Release Notes for v5.1.3 (513005) - Second Life Viewer

Second Life Release Viewer version 5.1.3.513005

Released on March 02, 2018.

[ 32-bit Windows | 64-bit Windows | Macintosh | ]

Release Notes   This Release Candidate viewer includes several fixes to the Rendering pipeline (always a little scary). Please report all issues to us in Jira, we'll be watching for them. This version is based on our new 64-bit Second Life Viewer. More details about the change to 64-bit can be found here. There is no Linux viewer available for this build Improvement to mesh LOD calculation (account for CTRL+0) Improvement: Agents that render as jelly dolls should have their attachments render at 0 LoD to prevent loading higher LoD complexity in memory thus deterring crashes -> debug setting RenderAutoMuteByteLimit has to be > default of 0 for this feature. Bug: Mesh avatar deforms constantly - was due to bounding box / LOD swaps Bug: Some mesh turned invisible when camera is moved - was caused by fix for MAINT-6125.   Bug: Setting one avatar to "Do not render" causes all avatars to become impostors Bug: Tile-based texture animation Scaled incorrectly for worn Rigged Mesh on MacOS Bug: Ribbon particles flash in some cases

Resolved Issues   MAINT-3178 [MAINTENANCE RC] Ribbon particles using textures containing alpha flash white at certain camera angles MAINT-3825 animated tail reduces FPS to 4 then crashes the viewer MAINT-47 [PUBLIC]WindLight: Special overlays (including property lines and hilights for beacons) aren't visible in shader water MAINT-6125 Mesh avatar deforms constantly MAINT-6437 Tile-Based Texture Animation Scales Incorrectly for Rigged Mesh when worn (MacOS only) MAINT-6645 Improvement - Agents that render as jelly dolls should have their attachments render at 0 LoD to prevent loading higher LoD complexity in memory thus deterring crashes. MAINT-6872 Account for CTRL+0 zoom when mesh LOD is calculated MAINT-6910 [MAINT-RC] Some mesh turns invisible when camera is moved on the Maint-RC viewer only - caused by fix for MAINT-6125. MAINT-6917 Setting one avatar to "Do not render" causes all avatars to become imposters MAINT-7058 Failure to copy Extents into new face when uploader creates new (secret) materials causes bounding box to include unit cube at origin, which may be outside uploaded geometry, causing incorrect LOD and physics mesh stretching. MAINT-7119 [Love Me Render] Issues with RenderAutoMuteByteLimit() versus worn legacy prims, sculpts and non-rigged mesh. MAINT-7213 Shared media (media as a texture) unusable with transparent mesh MAINT-8031 [Win] media_plugin_libvlc error while trying open .mov format media
