I just re-relased v1.26.0.20 and v1.26.1.8 today (CoolVLViewer-1.26.0.20b.exe and CoolVLViewer-1.26.1.8b.exe overlay packages). There is no change in the code of the viewers, but both were recompiled with the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option which allows the executables to use more than 2Gb of memory on 64bits systems and 32bits systems supporting it (Windows XP 32bits and later should support it natively, Windows 2003 and sooner might support it with a special boot option: see Micro$hit "knowledge base" for how to set it). Also, the new v1.26.1.8 overlay contains a patched version of the tcmalloc library that properly releases to the system the memory freed by the viewer (thus avoiding the apparent memory leak that mesh viewers show and that can lead to crashes). |

Here are two new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/: These are mainly polishing releases, but the mesh branch is now considered stable and its version number was bumped to v1.26.2.0 as a result. Cool VL Viewer v1.26.0.22 (non-Mesh, legacy Windlight renderer, stable branch) New in this release:
Cool VL Viewer v1.26.2.0 (Mesh, new Shadow renderer, stable branch) New in this release: same changes as for v1.26.1.22 (see above), plus:
Note: when updating from v1.26.1.x to v1.26.2.0, you might want to copy your settings_coolvlviewer_1261.xml file to settings_coolvlviewer_1262.xml (file to be found in the "user_settings" directory, itself located at the same level as the "logs" directory) to avoid reconfiguring the whole shebang. Enjoy ! |

Here are two new releases of the Cool VL Viewer, available now from http://sldev.free.fr/: Important, distribution change: I finally found an easy to use, powerful, multi-platform installer software (InstallJammer). This lead me to provide the Cool VL Viewer as a stand-alone package instead as of an overlay to Snowglobe v1.4.2. Note that the latter is still downloaded during the installation process so to extract from it the few proprietary files (the KDU image decoder and the Vivox voice system) whenever needed (i.e. when making an installation from scratch: updates do not trigger a Snowglobe download). For this reason and since the executable files are now branded following the Cool VL Viewer name instead of Snowglobe's, you will need to uninstall completely any fomer v1.26 version of the Cool VL Viewer, and to reinstall v1.26.0.26 and/or v1.26.2.4 (both can be installed on the same system if needed/wished). There is a small drawback to this new installation method: since the Cool VL Viewer menus are not translated, the UI is now English only; the "overlay" installation method allowed to use the old Snowglobe translations, but these were so very deprecated that they could cause more troubles (and even crashes) than anything else: if you still want to use the Snowglobe translations, just copy the corresponding directory manually into skins/default/xui/, but do make sure to remove the notifications.xml file from the translations (else, you will get crashes) ! Cool VL Viewer v1.26.0.26 (non-Mesh, legacy Windlight renderer, stable branch) New in this release:
Cool VL Viewer v1.26.2.4 (Mesh enabled, new Shadow renderer, stable branch) New in this release: same changes as for v1.26.0.26 (see above), plus:
Enjoy ! |

New installers have been posted on the website. No change in the viewer code, just a new panel to allow using an already downloaded Snowglobe archive. Note however that the old installer for v1.26.2.4 had a deprecated avatar_lad.xml file packed in, which prevented to use the new Neck and Avatar Center attachment points. If you got the old installer, you can now get the new one and update the v1.26.2.4 installation with it to fix this issue. See the Windows Howto for the screenshots and directions. |
