New FeatureManagerQuirks patch: fixes a couple of quirks in the graphic card feature manager code.
New ErrorMarkersLogMessages patch: fixes quirks in post-crash session log messages.
New LayersetWithoutCompositeLogSpam patch: prevents lag-generating log spam when encountering layer sets without composite.

Updated ItemLinksAndMultipleAttachmentsSupport patch: this new version implements new debug variables (OSAllowMultipleAttachments and OSAllowInventoryLinks, which are set to FALSE by default), so that the multiple attachments and inventory links features can be enabled only on demand for OpenSim grids, since they cause issues with grids not supporting those features (see this message for details).

Cool VL Viewer 1.25.0 (14) with display names support
downdload here
With this first version (others will follow), the following is implemented/supported:
You can choose how the display names are used: either disabled entirely (only "legacy names" are displayed and new residents appear as " Resident"), or displayed as "Display Name [Legacy Name]", or entirely enabled (only the display names showing). Note that when an avatar doesn't have a display name, only their legacy name is displayed, whatever the setting.
The display names are used (when enabled) for the avatar names bubbles, for the avatar tooltips (including for the tooltips of the dots in the mini-map), in the local chat and in the avatar profiles (note that in the latter, display names are always followed with the [legacy name]: this is on purpose, of course).
You can change and reset your display name from the Display Name floater (open it via the "Edit" -> "Display Name..." menu item).
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW RESIDENTS:: to log in with the Cool VL Viewer (or any v1 of v2.0 to v2.2 viewer), you must put your registration name (user name) in the input box for the "Firstname" and "Resident" in the input box for the "Lastname", on the login screen.

Some viewer related thoughts
Viewer related scene looking strange for me last months, like competition between LL and TPV, which i'm not sure is a right thing, because there should be more partnership and support to platform developer, instead of whining about how bad V2 is.
New viewer generation was a big investment for LL and as platform developer and service provider they trying to make it working well for anyone, thats where 3rd party developers can help, but problem is, there not much of help as it could be and as platform developer expected. Clinging on old and dropped 1.x framework is futureless, development (platform and client) can't be stopped, just because if it stopped it dead.
Get used to 2.x, guys, it is time to do.

Cool VL Viewer 1.25.0 (5)

changes and what's new :
New ContextMenuTextEntry patch: implements a clipboard actions context menu for line and text editors (so to cut/copy/paste/etc just with the mouse).
New TemporaryTextureUpload patch: implements temporary textures upload support.
New SLPluginAndMediaFixes (replaces SLPluginFixes) patch: this new version also fixes the problem with media auto-play failures encountered in Snowglobe v1 based viewers.
Updated ItemLinksSupport patch: this new version definitely solves the first glitch that was described in this post.
Updated RestrainedLove patch: this new version fixes the failure to properly save the TP ok flag on log off which prevented being able to choose your start location on next log in, and implements full support for inventory item links.
Updated MoreGridsDynamic patch: fixes an URI for Meta7, adds more OpenSim grids to the list, and entitles you to create your own custom_grids.xml file (same format and place as grids.xml, in the app_settings/ directory) to override and complement the shipped grids.xml file (custom_grids.xml will never be overwritten when you update the viewer).

Cool VL Viewer 1.25.0 (4)
Download here
changes and what's new :
New CameraConstraints patch: When DisableCameraConstraints is set to TRUE, this patch further disables the camera constraints: 1.- on the minimum zoom distance to avatars (and in particular their attachments). 2.- on the maximum zoom out distance, allowing it to equal the draw distance in all circumstances (used to be further limited by the sim width, i.e. 256m while the draw distance can go up to 512m). When the new CameraIgnoreCollisions debug setting is set to TRUE, it also disables the automatic move of the camera out of objects whenever it collides with them.
Updated Radar patch: this new version improves the avatar tracking feature (do not list the avatar name twice in the world map under the tracker dot, keep tracking when the radar update is set to off, and automatically stop tracking when the avatar goes/TPs away). Also, when an avatar goes away, its name is now listed in italics in the radar during the 10s grace period.
Updated VisitedLandmarks patch: this new version changes the icon in real time in the inventory (color changed from brown to red) whenever a landmark has been visited.
Updated RestrainedLove patch: this new version fixes the "Start Location" combo box manual editing (the viewer failed to log in at the manually entered locations with RestrainedLove v1.23d). See this post.
Updated CoolPreferences patch: adds a setting in the Miscellaneous sub-tab for the new CameraIgnoreCollisions feature.
Updated CPUhungrySearch patch: do not destroy the Search floater (only hide it) when teleporting from the Places search tab. Reminder: destroying the Search floater (via its close ("X") button) also destroys the built-in browsers (which eat up 100% of the CPU power under Linux and MacOS-X due to a bug in LL's proprietary llqtwebkit library) but also make you loose the search results. Toggling (hiding/showing) the Search floater doesn't loose the search results (but keeps your CPU loaded).
Updated SLPluginFixes patch: this new version allows to play more video formats and to get closer to what v1.23.5 is able to play (Snowglobe v1 based viewers are extremely buggy without this patch, when it comes to media plugins and video streams).

changes and what's new :
New HideTeleportProgress patch: allows to optionally hide the teleport progress screen.
Updated ItemLinksSupport patch: this new version implements optional settings in the "Make New Outfit" floater, and restores OpenSim compatibility. See the details in this post.
Updated AvatarSizeInAppearance patch: this new version is adapted to Snowglobe sources and removes the less precise (off by one inch) size indicator from the shape tab, and replaces it with a size indicator in the floater itself, thus visible as well when the shoes tab is selected (shoes height do affect the avatar size).
Updated RestrainedLove patch: allows to enable "Add to Outfit" and "Replace Outfit" even when some RestrainedLove attachment is locked on your avatar (see this post), and allows to use SURLs and the login screen "Start Location" combo when RestrainedLove is enabled (see this post).
Updated CoolPreferences patch: adds a setting in the User Interface sub-tab for the new HideTeleportProgress feature.

Cool VL Viewer 1.25.0.0
Based on Snowglobe 1.5, running rock stable for me and way faster then legacy 1.23.
Anyway, guys, there is it, imo worth to give it a try, intel only.
On this disk image also little patch tool, kudos Barney Boomslang, for voice and kdu stuff, but it should be run only after drag and drop viewer program in /Applications folder on your mac (it looking for Cool VL Viewer only in Applications).
P.S. i'm running mac os 10.6 on intel mac, that is my building and testing environment, i cant provide testing for 10.4, 10.5 mac oses and also i cant and wont spend my time for support power pc.
