Linden Lab have made a new Second Life viewer release-candidate available. RC5 is the sixth release in the 1.22 series (Linden Lab starts counting from RC0). Barring any showstoppers, this appears to be the last version in the series before the release of 1.22 as the official Second Life viewer.
This edition has four more crash fixes, fixups to the wonky selection algorithms, localization fixes, and and fixes up some defective UI behavior.Full release notes for this version are after the jump.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed: Fix up the crash reporter when reporting freezes.
- Fixed: Remove the Help reference to the 'Planning' Tab in the viewer
- Fixed: misleading error message with invalid email address
Bug Fixes from the Public Nightly viewers:
- Fixed: VWR-10460: raytrace picking can't Edit or touch items that cross the avatar mesh
- Fixed: VWR-11130: raytrace picking can't select a HUD after zooming
- Fixed: VWR-11185: HUDs will not capture mouse-clicks when rezzed inworld before attaching to HUD point

- Fixed: VWR-10611: Parts of UI elements turn darker/transparent when minimizing
- Fixed: VWR-10712: Toggling from fullscreen to windowed mode using the key combination Alt+enter will cause the viewer to toggle back to full screen
Crash Fixes:
- Fixed: VWR-10714: after downloading 1.22 RC1 (Mac) I crash every time I try to upload a sound
- Fixed: VWR-4004: intermittent crash when switching to & from Fullscreen (result of corrupt texture handling)
- Fixed: crash on LLMenuGL::jumpKeysActive()

- Fixed: Chinese localization has overlapping text in Search window

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.

Second Life is just a chat box that got some custom places and some actions you can do... Its pretty much the same that I did in 1990 Amsterdam 3D someone did buy it and now it did grow into this ... and never got any cent for it :(

And World of Warcraft is just a very pretty Dikumud. Did you have a point?

...And email is just the old pony express but repackaged.
...And the internet is just Prodigy or AOL, only with a larger userbase.
...And Virtual Reality is just Nintendo with the screen strapped to your face.
...And Cell Phones are just like yelling only with a broader range.
...And I am sick and tired of negative comments that are completely irrelevant to the original posted story here at Massively. This is not a forum, Jack, so go some place else... mayhaps under a bridge.

Flaming and trolling never goes out of fashion, though. *sighs* Technology changes, but humans don't.
