Tomb Editor - Updates

[Lwmte]

Latest update is available here

Link above contains actual and valid new version of Tomb Editor and TEN. All updates will be posted here from now on.

Updates are released via dedicated repository as two variations of installers: for 32-bit systems and 64-bit systems. If you have modern system, it is recommended to always use 64-bit one. Also, you can directly browse repo for past TE versions if you need one.

Please don't reply to this thread if you have questions or issues, use general TE thread instead.
