Second Life and Virtual Worlds
General Viewer Information
Marine Kelley has announced the release of viewer version 2.9. See: Restrained Love Viewer v2.9. This is the version with additional camera controls.
Marine describes the changes this way: “In essence, the goal is to let a script restrict the camera and the view : how far and how close the camera can go, how clearly and how far the user can see, and whether to let the camera go through walls or not.”
The Deploy announcement is out. The GROUP BAN project is to be promoted to the main grid. That will make it grid wide. You need to get the project viewer to take advantage of the feature. But, whether you have the viewer or not, if you are banned you are banned and will not be able to re-join the group. The project viewer is only needed to DO the banning.
So, this means there will be a rollout tomorrow morning for the main channel.
NiranV announced the release of Black Dragon 2.3.9.9 (A?). The release notes are here.
It looks like this is mostly a bug fix version. The article includes a long boring video. The screen captures are interesting.
This viewer seems to silently update. The current release is dated 2014-06-07 and is labeled version CoolVLViewer-1.26.12.3-Windows.
The page with Linux and Mac versions is here: Cool VL Viewer.
The team building the Kokua and Imprudence viewers has announced they have moved their bug reporting and code repositories to Source Forge, a well know repository for open source projects.
The Imprudence Viewer’s bug reporting is here.
The Kokua Viewer’s bug reporting is here.

This week’s (23) server rolls returned the packages that briefly ran last week, until Wednesday evening’s re-roll that wiped them out. Yesterday (this week’s Wednesday) those were re-deployed with the only change being the security fix was added.
Le Tigre now has the Group Ban project package. With a Group Ban Project Viewer you can try out the feature. It is not 100% and won’t be until the update is rolled to the entire grid. This means for now you can group ban people. But, there are ways around the ban and those only close once the roll is grid wide.
