- VWR-11453 : Relative path to fmod_hidden_symbols.exp breaks Makefiles build on the Mac.
- VWR-9255 : Open source build fails on mac_updater and mac_crash_logger targets due to info.plist problems.
- VWR-8482 : Exit flycam mode when the joystick is disabled.
- VWR-8430 : Various improvements to the land tools floater.
- VWR-8341 : Indicator button for flycam mode.
- VWR-7383 : Wakes from AFK when moving the joystick, preventing sleeping avatars walking around!
- VWR-6583 : Turns manipulation of objects with the joystick in build mode off by default.
- VWR-6550 : Makes the avatar run when you push the SN harder.
- VWR-6482 : Enables the full range of motion when walking (i.e. allows walking diagonally etc.)
- VWR-6360 : Makes the autofly option also apply to the joystick and makes it jump in no-fly areas.
- VWR-6358 : Adds OK and Cancel buttons to the joystick setup window.

Obsolete(ish)
- VWR-12766 : Text entry box disabled on received group IM sessions.
- VWR-6368 : Prevents involuntary camera movements when leaving build mode.
- VWR-4371 : Ambient sounds should be affected by the master volume. Work was duplicated internally, not made it to a release yet though.
- VWR-3257 : More visible land brush. Still using in my own viewers as I find the new land brush arrows hide the land contour too much for accurate terraforming.
- VWR-328 : Optionally hide voice indicators.
