New Second Life release candidate viewer: 1.20(RC4)
Filed under: Betas, Bugs, Patches, News items, Second Life
Linden Lab has released the fifth 1.20 Second Life release candidate viewer. Release candidates start counting from zero, so the first one in the series is RC0.
This is a rush-release, as you might notice that the previous RC3 was released only yesterday (Wednesday). Apparently attempting to enter the appearance editor caused an instant crash. Oops. So much for QA.
There isn't a lot else new to speak of in this viewer, except a known issue with terrain textures on MacBook Air notebooks, and that llLoadURL opens in the external web-browser by default, instead of the internal web-browser.
Fixes:
- VWR-6286: changed the method LLControlGroup::loadFromFile to only load values of settings that are persistent
- VWR-6792: Instant Crash on Editing Appearance
- Fixed: Crash in LLFloaterIMPanel when starting conference
- Fixed: Crash on LLVOVolume::sculpt - newview/llvovolume.cpp
Changes:
- llLoadURL now opens web pages in external browser by default
Known issue:
- On MacBook Air notebooks, only the High Terrain Texture ground texture displays. The other 3 Terrain Textures in the Region/Estate dialog's Ground Textures tab do not display.
Release candidate viewers access your live account on the main Second Life grid (Agni). Potentially they may cause hair-loss in pets, and should be always be kept out of reach of children. The downloads are served by Amazon's S3 service and we use and recommend the use of a download manager to keep your download times to a minimum.
You can download this viewer from the usual place. The download for Windows is 34MB, Mac OSX is 72MB, and Linux is 55MB.
