Kokua Viewer
A new version of Kokua Viewer has released: 3.8.2.36975. This is a VMM (Viewer Managed Marketplace) compatible viewer. The release notes are here.
{ The “Crabby” Little Mermaid }
This version is not up to date on RLV.
The Linux version has several caveats.
HyFy Update
CtrlAltStudio has released a new script for local chat, which is kind of like a new feature or plugin for the HyFy viewer. More info. I expect the viewer for Sansar to work with a similar plug-in style.
Firestorm Viewer
There is now a VMM compatible version that is out. The Firestorm blog says:
Aug 3rd UPDATE: LL released Viewer Managed Marketplace today, you can download and use it on their viewer here. We hope to have a build in preview group by the end of the week [8/7], and a release mid week next week [8/12]. We’ll have a blog post here once its available in our preview group.
Rumor is only the Firestorm test crew has access to the VMM version of Firestorm. I suspect we will see a release this month, but not this week (33).
Windows 10
Regardless of which viewer you are using, you are probably considering a Windows 10 upgrade. I did my laptop today. It still seems to work. So, far I like it. I did turn off lots of stuff. I think I got most of the privacy breaking stuff disabled.
Honour McMillian has also upgraded her machine and writes about it in: Second Life, Windows 10, & Me. For her it seems to have been a good move. Others… not so much.
Linden Viewers
SL Main Viewer 3.8.2-303891 – Now about a week old. I find it has problems. I get black screens and Not Responding messages. I’ve had a couple of crashes. In high mesh areas it crawls.
RC Second Life Importer Viewer version 3.8.3.304090 – This is the viewer with changes in the mesh import feature.
RC Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 3.8.3.304115 – This is the version with lots of third party features and fixes. Release Notes. Said to be ‘20% better and 30% funner’.
Second Life Project Notice Viewer version 3.8.1.303211 – This version handles your notices differently.
Second Life Project Oculus Rift Viewer version 3.7.18.295296 – Do I need to explain?
We should see the Jelly Babies viewer coming soon. Oz says they are working with notice frequency, how often to tell a user no one can render their blinged out avatar. I am guessing that means it’s in with some of the other A-B testing projects.
NVIDIA
A new driver is out, 355.60. 8/13/2015
