What's New
- Lots of crash and performance fixes - including many improvements specific to avatar performance
- The Bottom Bar is now customizable, with several new buttons (map, minimap, etc) and the option to choose exactly which buttons you wish to see
- The Sidebar can be set up to overlay the world instead of pushing it aside (un-check the Sidebar box under 'Automatic position for' in Me > Preferences > Advanced)
- New camera and movement controls that are more usable - Orbit and Pan camera actions have been put back on a single control, and Strafe is back!
- Many UI bug-fixes to improve your Second Life experience
- Improvements to better support low-end hardware
- The GPU/feature table is now stored on the web, so as new hardware comes out or drivers change, we can modify the features without requiring a new viewer
- Voice Morphing gives you the ability to modify the way your voice sounds in lots of fun, creepy and interesting ways...
Get Voice Morphing!
To turn on Voice Morphing, just click the ^ button to the immediate right of the 'Speak' button on the Bottom bar. In the floater, click anywhere on the 'Voice Morphing Off' button, use your mouse wheel or the scroll bar to scroll to the bottom of the list, then click the 'Get Voice Morphing' link to open the Second Life Voice Morphing web page. From there, just follow the instructions and surprise your friends (only those running Viewer 2.1) with any one of the available voice 'fonts'.
