{{GreenCheckbox|title=Release Notes|body=This viewer introduces two sets of improvements intended to make your Second Life graphics experience better:
;Graphics Presets
:You can now create different saved "presets" for your graphics preferences, and quickly switch between them using a new top bar pulldown. Create one with a short draw distance and support for lots of detail to use when going to a dance club, another with long views for exploring, and any others that you find yourself using frequently.
;Avatar Rendering Complexity Controls
:For many users, the most expensive part of rendering a Second Life scene is rendering the avatars around you. For some time, the viewer has had a measurement of how much each avatar around you is affecting your performance; this viewer introduces some control and feedback based on that measure. A new *Avatar Maximum Complexity* control lets you prevent expensive avatars from lagging you; any avatar over the limit is displayed as a solid color rather than rendering full detail. A default limit is set based on the rendering performance of your system. You'll also get a notice when your own rendering complexity changes, and an indication when you're over the limit of too many of the avatars around you.
See more about this on the [[Avatar Rendering Complexity]] page}}{{GreenCheckbox|title=Resolved Issues|body=* {{jira|MAINT-4506}} Polish translation update
