Release Notes for latest Cool SL Viewer releases
http://sldev.free.fr (Linux)
http://my.opera.com/boylane (Windows)
http://hyangreflections.blogspot.com (Mac)
Patches by Henri Beauchamp (released under GPL v2 license):
* AllowDiscardForCreator: enables the "Discard" button in the notecards that you created and that are given to you with llGiveInventory(). Fixes the VWR-2290 bug.
* ATIcrashBug (for v1.20.15 and older only: implemented in v1.21): works around the hardware cursor bug of Mobility Radeon cards running with the ATI fglrx drivers. See the VWR-1320 bug report for full details.
* CommonDateAndTimeFormats: allows to configure the time and date formats and to use them coherently everywhere in the viewer (fixes VWR-721 among others).
* FileAccessSecurity: backport to v1.19.0.5 of the file access security fix introduced in the v1.20.17.0 viewer.
* FixGcc42error (for v1.19.0.5): allows to compile the v1.19.0.5 viewer with gcc v4.2. Please note that the gcc v4.2 warnings are not fixed by this patch and you will therefore need to compile the viewer without the -Werror gcc option. The latest version of make-SL entitles you to do that (by setting the ALLOW_WARNINGS variable in it to "yes").
* FloaterInspectCrashFix (for v1.21 and older): backport of a v1.22 fix for the inspect floater crashes (VWR-10823).
* HideIMinChat: allows to optionally prevent IMs to show in the main chat. Implements the VWR-3060 feature.
* HideNotificationsInChat: allows to optionally prevent the notifications (those small messages appearing in a blue box on the lower right corner of the viewer window) to show and be logged in the main chat.
* InventoryDoubleClickActions v2: defines double-click actions in inventory for objects (wear as attachments or remove if already worn), and clothes/body parts (wear when not worn, or remove when worn). Implements the VWR-1752 and part of the VWR-1825 features.
* InventoryDoubleClickActions v2_RestrainedLife_addon.patch.bz2: addon patch to apply when the RestrainedLife patch is also used (see below).
* KeepCachedSounds: cures the sound problems in -multiple mode, and allows to keep cached sounds over sessions. Fixes the VWR-2876 bug.
* LandmarksDiscardButton v2: restores the "Discard" button in the new landmarks floater. Fixes the VWR-3616 regression.
* LargePrimsAndHavok4SimHeight_v2: allows to build large prims (up to 128m large) in OpenSim and above 768m high (and up to 4096m) in SL. Also allows to TP above 1000m.
* MonoBackport v2 (for v1.19.0.5 only): backport of the v1.21 script engine with Mono compilation (and v1.22 fixes) and new LSL functions support (note that although the new LSL functions will compile thanks to this patch, most of their effects will be invisible to the patched v1.19.0.5 viewer as they involve features implemented in later viewers, such as the render glow, the extended parcel media, etc).
* MoonBrightness: corrects the brightness of the moon, allowing to actually see it, especially when it's close to the horizon.
* MoreGrids: allows to select from the login screen to which public grid (SecondLife or others) you wish to connect.
* MUposeStyleAndOOCautoColse: allows to use the MUCK/MUSH/MUX/MUD pose style (VWR-3093) and allows to auto-close double-parenthesis (Out Of Character) chat/IM poses.
* NoMultipleLocaleWarnings: prevents messages such as "WARNING: LLLocale: Failed to set locale en_US.utf8" to appear hundreds of times in the log file (any locale loading failure now appears once only in the log).
* OldTrackingDotsInMinimap: reinstates the "old" (pre-v1.18.4) mini-map icons for "above" and "below" avatars. Fixes the VWR-2808 regression. Set the "UseOldTrackingDots" flag to TRUE, and restart the viewer to enable this feature.
* PanelOverlayHidableButtons (this patch is part of the RevertUIchanges one for v1.19): allows to optionnally hide the "Release Keys" button and the "Master Remote" volume slider. Implements the VWR-3087 feature. Set the "HideReleaseKeys" and "HideMasterRemote" flags to TRUE to enable this feature.
* PanelOverlayHidableButtons_RestrainedLife_addon: addon patch to apply when the RestrainedLife patch is also used (see below).
* ReinstateAltShowPhysical v2 (for v1.19.0.5 and older only): reinstates the "Alt Shows Physical" option in the View menu (this option was removed from voice viewers). The v2 patch yet does not force any more the "Alt shows physical" when in Edit mode. Fixes the VWR-2086 regression.
* ReinstateShowTextureUUID: reverts the "fix" for VWR-1919: security by opacity is a delusion: removing this feature would not prevent pirates to steal your textures, while it would prevent you to verify that some object has been textured with your own textures. And by the way, there are much better (much more efficient) ways for a pirate to steal the textures (by using the cached files, for example)...
* RReinstateStatusbarBandwidthAndPacketsLoss (for v1.19. This patch is part of the RevertUIchanges one for v1.20): gets rid of the search box in the status bar and reinstates the bandwidth and packets loss indicators. Fixes the VWR-3156 regression and fullfils VWR-3089.
* RememberMinimizedFloatersPosition: Fixes the VWR-5530 regression (minimized floaters not remembering their position).
* RevertUIchanges_v8: this (large) patch reinstates the "old" (pre-voice) UI and adds some more features:
- Features common to all versions:
-- The chat input line, Gestures combo and Say/Shout buttons are removed from the chat history floater (this feature can be disabled by setting "UseOldChatHistory" to FALSE and restarting the viewer).
-- The friends list and the groups list are back as separate floaters that can both be shown simultaneously. As a bonus the Groups list floater also remembers its size and position (just like the friends list always did).
