Version 1.872 released on 10-19-2012
◦ SMD Exporter: SMD Exporter updated to version 1.38.
◦ SMD Exporter: Updated SMD Exporter to properly support Explicit Normals. If you need to export a model where the smoothing is controlled by an Edit Normals modifier or was created in Maya, choose the Explicit Normals option. Note that this Explicit Normals option is slower than the default Face Render Normals option that relies just on smoothing groups.
