trouble maintaing the physics editor from the spatial editor, while they shared most of the sections in the editor, so its much much better having them at the same code base in the editor, this will also facilitate loading models that contains physics before, so the spatial editor will act smarter and figure out how to show those meshes, and give you the ability to edit them.... read more
