This is a minor maintenance release but all users should nonetheless update to it.

Cool VL Viewer v1.32.2.33 v1.32.2.34 (stable branch):

New in this release:

• Backported from LL's viewer-ForeverFPS changes to how PBR waters render, now closer, if still far from equal, to Windlight waters: the Fresnel refractions and reflections are now back to what they used to be, making the water look less "oily".
• EDIT (v1.32.2.34): fixed the inout vs in parameter type mismatch with the new water shaders, that could cause shader compilation failures (and thus crashes) in PBR mode, with some OpenGL drivers. See this thread for details.
• Reduced the wait for staled/stuck threads in LLThread::shutdown() from 60s to 250ms.
• While shutting down the viewer, do not sleep inside LLAppViewer::frame() any more, even with frame-limiting on, or while still at the login screen.
• Linux aarch64 only: updated sse2neon to v1.8.0.
• Linux x86_64 only: updated jemalloc to the latest git version.

Enjoy !

Cool VL Viewer v1.32.2.35 (stable branch):

New in this release:

• Backported from LL's viewer-ForeverFPS "fix media failing to function on PBR materials".
• Backported from LL's viewer-ForeverFPS "add some haze to the distance on PBR water".
• Backported from LL's viewer-ForeverFPS "add support for PBR water exclusion surfaces" (i.e. this restores invisiprims support in PBR rendering mode for hiding water).
• Backported from LL's viewer-ForeverFPS "make LLFolderBridge::checkFolderForContentsOfType() cheaper".
• Changed how the avatar profile data is updated, which might solve this UI glitch.
• Changed the central Cookies database and CEF cache locations (Cookies are now kept in a cef_cookies sub-directory of the per-account settings directory, and the cef_cache sub-directory was moved into the viewer cache directory, were it belongs). This should be transparent to the user (old Cookies central storage is automatically copied to the new location).
• Updated FMOD Studio to v2.03.06.
• Linux only: updated libSDL to v2.30.12 and recompiled libndofdev against it.
• Linux only: recompiled Dullahan against the latest CEF 132 release.
• Minor code cleanup and optimizations.

Enjoy !
