After a long delay, I have released a much needed update to MEd, list of changes below:
28th March 2006 - Version 0.31
* Allowed Window to Resize Vertically
* Save settings on exit, MouseSpeed, Sidebar, Statusbar, Toolbar, Window Size and Position
Other settings such as object mode are not saved.
* Undo and Redo buttons are only active when there is something to undo/redo.
* Added optimizations to object loading
* Moved various scene options to main menu
* Added a selection mode option which changes the behaviour of the mouse left click. When selected, the Alt key moves the camera as opposed to the object, reversing the default effect.
* Fixed new IPL file bug, should be able to create new IPL files without program crashing
* Increased floating point precision on text file ipl creation (More Accurate)
Version 0.30 Beta is now available and includes multiple item selection support.
This feature is fairly new and needs testing, if you notice bugs, or have any suggestions then please post on the MEd Development thread on www.gtaforums.com.

Please note that deleting binary IPL instances is dangerous because it seems to mess up paths, only delete objects that you know are safe, e.g. Deleting roads and houses causes the game to crash, but deleting trees is okay. If you want to disable Binary IPL editing, then I suggest you set the read-only attribute on your gta3.img file.
Version v0.11a has now been released and includes many bug fixes, binary IPL editing and a new game chooser. Please read the readme before using this application
