Latest Secondlife news, updates to omvviewer the Secondlife text client and new releases of omvviewer

Well i'm really rubbish at keeping things upto date but the current status is as follows



omvviewer-light, the Gtk# cross platform text viewer for Secondlife, has had loads of work done to it, its much much more stable now and i have spent quite some time on stability as well as general usability improvements. The biggest fix is getting appearance to work correctly as i know a few of you were reporting errors with this.

Latest info and downloads can be found at http://www.byteme.org.uk/omvviewer-light.html although i have v0.45 in the SVN at the moment and should release within the next week.



omvviewer has undergone some work as well. We are now using a topgir controlled git repository to maintain the viewer source, I also have some help from Aleric and terrex on the viewer so it should keep the releases comming smoothly. Terrex is doing the ubuntu port of omvviewer.

If there are any other distros out there that want to come and join us it would be great to all be working of a common repsitory for this work.

Join us on IRC, #omvviewer on efnet

The last release on experimental is 1.22 RC1 but the source to RC2 is live so that will be updated in the next day or so as well. Also we have Dale Glass's Avatar scanner included now, this can replace many of the in-world lsl radars that we all use and is far more efficient and accurate. Check it out on the View menu. Thanks to Carjay for rebasing this patch, I started doing it myself and this saved loads of work ;-)

General SL news (source code related anyway)

OpenAL has hit trunk in Linden SVN that means the next 1.23 release should have openal sound working out of the box, *Horray*
