It's great to see a new version! Sorry to say that, but the old problem with crashing in Ubuntu when one opens the Preferences or runs Create Photo is back. Version 5.0 works well.
Note I have java version "1.7.0_95", OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.4) (7u95-2.6.4-0ubuntu0.14.04.1), OpenJDK ...

The levels is a fantastic feature! Thank you!
I have this problem though: I start a new project, draw a room (just a rectangle, nothing else), then add a new layer and do the same on that layer. Although I can see both rectangles under each other in the aerial view in correct order, the design view ...

I've accidentally dropped some file over an sh3d file and it was added to it. I unzipped the sh3d file, deleted the added file, and zipped the whole thing. Then I deleted the .zip extension. However, the sh3d file couldn't be open with Sweet Home 3d . Note the 'fixed' file was smaller than the ...
