New Second Life release candidate viewer: 1.19.0(RC1)

We were expecting Friday, but apparently Thursday has brought us a new 1.19.0 release candidate viewer, 1.19.0(RC1), second in the 1.19.0 series (release candidates start counting from zero, so this is RC1, rather than RC2).

The fixes in this release are mostly relatively minor (unless you're Korean, in which case the last release blew up in your face when you tried to start it). So far, release candidate viewers have not included Windlight, and this release is no exception.

Here are the basic changes and fixes for the current release candidate:

Changes:

  • Added second set of translated strings

  • Region info message is now a passive notification

  • Changed default SL window size to 1000×700, to allow buttons in UI to have proper labels

Fixes:

  • Preferences > Web has truncated text in the Address: section

  • Korean viewer crashes on startup

  • Stand up button etc disappear offscreen after using mouselook

  • Client-readme-voice.txt missing from open source distribution

  • Clicking on another users classifieds ad then closing asks you to save changes

  • Checking to select a role does not enable the apply button

  • Stray 'Done" on the Profile Web tab

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.
