Second Life 1.22 (RC3) now available

Filed under: Bugs, Patches, News items, Second Life

Linden Lab have made a new Second Life viewer release-candidate available. RC3 is the fourth release in the 1.22 series (Linden Lab starts counting from RC0). As usual, we have a bunch of assorted fixes and crash fixes in this edition.

This edition has five more crash fixes, some tweaks to the watchdog code (because it wasn't crashing when it should) and assorted tweaks. The Planning tab has been removed from Group Information, because it basically just never worked properly.

This looks like it might be the last release before 1.22 becomes the official viewer, unless something is reported that stops the show. Full release notes for this version are after the jump.

Changes:

  • Removed feature: Group Information > Land & L$ > Planning tab
    • NOTE: This tab has shown wrong, inaccurate calculations since version 1.18, and fails to display any information in version 1.22. Because this feature has been improperly supported by the server for over a year, it is being removed to avoid further confusion.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed (Removed): VWR-10469: Group Liability Info does not display.
  • Fixed: VWR-10597: "EjectAvatarFullNameNoBan is missing from Alerts.xml" when trying to eject an avatar
  • Fixed: Watchdog sometimes does not crash as designed when reporting an error
  • Added: Add extra debugging detection of alternate viewer.exe (second instance of SL) in windows

Bug Fixes from the Public Nightly viewers:

  • Fixed: VWR-10823: Right click > Inspect, causes viewer to crash
  • Fixed: Crash on upload Texture or upload Animation (llgl.cpp(955))
    • Also Re-fixes: VWR-10353: Crash on trying to upload assets (specifically .TGA files as reported)
  • Fixed: VWR-10728: A bug in a new function LLTexUnit::bind(LLImageGL*) in 1.22
  • Partial Fix: VWR-10397: The 'X' in front of the 'View' menu entries 'Local Chat', 'Communicate' isn't toggled
  • Fixed: 1.22 RC crashes on AMD 2.2Ghz with AGP Diamond Radeon X1550
  • Fixed: 1.22 RC3 crashes when attempting to send a Snapshot via email
  • Fixed: Errant UI artifact is visible to right of Get Top Scripts window
  • Fixed: Mac-updater.app in 1.22 RC will not auto-download the upgraded version

Localization Fixes:

  • Added: VWR-8798: Add a Polish translation to the viewer
  • Added: VWR-5733: Add a Hungarian translation to the viewer
  • Added: CT-117: Simplified Chinese full translation for the viewer

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.

Notably, while they're called release candidates, they're actually beta (and occasionally alpha) releases. The reasoning behind calling them release candidates has never been made clear.

You can download this viewer from the usual place for Windows, Mac and Linux.