-- The toolbar is back to its old self (no distracting and cryptic icons and "fly buttons"), with the "Friends" button back into business, as well as (for those among you "old" enough to remember), the "Groups" button (if you don't like it, it can be hidden by setting "ShowGroupsButton" to FALSE and restarting the viewer).
-- The overlay bar (chat input line, buttons and volume/media remote controls) is back to its old self, with a few bonuses: the volume remote buttons stack nicely and "smartly" to the right above the chatbar (or toolbar if the chatbar is hidden), depending on which is actually needed (media, music and voice remotes are hidden by default and shown only when needed). The master volume button was also made smaller (slider removed: only the tiny button allowing to open the volume sliders panel is shown) and smarter (it is only shown whenever one of the music, media or voice are enabled/playing, but it can be shown permanently like it used to do in v1.18.6 by setting "HideMasterRemote" to FALSE).
- Features for v1.19 only:
-- The "Release Keys" button is always hidden by default (set "HideReleaseKeys" to FALSE to show it again) and replaced by a "Release Keys" entry in the Tools menu (or World menu for v1.20), below the "Stop All Animations" one.
- Features for v1.21 and later (*):
-- Includes the StatusBarIcons patch (but allows to switch back to the new status bar icons, by setting "UseOldStatusbarIcons" to FALSE).
-- Allow the proper fonctionning of the packets loss and bandwidth tooltips.
-- Reverts to the default chat colors and behaviours of pre-v1.21 viewers.
-- Removal of the extra spacing between message lines in the chat console (unless "DisableMessagesSpacing" is set to FALSE).
NOTE: for v1.21 and later, this patch comes along with one zip file (slviewer-0-v12160-RevertUIchanges_v8-artwork-patch.zip) which is to be uncompressed after the main artwork zip file: if you are using the make-SL or cmake-SL utilities, this is done automatically
* SecurityFixBackport: backport to v1.19.0.5 of the L$ transactions (and a couple other server messages) security fix introduced in the v1.20.16.0 viewer.
* StatusBarIcons: this patch is for the v1.19 series of viewers only: it reverts a number of status bar icons (no-push, no-fly, no-build, no-script, voice...) to the old, much more readable and discernible ones (does LL have any clue about what accessibility means, even for non-disabled persons ?... Obviously not !). This patch comes along with a zip file (slviewer-v11900-statusbar-artwork-patch.zip) which is to be uncompressed after the main artwork zip file: if you are using the make-SL v1.84 utility, this is done automatically.
* TeleportHistory_RestrainedLife_addon: addon patch to apply when both the RestrainedLife patch and the TeleportHistory patch are used (see below).
* CoolPreferences: for the v1.19 to v1.22 series of the Cool SL Viewers: it adds a "Cool features" tab to the Preferences panel and allows to switch on and off the various features of the Cool SL Viewer without having to use the geeky "Debug settings" (hey !... but I'm a geek !). If you build your own viewer, please note that it only makes sense to apply this patch "as is" if all the patches of the Cool SL Viewer have been applied.
Collaborative work:
* GestureMissingError (for v1.19, fixed in v1.20): based on a patch by by Nicholaz Beresford, this improved works around the "missing gesture" bug (by me) and improves the error message when the gesture is actually missing (by Nicholaz). See VWR-333.
* LinuxShortcuts: based on a patch by Khyota Wulluf, this improved patch changes some shortcuts which collide with Linux console switching keys (CTRL ALT Fn shortcuts are turned into CTRL SHIFT Fn). See VWR-2085.
* LlhttpclientMemLeak: based on a patch by Carjay McGinnis, this patch plugs a couple of memory leaks (VWR-9400).
* LlmediaImplGstreamerFixes: aggregates patches from Tofu Linden (VWR-10370), Aleric Inglewood (VWR-10759). and, for v1.19.0.5 viewers a crash fix by me.
* RestrainedLife_v116a: based on a patch by Marine Kelley, this improved patch implements the RestrainedLife features. Set the "RestrainedLife" flag to TRUE, and restart the viewer to turn it into a RestrainedLife viewer. See the RestrainedLife Readme and the RestrainedLife API for more details.

- Features for v1.19 only:

-- Allow the proper fonctionning of the packets loss and bandwidth tooltips.
-- Reverts to the default chat colors and behaviours of pre-v1.21 viewers.

NOTE: for v1.21 and later, this patch comes along with one zip file (slviewer-0-v12160-RevertUIchanges_v8-artwork-patch.zip) which is to be uncompressed after the main artwork zip file: if you are using the make-SL or cmake-SL utilities, this is done automatically

* TeleportHistory_RestrainedLife_addon: addon patch to apply when both the RestrainedLife patch and the TeleportHistory patch are used (see below).
* CoolPreferences: for the v1.19 to v1.22 series of the Cool SL Viewers: it adds a "Cool features" tab to the Preferences panel and allows to switch on and off the various features of the Cool SL Viewer without having to use the geeky "Debug settings" (hey !... but I'm a geek !). If you build your own viewer, please note that it only makes sense to apply this patch "as is" if all the patches of the Cool SL Viewer have been applied.

* RestrainedLife_v116a: based on a patch by Marine Kelley, this improved patch implements the RestrainedLife features. Set the "RestrainedLife" flag to TRUE, and restart the viewer to turn it into a RestrainedLife viewer. See the RestrainedLife Readme and the RestrainedLife API for more details.
