Here are two new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Users of v1.26.13 should update.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.12.36 (current stable branch):

New in this release:

• Fixed a bug in the Inspect Avatar floater that caused a wrong total number of primitives to be displayed (root primitives were not counted).
• Made sure the build tools inventory contents panel is cleared during refreshes so to avoid displaying stale items.
• Minor code cleanup and optimizations.
• FMOD Ex updated to v4.44.51.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.13.4 (experimental branch with Marketplace Listings support):

Same changes as in v1.26.12.36, plus:

• Backported the latest bug fixes (including a crash fix) and changes to the marketplace listings code from LL's viewer-DirectDelivery.

Enjoy !

Here is one new release of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.13.5 (experimental branch with Marketplace Listings and global clothing layers limit support):

New in this release:

• Backported the new clothing layers limit policy (60 layers maximum in total instead of 5 maximum for each of the 12 clothing types) from LL's Project LayerLimits viewer.

Enjoy !

Here are three new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/:

All users should update since inventory protocol changes have been implemented.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.12.37 (current stable branch):

New in this release:

• Backported the latest changes in the AIS v3 API from LL's viewer-release.
• The UseHTTPInventory setting is now ignored (HTTP inventory always on) when logged in SL. This is due to the fact that UDP inventory operations are being deprecated in SL (and already shut down in regions running RC server releases).
• Fixed the cosmetic UI bug that sometimes caused notifications not to be properly animated on opening (they must animate when no previous notification is open, but notify tips and (group) notifications must not influence each others in this respect, since they don't appear at the same place on the screen).
• Some code cleanup and minor optimizations.
• FMOD Ex updated to v4.44.52.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.13.6 (experimental branch with Marketplace Listings and global clothing layers limit support):

Same changes as in v1.26.12.37, plus:

• Backported the latest fixes from LL's viewer-DirectDelivery branch.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.8.92 (legacy branch):

This is a catchup of the bug fixes and protocol changes that went into v1.26.12 since the release of v1.26.8.91.


Enjoy !

Here are two new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.12.38 (current stable branch):

New in this release:

• Backported the latest changes to the file streams code from LL's viewer-tools-update.
• More code cleanup and hardening around file access via streams.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.13.7 (experimental branch with Marketplace Listings and global clothing layers limit support):

Same changes as in v1.26.12.38, plus:

• Backported the latest fixes from LL's viewer-directdelivery branch.

Enjoy !

Here are two new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Since they are mainly bug-fix releases, updating to them is recommended.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.12.39 (current stable branch):

New in this release:

• Fixed the "Pick Particle" feature that got broken during the implementation of the "Pick Rigged Mesh" one.
• Added a "Report..." (i.e. abuse report) item to the pie menu of the pick particle feature.
• Backported from Firestorm (Nicky's code) a fix preventing to accumulate hundreds of HUD effects (beams, TP/logon/logoff/chat particle effects, etc) while the viewer is minimized, which was causing a "HUD effects storm" when un-minized.
• Fixed a potential crash bug in the preview script code (inspired from Nicky's fix in Firestorm and further extended/refined).
• Added a double-click feature to the Mute List floater. Double-clicking on a muted avatar, group, or object (and when the latter is actually rezzed) entry opens the corresponding avatar profile, group info or inspect floater.
• Added the new OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_TYPE and OBJECT_HOVER_HEIGHT LSL constants to the script floater highlights and tool tips.
• Bumped the Restrained Love version number to 2.09.08.20 (no code change whatsoever) to reflect the fact that the Cool VL Viewer is already on par with Marine's v2.09.08.00 (and even beyond, since Marine's @adjustheight is broken).
• Minor code cleanup.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.13.8 (experimental branch with Marketplace Listings and global clothing layers limit support):

Same changes as in v1.26.12.39, plus:

• Backported the latest fixes from LL's viewer-directdelivery branch.

Enjoy !

Here are three new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/:

All users should update since important bugs have been fixed.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.12.40 (current stable branch):

New in this release:

• Fixed a bug in object culling that caused an excessive number of objects to be kept in memory.
• Fixed bugs in RestrainedLove restriction tests. See the release notes section in the RestrainedLoveReadme.txt file for details.
• Fixed a bug in export permissions (used in OpenSim only).
• Plugged a potential crash bug case in octree code.
• Backported from Firestorm (Nicky's code) fixes to memory and file handles leaks, and further refined some.
• Backported from Firestorm (Nicky's code) fixes to bad value clamping issues.
• Backported from LL's viewer-release a fix to a potential crash bug in the Pay floater.
• Improved the avatar name auto-completion (with TAB) in chat input lines, so that when a display name contains spaces, the first word is considered and auto-completed as a first name, and the rest of the display name is considered and auto-completed as a last name.
• Code cleanup (in particular, the viewer now compiles without warning from gcc with the -Wno-parentheses -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-trigraphs -Wno-non-virtual-dtor compilation options removed, which also allowed to spot bugs fixed in this release) and minor optimizations.
• Removed the defunct "New World Grid" and updated the URIs for "Zandramas Grid" in the default OpenSim grids list.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.13.9 (experimental branch with Marketplace Listings and global clothing layers limit support):

Same changes as in v1.26.12.40, plus:

• Fixed a bug in the Marketplace Listings code.
• Added OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_TYPE and OBJECT_HOVER_HEIGHT LSL constants that somehow didn't make their way as they should have in v1.26.13.8.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.8.93 (legacy branch):

This is a catchup with the fixes that went into v1.26.12 since the release of v1.26.8.92.
Note that this is the last release for this branch, which is from now on no more maintained. Please, upgrade to v1.26.12 as soon as possible.

Here are two new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Users of the v1.26.13 branch should update.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.12.41 (current stable branch):

New in this release:

• Added an "auto-focus chat" feature. When this feature is enabled, the focus now automatically switches to the chat history floater (if open) after sending a chat or emote via the chat bar, and when typing any printable character while the old style chat history floater (the one without a built-in chat input line) is focused, the focus is automatically switched back to the chat bar (and if the latter is closed, it gets auto-opened). The toggle (check box) for this feature is in the "Text Chat" tab of the "Preferences" floater.
• The shortcuts for the "View" -> "Mouse Look" and "Tools" -> "Build" menu entries have been changed from (respectively) "M" and "B" to "ALT M" and "ALT B", which allows them to work even when the chat bar steals focus and avoids getting in the way of the new chat auto-focus feature (when typing 'b' or 'm').
• Added support for the new OBJECT_LAST_OWNER_ID LSL constant to the script editor highlights and tool tips.
• Code cleanup (in particular, the Cool VL Viewer now compiles without warning with gcc v4.9) and minor optimizations.

Cool VL Viewer v1.26.13.10 (experimental branch with Marketplace Listings and global clothing layers limit support):

Same changes as in v1.26.12.41, plus:

• Backported the latest fixes to the Marketplace Listings feature from LL's viewer-directdelivery branch.
