RC & Project Viewers

RC Maintenance Viewer version 3.7.26.299610 – This is the version with lots of bug fixes – It has problems. So, it’s a weak candidate for promotion next week (12).

RC Hover Viewer version 3.7.26.299635 – This version is considered very new and therefore needs more testing. However, word is it is working very well. So, we may have our avatar hover issues resolved soon.

RC ToolsUpdate Viewer version 3.7.26.299443 – This one might be promoted. It is Oz Linden’s choice and it is looking good for being the one as of Friday.

If it promotes, it means all future viewers will use the new tools, VS2013, for compiling.

My viewer updated last Thursday (3/5). I’m now running on the RC Tools Update Viewer version. This is the newer Login Viewer compiled with the new build tools.

The memory leak I’ve been dealing with in the previous version seemed worse in this version. I was lasting about 15 minutes then my viewer was stuttering, jerking and thrashing textures. I was thinking I would probably have to move off it and get another RC viewer or maybe even a Project viewer.

It looks like the Project Tools Update Viewer version 3.7.25.298862 will update in Week 10. I would guess it will promote up to an RC release.

This version is a feature locked version, meaning the build tools won’t get any more new things until this viewer is out and people are testing it. Once it release and data is collected another round of improvements will be embarked on. Apparently there is a cue of things waiting for this phase to complete so they can be implemented into the process.
