Release Notes for v5.0.8 (329250) - Second Life Viewer

Second Life Release Viewer version 5.0.8.329250

Released on September 29, 2017.

Adds support for a higher quality voice using SLVoice version 4.9
Fixes the apparent position of the speaker in nearby voice
Improves retry behavior when there are problems connecting or during temporary connection problems
Logs more detailed information to the Lab for quantifying connection issues
Improves security of the communication between the viewer and SLVoice
Unrelated to voice, improves the validation of TLS certificates (security improvement)

Notes:

local teleports will cause a short (a few seconds) voice interruption because the viewer now detaches from voice a little earlier in the teleport sequence.
With some SLVoice changes, the SLVoice executable can be copied into another viewer - that will not work with this one. There are changes to the connection between the viewer and SLVoice that are required. Talking to any viewer version should work.
