The canonical viewer source is in the viewer-release repository; the tags of the form major.minor.patch-release indicate the revisions used to build the default viewer at that release number.

This page documents each viewers currently being made available by Linden Lab (including the default viewer), with information on which repository and changeset was used to build each.

For links to download these viewers, see the official Alternate Viewers page.


Release Channels

The default cohort viewer here is the default provided by the downloads page. The other cohorts are candidates being evaluated to be the next default; all are believed to be stable.
