The TrenchBroom Level Editor
Today I am releasing TrenchBroom 1.0 for Windows and Mac OS X. TrenchBroom is a modern cross-platform level editor for Quake.

Features
- True 3D editing, no 2D views required
- High performance renderer with support for huge maps
- Vertex editing with edge and face splitting
- Manipulation of multiple vertices at once (great for trisoup editing)
- Smart clip tool
- Move, rotate and flip brushes and entities
- Precise texture lock for all operations
- Smart entity property editors
- Graphical entity browser with drag and drop support
- Comprehensive texture application and manipulation tools
- Search and filter functions
- Unlimited undo and redo
- Point file support
- Automatic backup
- Support for .def and .fdg files, mods and multiple wad files
- Free (as in beer) and open source (GPLv3)
- Cross platform (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux supported)

Check out a video of TrenchBroom in action here.

You can download the editor here.

If you would like to give feedback, please do that in this thread. If you find a bug or have a feature suggestion, please submit them at the issue tracker.

If you are wondering where the Linux binaries are then sorry, but currently there are none. The Linux version has a few problems which I could not fix before this release. I will get working on those right away so that the Linux version should be available in a couple of weeks, too.

Finally, I would like to thank necros for all his work over the past year. Without his tireless efforts, TrenchBroom would simply not exist. Or it would suck.

Alright, enough of this. Have fun with the editor!

Update: 2.1 here:

Features "cool shit".

Thanks, Flp 
That helps a lot, although there are a few things I still don't quite get. Need to read through this a few times though before I ask more stupid questions. 
Cycling Through 2d Views In TB2 
How does that work again? Has it changed over the last few builds? I can't figure it out... 
Space Bar 
 
Thanks! :) 
 
TB2: Number Of Brushes In Map? 
Where do I see how many brushes I have in my map? (I feel like I used to know this, but now I can't figure it out). 
Nowhere ;-) 
 
Ah, Ok :/ 
Will it be possible in a later build?

And another question: is it possible to merge groups, brushes and entities into pre-existing groups (without creating nested groups in the process)? If not, would it be worth requesting this functionality on github? 
 
... or for that matter, removing brushes and entities from groups (not deleting them, just ungrouping them while retaining the rest of the group) would also be amazingly useful.

But maybe all of that is already possible? 
Yes And No 
moving stuff in and out of groups is possible, but currently broken. I'll add a bug report for this. 
Ok, Thanks For The Info. 
 
Already Made The Changes 
They're in the repository. 
 
Meaning I just need to update to the latest build?

Wow, you're fast. :) Thank you! 
Updated 
That's fantastic; just what I needed. :) Thanks again! 
Everything Is Set. 
TrenchBroom 2.0.0 Beta 93e34bf will be released tomorrow! 
GET HYPED 
 
 
OH YES! 
Super exciting! Congratulations SleepwalkR! 
 
you've put some crazy amount of work into this, grats are well deserved!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release. It was very long and tedious work to get to this point, and I appreciate all the help I have gotten.

I plan to do only bugfix releases for a while and to release a stable build on June 22nd, Quake's 20th birthday. I don't expect the beta to be very crashy because many people have already been using it.

TrenchBroom 2.1.0 will bring Quake 3 support and a better brush creation tool. Development on that will begin only after 2.0.0 is out.

Have fun and go map! 
Congrats 
Congratulation, SleepwalkR! 
Thanks For Your Hard Work! 
Your dedication and perseverance with this project is admirable. 
I Still Have Same Problem (as In TB1) With Definition Files 
my def files shows no func_ and only _relay in trigger group.
Builtin FGD also shows trigger_counter, but no func_ also.

Can't find console to check if there is any parse errors. 
Did You Ever Report That Problem On Github? 
 
Dedication And Perseverance 
Thanks - I feel more like these guys, though: http://fgalve.deviantart.com/art/Don-quijote-and-Sancho-Panza-440302970 
I Did, Though Now I'm Pretty Sure It Is Intended Behavior 
Can clarify - it is true only for Entity Browser pane.
I guess it only shows point entities.
