Wednesday a new package will roll out to the three RC channels. All we know about this package is: minor internal changes. 

Viewers

Main Viewer 4.0.5-315117. I’m not overly happy with this viewer. Sunday it was crashing about 3 times per hour… I haven’t had time to chase the problem. I just use the Bento Project Viewer.

RC Second Life Inventory Message Viewer version 4.0.6.315555 – No updates since last week.

RC Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 4.0.6.315924 – The previous ‘Maintenance’ version was 4.0.6.315551. But this is not the same viewer. While they have similar names, they are about different things.

New in this viewer:

  • People floater:
    • Searching for avatars in Friends and Nearby is easier now – you will see Display Name [ username ] by default. Hide via View/Sort options -> Hide usernames.
    • Eject/Freeze added to Nearby floater context menus for easier griefing response.
  • Pathfinding notification:
    • “Rebake region” is right in the Pending changes notification toast now.
  • Object Bonus:
    • Added a warning dialogue to inform of potential massive autoreturn or impact to parcel prim budgets.
  • UI Scale:
    • UIScaleFactor, known internally as “dial-a-bug” can now be increased to 2.0. Dial at your own risk.

Second Life Project Bento Viewer version 5.0.0.315657 – See Second Life: Project Bento Update 2016 w22 for more information and bugs.

Second Life Project Oculus Rift Viewer version 3.7.18.295296
