Linden Lab has released the tenth 1.20 Second Life release candidate viewer. Release candidates start counting from zero, so the first one in the series is RC0.

Release notes are not included in the installer. More fixups with the thread-watchdog, fixes to flexi-prims to make them work more like existing viewers, a bunch of crash-fixes. However this version will not work on Mac PPC at all. Maybe the next RC will do so. That puts us at least one more RC out from a full-release.

Fixes in RC8:

  • Fixed: VWR-1352: A strange copy operation of LLStyle

  • Partial Fix: VWR-1715: Macintosh cyclic short-term freezing of display, getting worse over time; does not respond to commands, eventually change of POV causes crash

  • Fixed: VWR-2679: Joystick flycam breaks after switch to fullscreen mode

  • Fixed: VWR-6016: FMOD problem: update3dPosition error

  • Fixed: VWR-6107: When uploading animations the Ruth model appears dimly lit and unshaded

  • Fixed: VWR-6244: Building outlines get dissorted/out of position by one frame when moving the object with SpaceNavigator

  • Fixed: VWR-6948: Flexi prims are rendered differently in 1.20 - breaks products

  • Fixed: VWR-7322: Chatter's name is not beside chatter's text in Communicate Local Chat (when 'Show Timestamps in chat' is unchecked)

  • Fixed: VWR-7335: Revert to non-HTML search for Search>Places in 1.20

  • Fixed: VWR-7342: Linux 1.20(7) libexpat.so.1 not found, exit on load

  • Fixed: Pasting multiline clipboard content into chat loses newlines

  • Fixed: Critical message window should not say "Critical message" because it is the Community Standards document

  • Fixed: Remove First Use dialogs for sitting and movement key binding during Orientation Island

  • Fixed: Default the mini-map to off for new users

  • Fixed: Text on Send button for Group IM is right-justified

  • Fixed: Region/Estate> Estate tab has a misaligned outline on Estate Managers box

  • Fixed: Parcel tag overlaps image on Sell Land floater if longer than 36 characters

  • Fixed: Increase thread monitoring mainloop timeout from 10 sec to 20 seconds

  • Fixed: Additional thread monitoring tweaks, added a timer to confirm if the watching thread has been hung

  • Fixed: Minor bugfixes to thread monitoring during crashes, purgeAllTextures, and the user setting whether to submit crash reports

  • Fixed: option to Send Crash Report is not persisting

Localization Fixes:

  • Fixed: Added new translation strings for German, Korean, Japanese

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 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
