Release notes for Snowglobe version 1.0:

New in Snowglobe 1.0

Below is a list of features new to Snowglobe 1.0, relative to the Second Life viewer version 1.23

  • Faster in-viewer map using the Amazon S3 repository tiles. Map textures fetched using a new, general-purpose HTTP texture fetching mechanism (see HTTP Texture) which will see more widespread use in later versions.
  • New texture caching mechanism
  • AimeeT's two Minimap changes:
  • Setting babble loop beta->default: VWR-10311 and VWR-13260 (from User:Mm Alder)
  • Easier build system: VWR-12758
  • Allow XUI to specificy tooltips for combo box list entries: VWR-13177
  • Combo to preview textures at common aspect ratios: VWR-8008 (from Aimee Trescothick)
  • 64-bit Linux fixes: VWR-12763 (from Robin Cornelius)

Known issues

  • Curl crash: spurious crash, no repro steps: SNOW-2
  • SNOW-2 - Snowglobe sometimes crashes fetching textures (problem in libcurl)
  • SNOW-48 - Large textures sometimes appear fuzzy and not fully loaded
  • SNOW-18 - On main login screen, when updates are available, the update and release notes are un-clickable
  • SNOW-14 - Entering fullscreen sometimes makes rendering very dark/black. Relog corrects problem.
  • SNOW-22 - False warnings for some platforms not meeting minimum spec
