Viewer Patches Submitted

SpaceNavigator patches, hopefully to be adopted soon :-

1. VWR-6348 : Allows the SN to be used to move the avatar while in build mode.
2. VWR-6354 : Stops the jump button interrupting other movements.
3. VWR-6358 : Adds OK and Cancel buttons to the joystick setup window.
4. VWR-6360 : Makes the autofly option also apply to the joystick and makes it jump in no-fly areas.
5. VWR-6368 : Prevents involuntary camera movements when leaving build mode.
6. VWR-6432 : Makes it possible to fly or drive vehicles with the joystick.
7. VWR-6482 : Enables the full range of motion when walking (i.e. allows walking diagonally etc.)
8. VWR-6550 : Makes the avatar run when you push the SN harder.
9. VWR-6583 : Turns manipulation of objects with the joystick in build mode off by default.
10. VWR-7383 : Wakes from AFK when moving the joystick, preventing sleeping avatars walking around!
11. VWR-7800 : Maintain the camera position when leaving flycam mode until the avatar moves.
12. VWR-8341 : Indicator button for flycam mode.
13. VWR-8482 : Exit flycam mode when the joystick is disabled.

Other patches :-

1. VWR-328 : Optionally hide voice indicators.
2. VWR-3257 : More visible land brush - Not accepted as a different solution had already made it through QA. Still using in my own viewers as I find the new land brush arrows hide the land contour.
3. VWR-3321 : Turn off the microphone when ending private voice calls.
4. VWR-3336 : Display friends on the mini-map in yellow instead of green.
5. VWR-4137 : Use ISO 8601 date format in the group info window, to ensure correct list sorting.
6. VWR-4371 : Ambient sounds should be affected by the master volume - Patch is somewhere in the release queue apparently.
7. VWR-5308 : More efficient wind synthesis algorithm (with Gigs Taggart).
8. VWR-8008 : Drop-down to select preset aspect ratios in texture and snapshot preview floaters.
9. VWR-8430 : Various improvements to the land tools floater.

Old patches previously accepted into the viewer :-

1. VWR-3903 : Object layer on the mini-map misaligned.
2. VWR-4083 : Clicking "Land and L$" tab in group info window crashes the viewer.
3. VWR-9255 : Open source build fails on mac_updater and mac_crash_logger targets due to info.plist problems.
