About Kirsten Viewer S16

KirstenLee Notes on S16
1) The Fastest Rendering Viewer in SL, and it's really quick both on start up and rendering in world even in laggy sims, the comments from users have ranged from 'wow' to 'bloody hell!' It uses a mixture of code from various viewers, bit of a hybrid really.
2) New UI skins, with clearer Fonts (and no licensing issues.)
3) Avatar Scanner - Scan up to 500 meters and across sim borders, brings up names and distance. Allows viewing of profiles and teleporting of friends.
4) Asset Browser - View every texture and photo in your inventory preview, or use the asset browser to apply the textures directly to builds via drag and drop.
5) More Prim manipulation different ways to cut prims in SL, and on opengrids micro and monster prim creation.
6) Some severe modification to what information is sent by the viewer when active - no sending of stats to a grid, such as FPS, Lang and version etc.
7) Modified network system viewerside.
8) Very low memory footprint runs much better on marginal hardware (older laptops) even runs on the Intel Atom-based Ultra Portables - Great for running multiple clients if needed.
9) Stable - Incorporated fixes that were either not used by Linden Lab or have come from sources not working directly on SL viewers such as RealXtend.

And new releases again.

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 44 (stable, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 12 (stable, Windlight renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.5.0 release 1 (still very experimental)

New patches and crash fixes. One new feature for v1.21 and v1.22 (not needed in v1.19) is the ability to remember the stats floater position and size over sessions.

All three versions also have new chat feature "OOC chat parenthesis auto-close" (can be disabled from the Cool features tab of the Preferences menu). E.g, while role-playing, when you want to speak Out Of Character (OOC), the convention is to enclose your OOC text between double parenthesis, like so "((phone call, BRB))". This new patch takes care of adding the closing "))" when they are missing, thus saving you some typing.

Enjoy, folks!

And here new releases.

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 43 (stable, based on 1.19.0.5)
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 11 (stable, based on 1.21.6)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.4.0 release 2 (based on release candidate from Lab 1.22.4)

New "CommonDateAndTimeFormats" patch that is a first step towards the full internationalization of date and time and that makes, at last, the formats coherent throughout all the viewer menus.
The corresponding settings have of course been added to the Cool features tab of the Preference floater.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!
