SpaceNavigator patches, though none have been adopted as yet :-

1. VWR-6348 : Allows the SN to be used to move the avatar while in build mode.
2. VWR-6354 : Stops the jump button interrupting other movements.
3. VWR-6358 : Adds OK and Cancel buttons to the joystick setup window.
4. VWR-6360 : Makes the autofly option also apply to the joystick and makes it jump in no-fly areas.

10. VWR-7383 : Wakes from AFK when moving the joystick, preventing sleeping avatars walking around!

Other patches :-

1. VWR-3257 : More visible land brush - Not likely to be accepted as a less optimal solution has already made it through QA :(
2. VWR-4371 : Ambient sounds should be affected by the master volume - Patch is somewhere in the release queue apparently.
3. VWR-5308 : More efficient wind synthesis algorithm (with Gigs Taggart).
4. VWR-8008 : Drop-down to select preset aspect ratios in texture and snapshot preview floaters.
5. VWR-8430 : Various improvements to the land tools floater.

Patches previously accepted into the viewer :-
