The Open Source Viewer (OSV) is a compilation of bug fixes and new features based on a released official build. The OSV is not an official release. Its main purpose is to help speed the process by which bug fixes and new features are accepted into the official build. If you would like to help in the process to test bug fixes or new features, you may download the latest OSV from the Open Second Life Community Code repository.

Open Source Viewer

Current version is: 1.18.0.6.OS.2

That version specifies that the added bug fixes and new features are based on the 1.18.0.6 official build. The "OS.#" is the extended patch level off the official build. The latest viewer has a primary highest version sequence and a secondary highest extended patch level.

Patches

Most patches originate from JIRA and are associated with the JIRA issue identifier. Patches may also originate from source code released from Linden Lab or from open source developers. All patches applied to the Open Source Viewer are included with release.

The filenames of the patches indicate from where they originated. They may have been modified in order to apply them cleanly or for minor last minute fixes. Some patches conflict and may need to be combined with other patches, and these are noted in the filenames. Each patch has the suffix "patch.txt" to indicate it is a patch. Before that suffix is the version of the Open Source Viewer for which the patch was first applied or modified to be re-applied.
