Second Life Beta Viewer version {{{version}}}

Released on December 14, 2012.

[ Windows | Macintosh | Linux]

Feature Highlights   HTTP-based Communications A new scheme for performing HTTP operations is introduced with this release. It is intended to reduce crashes and stalls while performing HTTP operations and generally enable performance and reliability improvements in the future. In this release, it is being used by the viewer's texture retrieval code. Our expectation is that it will provide consistent and predictable downloading of textures. As well as the usual problem reporting, we're also interested in confirmation of improvements where this release improves your experience.
