Release Notes   BugSplat viewer Update changes This viewer introduces a revised updater, replacing the current Viewer Manager Process (VMP). Instead of running the VMP before every viewer session, we now run the updater as a child process of the viewer. Viewer notifications are used to alert the user to a pending update. This viewer starts more quickly than with the VMP. It displays only one Taskbar or Dock viewer icon. Pinning that icon should behave exactly as expected, going forward. Pinned icons for the VMP or the VMP-mediated viewer may need to be deleted and recreated. We still run the updater before _first_ launching a newly-installed Windows viewer, to address the potential problem of installing a 64-bit viewer on a Windows system that does not support it. Similarly, if you install a 32-bit viewer on a Windows system that can support the 64-bit viewer, it retrieves the 64-bit viewer instead. Install changes We are now allowing non-admin Windows users to install Second Life. If you have previously installed Second Life as an Admin user in Windows, this viewer should install to the same location as the prior versions. If you have *never* installed Second Life before and you install it as a non-admin Windows user, it will now install to your local user directory. Bugsplat If this viewer crashes, the crash report is sent to BugSplat rather than to Linden's internal crash reporting system. (Third party developers: the existing Breakpad crash-reporting code is still present in the code base. BugSplat integration is enabled by a CMake variable.)
